2009 Big South tournament winner As of March 7, 2009 Rankings from AP Poll |
The 2008β09 VMI Keydets basketball team represented the Virginia Military Institute during the 2008-09 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Keydets were coached by Duggar Baucom in his 4th year at VMI, and played their home games at Cameron Hall. It was VMI's 5th season in the Big South Conference and the Keydets' 101st season of basketball. [1]
VMI opened the year with an upset over the Kentucky Wildcats in Rupp Arena on November 14, 2008, by a score of 111β103. After losses to Virginia and Jacksonville State to drop their record to 4β2, VMI then went on a ten-game winning streak and won their first six conference games before falling to Liberty 91β80, in what was the first sellout in the 27-year history of Cameron Hall. [2]
After finishing the regular season with a 22β7 mark, VMI cruised through their first two Big South tournament games, beating Coastal Carolina 96β76 in the quarterfinals and besting Liberty 78β58 in the semifinals. The Keydets ultimately fell to Radford 108β94 in the Big South Championship game, ending their season at 24β8. The 24 wins in a season were the school's second-most all-time, trailing only the 1976β77 team who 26 wins en route to a Sweet 16 appearance. [3]
