The VMI Keydets basketball teams represented the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, Virginia. The program began in 1908, and played their games out of Cormack Field House, nicknamed “The Pit”. The Keydets were members of the Southern Conference. Their primary rival is The Citadel.

Note: The February 15 game against Morris Harvey College was forfeited by VMI due to the use of an ineligible player.
