Radford won at Texas. Radford won at Notre Dame. Radford didn't win at Ohio. Solid win.
Stats that stood out to me: Our three bigs combined to go 14-15 from the ft line. Doug Taylor had 16 rebounds (11 defensive).
A few areas of concern: Kirk had 7 turnovers, 17 for the team. We are still only playing 7 guys, and it doesn't look like that will change until Gollon and Dartis get back.
An impressive win against a quality team. It's hard not to acknowledge that we looked well-coached (I'm sure someone out there will quibble.) The defense and rebounding are solid and every guy contributed. This group plays as a team and the newcomers are becoming more confident. I have no argument with the 7-man rotation since no one else has stepped up in prior games. You do wonder if the confidence shown at home can go on the road. The injury to Gollon may be a blessing in disguise since it has allowed others an opportunity to gain experience and confidence.
+1 I agree with all of the observations here by bernie and billy. This team is showing a lot of potential. With Preston, Carter, BVP and TK, this is a very young team. They are just learning how to play together. I'm really impressed with Preston. He sees the court very well, makes good passes to open team mates and can drive to the rim very well. In my mind he will eventually make a better PG than TK, who I think would be more comfortable with more of a shooting rather than a distributor role. As with a lot of young teams, they play much better in the friendly confines of the home arena. But, being undefeated at home is impressive. The football team was undefeated at home this year through the whole schedule. That would be a high order for the basketball team to do, but right now I would not rule it out. Bring on Buffalo! ;-)
