What to Know

The VMI Keydets are 3-12 against the UNCG Spartans since January of 2016, but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit Wednesday.

VMI came up short against the The Citadel Bulldogs this past Saturday, falling 60-52.

Meanwhile, while not quite a landslide, the contest between UNCG and the Mercer Bears this past Saturday was still a pretty decisive one as the Spartans wrapped it up with a 59-48 win at home.

VMI have to know they'll be fighting an uphill battle given the 16-point spread they are up against. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past four games, so buyers beware.

The Keydets are now 5-16 while UNCG sits at 13-8. A couple defensive numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: VMI is 30th worst in college basketball in points allowed per game, with 75.1 on average.
