Anyone who follows college basketball closely knows how Virginia Military Institute loves to push the pace. Sometimes it works in their favor, like when they dropped 111 on Kentucky at Rupp last season, but sometimes they end up on the wrong side of a high scoring affair.

For example Saturday's game against Seton Hall, in which VMI surrendered 134 points in a 27 point loss to the Pirates.

I was scanning the box score, and came across the high scorer for the game, Jamel Jackson. Jackson a native of Brooklyn, and a player I had never heard, made 12 three's and scored 40 points.

Naturally, I thought that Jackson must be a high scoring guard, one that won't hesitate to fire away from deep or take a questionable jumper. I turns out that he is primarily a three point specialist, but not a high scorer.

In fact he scored only one point in Seton Hall's previous win over UMASS, and has had four games this season, in which he has scored four points or less.

Even more strange was the fact that he had only 47 combined points in the Pirates seven previous games.

How does a guy score only one point in one game, and then come out and score 40?

For one, VMI has to be on your schedule.
