Chip Case Goes Up For Two Of His Nine Points Against VMI
Those hapless hoopsters tasted
victory for the first time in a while,
blasting the VMI Keydets 65-44,
before some 2,200 in University
Hall Wednesday evening.
The Cavaliers needed a great
defensive effort in the second half
to pull it off. Behind 21-8, the
eagers rallied to a 22-20 deficit at
intermission, sparked by timely
shooting from Frank DeWitt and
Scott McCandlish.
Coach Gibson's troupe went
from a 22-24 count to a 51-28
advantage in just 13 minutes. The
ever-truthful stat sheet reveals the
fact that VMI tallied seven points
during a 20 minute span in which
the Cavaliers scored a whopping 43
points.
From the 51-28 lead Kevin
Kennelly directed the Virginians
toward the 65-44 finish. Frank
DeWitt finished as high man for the
Cavaliers with 16 points. Scott
McCandish turned in a 13 point
effort, and John Hill tallied double
figures with eleven.

Saturday night in University Hall.
Those with short memories be
reminded that the last time USC
ventured to Charlottesville, the
Gamecocks got crunched 86-70 in
what may have been the Cavaliers
finest effort of the season. Coach
McQuire's pride and scalp were a
bit dampened as he trod of the
court.
