CHAMPIONSHIP
At highest seed
Saturday, March 7
Game 7: Game 5 winner vs. Game 6 winner (ESPN2, 4 p.m.)
Team to watch: VMI. The fastest college basketball team in the country. They average over 80 possessions per game with the run and gun style. They average almost 40 three point attempts per game and knocked off Kentucky in their first game of the year.
Player to watch: The senior twins, Travis & Chavis Holmes. Both can score at will, but Chavis is the better shooter with a 44.8 % mark from beyond the arc.
Upset watch: Coastal Carolina. They beat VMI at home and took them to the brink in the other match-up. This would definately classify as an upset.
Tourney watch: This conference is a one-bid league and Radford has everything at home if they win games. Look for the championship to have the one and two seeds in it as VMI will pull out the victory on Radford's home court.
