Not a real good half defense-wise. Started out well, but a 26-12 run by Charleston Southern has us on the ropes at home. they are shooting over 70% in the half.

Not a real good half defense-wise. Started out well, but a 26-12 run by Charleston Southern has us on the ropes at home. they are shooting over 70% in the half. I was at the game, made the trip from Ohio, met up with couple of Radford alums including my old muse hall roommate. It was an interesting game. Down by only 7 at half when opponent shoots 70% is a testament to something, probably to the fact that this team just knows how to win. 2nd half, as usual, we locked down on defense. Offense was consistent and reasonably good all night. Tiurnovers not a factor, free throw shooting very good. And boy did Ed Polite throw down some big time dunks, starting with a stick back slam off the rim on a missed layup at the beginning of the game. He is arguably the best player ever to don a Radford Uniform, or at least he deserves to be in the conversation anytime someone brings up Radford’s all time best players. Pound for pound, there’s few if any who can measure up to Ed. And it appears Tanner’s cold spell is now over. He lit it up from downtown tonight. Carlik and Travis Fields consistent and Solid. Holland is showing great improvement finishing around the basket. And Owens, Hutchinson, and Sallah all solid minutes and contribution.

I'm re-watching the Charleston Southern game, and I noticed that Chyree Walker is on the bench, and it looks like he is excited to be with us. He's sitting next to Big Lou, doing the flexing muscles thing when Ed, Carlik, Travis, and Maw are working their magic. Looks like he has bought in all day long. Looking forward to seeing him next year, hope the NCAA lets him play right away.

Totally random but RU had a good day off yesterday with Winthrop losing to Presbyterian and Campbell losing to Hampton Yesterday’s Big South scores were mostly all surprises, including Longwood losing big, USC Upstate winning big, High Point squeaking by UNCA, along with Winthrop and Campbell losses. Only Radford (thus far) has been consistent. But our schedule is about to go into hyper drive with Winthrop, Campbell and Hampton - twice each - as we end Jan and get into Feb. The toughest part of our schedule is ahead of us, even though our 7-0 start was no cake walk at all
