Men's Basketball Continues Road Trip at William & Mary Tuesday Evening

RADFORD, Va. -- Brad Greenberg and his Radford Highlanders will continue their first of four three-game road trips this season with a 7 p.m. tip at William & Mary Tuesday evening.

The Highlanders enter the fifth meeting all-time with the Tribe 2-1 overall, following a 68-66 setback to Virginia Friday night at John Paul Jones Arena. William & Mary sits at 1-3 on the young campaign.

HIGHLANDER HITS
- The Highlanders held a 29-27 advantage at the break and led for a majority of the second half, but the Cavaliers connected on 5-of-6 free throws in the last 2:35 to come from behind and prevent Radford from winning its first-ever game against an Atlantic Coast Conference foe.

- Despite the loss, Artsiom Parakhouski (Minsk, Belarus) recorded his first career double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds. Joey Lynch-Flohr (Fairfax, Va./Fairfax) finished with 15, Martell McDuffy (Laurel, Md./DeMatha) and Kenny Thomas (Richmond, Va./Highland Springs) also contributed double figure scoring with 13 and 10, respectively.

- Along with a quartet of Highlanders going over the 10-point plateau, senior Eric Hall (Greensboro, N.C./Ben L. Smith) and Radford set new JPJ Arena records for blocked shots. Hall tied his career-high with six swats and RU turned away 10 shots as a team. Through three contests, Hall has 11 blocks, which ranks him tied for 11th nationally. The Highlanders also sit T11th among national leaders in blocked shots with 23, and rank 21st in defensive field goal percentage (.337).

- Point guard Amir Johnson moved into 10th place all-time on Radford's assist charts. The Pittsburgh, Pa., native is just 36 dimes out of the top five.
