I thought it was a typo. “Keydets Beat Kentucky,” the crawl at the bottom of the screen read.

No way, I thought. The VMI Keydets were not supposed to win this game. Heck, they weren’t picked to finish in the top half of their conference. (If this had been a matchup in the NCAA tournament, everyone’s brackets would have been blown apart by this game.)

Yet there they were, running with Kentucky, out hustling Kentucky, and simply shooting the lights out in Rupp Arena.

All Virginia is proud of this scrappy team. Great job, Keydets.
