Key Notes:

~ It was a very slow start for VMI today, starting out with Cornell taking a 10-0 run, it looked gloomy early in the William & Mary Tournament for the beloved Keydets. The Cornell big man were just over powering our small lineup and doing what they wanted to against us.

~ After early substitions our bench held Cornell off keeping the defecit from enhancing, and after a strong pep talk by Coach Reeseman to the starters, they went out there with a fire lit under them, a steal and a transition dunk by Chavis Holmes started the run, and then back to back threes by Levar Joseph, we began to figure out their 3-2 zone defense and Joseph was finding the holes leading to a quick 8 points for him after starting out 0-3 not being able to hit anything

~ They Keydets closed out the half strong only down 23-20, after giving a quick 10 points to open the game, closing on a 20-13 run isn't half bad.

~ The second half started much like the first, as Cornell built their lead right back up going on a 12-2 run as their 3-2 zone defense was just to much for VMI. Shooting a mere 35% from the field it wasn't that they were unable to get open looks it was more that we were just unable to knock them down. Definitely a very frustrating game, one we could have easily won. We did make a run late in the second half, but as it always it, too little too late, cutting the lead to 7 with 40 seconds left was to much to overcome.
