Austin Kenon scored a career-high 38 points, including six 3-pointers, as Virginia Military Institute defeated High Point 91-84 on Tuesday night.

Kenon finished 9-for-18 from the floor and went 14-for-15 from the foul line for the Keydets (10-16, 5-11 Big South Conference), who shot 73.7 percent from the stripe (28-for-38). The Panthers posted a 57.9 mark from the line (11-for-19).
