104-85

• That's the score VMI is beating SDSU by with 1:49 left.
  
• I got to the arena at halftime and I thought the game was over. The scoreboard read 58-42 VMI. I know I'm accustomed to low scores as a Princeton beat writer, but 58 points is stil a lot to have at halftime.
• VMI, though, is notorious for scoring a lot of points. The Keydets have taken 88 shots already (and made 39 of them). They are addicted to pull-up jumpers with 31 seconds left on the shot-clock. It's working for them tonight. But this score makes it all the more impressive that the Tigers held them to 68 points last night.
• According to someone on hand familiar with VMI, one of the Keydets' team goals is to force AT LEAST 30 TURNOVERS PER GAME. The Keydets got Princeton to cough up the ball an uncharacteristic 22 times with their pressing defense and constant gambling in passing lanes. They just forced SDSU into 33 turnovers.
