Furman begins the road trip at 15-4 overall and 3-3 in SoCon play following a 75-71 loss to Chattanooga at Bon Secours Wellness Arena on Saturday.

The Keydets are 8-11 overall and 2-4 in the SoCon, but VMI comes into Wednesday riding a two-game winning streak. VMI topped Western Carolina 66-50 at Cameron Hall on January 15 before scoring a 75-70 road win at The Citadel this past weekend. Guard Rickey Bradley Jr., one of two Keydets averaging more than 15 points per game, posted 21.5 points per contest in the wins over the Catamounts and Bulldogs to earn SoCon Player of the Week honors.
 
Wednesday's game marks the 109^th series meeting between Furman and VMI. The Paladins hold a 71-37 series lead and have won the last five meetings, including a 75-62 decision in the most recent meeting on February 14, 2024, in Greenville, S.C. VMI holds a 24-23 series lead in Lexington, but Furman walked away with a 100-60 win at Cameron Hall last season on January 17, 2024.
 
The second half of Furman's road swing is set for Saturday at 4:30 p.m. when the Paladins travel to Macon, Ga., to face the Mercer Bears at Hawkins Arena.
