Yep! No excuses! We're the better team and need to win this one! Like all of these double headers, I'll be interested to see who the guy is tonight when they make adjustments to stop Ali.

Good defense in the first half! Need to do a better job of holding larger leads. But can't complain about only giving up 20 pts in a half.

Hope we can come out rolling, take control, and run away during 2nd half. Also, I’ve always been impressed with the Radford Players, fundamentally, under Coach Jones’ tenure. I know the game has changed over the last 10 years (somewhat), more more guard-oriented lineups. But I can remember when only 2 players (the guards) could bring it up court, and how nerve racking it was to watch teams press. Now all 5 players can handle the ball. Never has been an issue since Coach Jones arrived.

Attending Radford is no longer an afterthought for seldom recruited players. I like to think we've become a well respected mid-major program that isn't afraid to compete against anyone. For that reason, I think that's why we're seeing a very young team grow up and compete very quickly.

I'll add to this that Jones has done a great job at bringing in solid transfers who are more or less diamonds in the rough who are trying to prove themselves. We're starting to see that pay off in a big way with guys like Djonkam and Walker.

So far, our transfer players have accounted for 25 of our 42 points. It might be a little unconventional, but the formula is working to make us competitive.

Big road sweep. 7-1 after the first 8 BSC games. Mike Jones is doing a great job.

Nice 2nd Half. Porter gets the ‘move of the game’ from the CSU broadcast. And they even interviewed Coach Jirsa. Saw that Miles Jones got Teed up late in the game, I couldn’t tell what for. Regardless I bet That he and Coach Jones discuss it later tonight at home, if. It before.
