VMI is down by only 1 point, 39-40, to Winthrop. Only 20 minutes to go. The Keydets are making it a game. GO KEYDETS!!!!!
John Says: Heartbreak. It came down to one three pointer at the buzzer. And we missed.
bullnav Says : Dang.
Update (John): Even in defeat, they held their heads high:
LEXINGTON, Va., March 3, 2007 – The VMI Corps of Cadets welcomed the Institute’s basketball team home Saturday night following a narrow miss in the team’s bid for the Big South Conference title earlier in the day.The team pressed Winthrop University’s Eagles to the final moments of the tournament at Rock Hill, S.C., in the Saturday afternoon meet. Read about the game here.
Hundreds of cadets swarmed the team bus when it pulled onto Letcher Avenue just before 9:30 p.m. Cheers and clapping greeted the players as they stepped off the bus and were escorted into the courtyard of Old Barracks. The cold and wind that met the team after the four-hour bus trip back to Lexington didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of the cadets awaiting their return.
The crowd sand the Spirit and the Doxology as team members held the Runner Up trophy for all to see.
Welcome Home.
Season’s over. Now you can do guard duty like the rest of us. And parades. And inspections.
But the real question is: Did anyone from the opposition get beaten up by a VMI cheerleaders? ;)
