LEXINGTON, Va. – The Wofford men's basketball team picked up a conference road win with a 63-46 victory at VMI on Wednesday night at Cameron Hall. Wofford sweeps the regular season conference series against VMI. The Terriers have won 10 in a row against VMI as the Keydets last won a game in the series on Feb. 10, 2001.

With the win, Wofford improves to 15-5 on the season and 6-1 in Southern Conference play, while VMI falls to 6-13 overall and 1-7 in conference action. The Terriers have won seven in a row and 12 of the last 13 matchups. Wofford held an opponent to below 50 points for the second time this season and the first since holding Johnson & Wales to 45 on Dec. 9.

"It's nice to stack another one," said head coach Mike Young. "It's good to get a road win and head on back to the Carolina's. We spent a lot of time on our defense and it showed.  I feel good about things. It was a good effort and a good team win."

Trevor Stumpe led Wofford with 19 points, one shy of his career high. The sophomore guard is averaging 17.1 points per game in conference play. Stumpe shot 60% from the field (6-10) and went 3-4 from deep and 4-4 from the line. Storm Murphy followed with 13 points. The freshman point guard went 4-6 from the floor and 3-4 from deep. Fletcher Magee eclipsed the 1500 career scoring mark with 12 in the contest. The junior also led with three assists and didn't record a turnover.

VMI scored first on a basket by Tyler Creammer a minute and a half into the game. The Terriers missed five consecutive attempts to open play, but then got hot and used a 14-0 run to sprint out to a 14-2 lead after holding VMI scoreless for nearly five minutes of play. Stumpe scored the first seven and Magee and Murphy combined for the second seven. The early run was too much for the Keydets to overcome and the Terriers took a 31-18 lead into the half. VMI committed 12 turnovers and recorded just three assists in the half. The Keydets were also 0-8 from three in the half, while Wofford was 6-13.

Austin Vereen sunk a three to begin the half and cut the lead to 10, but a 10-4 Wofford run stretched it back out. Two free throws by Keith Smith with 10:50 to go pulled the Keydets within seven as part of a 9-0 run, the closest they would get all game, but Stumpe and Nathan Hoover nailed back-to-back threes to keep regain the comfortable lead. Free throws by Murphy with 43 seconds left put the Terriers ahead by 20, but VMI leading scorer Bubba Parham hit a half-court shot as time expired to make it a 17 point victory for the Terriers.

Wofford held Parham, who entered the game averaging 14.6 points per game, to just 11 points. Parham didn't score a basket in the first half.

The Terriers shot 38.5% from the field and held VMI to 30.4%, the lowest field goal percentage by an opponent all season. Wofford was held to 16 points below its season average, but the differential beyond the arc proved to be a big difference. The Terriers shot 38.5% from distance while VMI shot just 13% (3-23).

Tonight's game was the second of just two away games for Wofford in January. It was also the first of three games Wofford will play over a five day span. Next up, Wofford hosts SoCon leader ETSU on Saturday, Jan. 27 at 7 p.m. in Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium. The Terriers welcome Western Carolina on Monday, Jan. 29 before hitting the road to The Citadel (Feb. 1) and Mercer (Feb. 3).

"We've got 72 hours to get it dialed up for ETSU and that's exactly what we will try to do," said Young. 'We have a lot of preparation between now and then, but we will be ready to go."
