VMI's tailspin hit a crescendo lat Marist on Saturday, when it allowed the Red Foxes shoot 64 percent from the field in a 112-74 beatdown. This will be the fourth game in eight days for the travel weary Keydets, who played without starting PG Rodney Glasgow (groin) for a third straight outing. Plus, top 3-point threat Brian Brown was limited to seven minutes with a stomach virus. "I've got great guys and we've been through a little adversity,'' VMI coach Duggar Baucom said. "It's no excuse to get your brains beat in by 40, but I still love my guys and the main thing that matters is [tonight]. We have as much basketball left as those guys in our locker room decide we have left. You hope they get a sense of urgency. Guys have to step up and play and we're just not doing that right now." ... This is the final road game for VMI, which closes the regular season at home Saturday vs. Longwood. ... VMI beat Liberty 82-69 in Lexington on Jan. 9, outscoring the Flames 36-18 from 3-point range.

No live telecast for Tech-Miami game

CSN announced Monday that it has dropped plans for a live telecast Wednesday of the Virginia Tech men’s basketball game at No. 5 Miami. Instead, the game will air on same-day tape at 10 p.m. on CSN.The 7 p.m. game was originally scheduled to air live on CSN’s overflow channels, CSN Plus (including Cox Ch. 9) and Comcast Network.

But the regular CSN channel will now air Wednesday’s Washington Capitals game, which originally had been scheduled to air only on NBC Sports Network. That pushes the Washington Wizards game from CSN over to CSN Plus/Comcast Network, and relegates the Hokies to a taped broadcast on the regular CSN channel.

The live ESPN3.com broadcast of the Tech game is blacked out in Virginia to give CSN exclusivity. It is not yet known if the Internet blackout will be lifted now that CSN’s telecast of the game will no longer be live.
