Radford returns to the friendly confines of the Dedmon Center to try and end a three-game losing streak to open Big South Conference play Saturday. The Highlanders play host to Presbyterian at 4:00 p.m. after heartbreaking losses in each of their three games to open the league slate. Radford has dropped a two-point, last-second decision to Asheville and then back-to-back road losses in double overtime at Longwood and Gardner-Webb to begin the conference schedule.
