The VMI Keydets basketball team represents the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia. They compete in the Big South Conference of the NCAA Division I. They have played their home games in Cameron Hall since 1981.^[1] VMI has played basketball since 1908, and had played in the Southern Conference until 2003, when they moved to the Big South.^[2] They are coached by Duggar Baucom.

History

VMI basketball started in 1908 under head coach Pete Krebs. The team went 3-3. In 1924, they joined the SoCon, and would leave nearly 80 years later for the Big South in 2003.^[2]

Perhaps the most famous run for the team was in 1976 and 77. The first year in 1975-76, the Keydets went 22-10 under head coach Bill Blair. After winning the SoCon tournament, VMI defeated Tennessee and DePaul before falling to Rutgers 91-75. The next year, VMI went 26-4 under first-year head coach Charlie Schmaus. After defeating Duquesne 73-66, they fell in the Sweet Sixteen to Kentucky 93-78.

When VMI joined the Big South in 2003, they had regular season records of 6-22, 9-18, and 7-20 over the next 3 years. In 2006-07, VMI reached the Big South Championship for the first time, losing to Winthrop 84-81.^[2] In 2008-09, VMI reached the championship again, but fell to Radford 108-94. The Keydets fell in the 2011 Big South semifinals to Coastal Carolina 89-81 to end an 18-13 season.^[3]
