RADFORD, Va. -- Radford continues Big South play, and its five-game road trip Saturday against Presbyterian at 7:30 p.m.

The Highlanders (3-2, 1-0 Big South) look to build on a 10-game Big South road winning streak on Saturday against the Blue Hose, while seeking their first 2-0 league start since the 2000-01 season.

Radford began its 10-game conference streak with a 65-55 win at Presbyterian on Jan. 3, 2009.

Presbyterian (2-6, 0-1) dropped its league opener to High Point, 63-61, on Thursday. The Blue Hose were edged on a buzzer-beating layup that capped off a game where High Point rallied from a 10 point second half deficit.

Saturday's game is the fifth meeting between the Highlanders and Blue Hose in a series that Radford leads, 3-1.

Thursday's 61-59 overtime win over Winthrop raised Radford's mark to 11-14 in Big South openers. The win also kept the Highlanders perfect in their last four overtime contests, and 6-1 in overtime games dating back to 2008.

Big South preseason player of the year Art Parakhouski (Minsk, Belarus) carried his early-season production into conference play on Thursday, scoring 21 points and grabbing 14 rebounds for his seventh straight double-double. Parakhouski has bested the 20 point mark in every contest this season and enters the weekend ninth in the nation in scoring (24.2 points/game), while leading the country in rebounding (15.6).

Thursday's game also marked the first time Parakhouski, Joey Lynch-Flohr (Fairfax, Va./Fairfax) and Laz Trifunovic´ (Belgrade, Serbia) saw action together as a starting frontcourt trio. Lynch-Flohr had his third double-figure scoring effort of the season with 10 points, while Trifunovic netted 11 in his Radford debut.

Following Saturday's game, conference play for all Big South teams pauses until Jan. 2. Radford continues its five-game road trip with a nationally-televised (ESPNU) game at top-ranked Kansas on Wednesday night.
