QUOTABLE

"To see everyone contribute in the way they did is what we needed. I believe this team needed some confidence. We have been a little rattled, given our injury situation. Hopefully, we can build on this performance. I hope this game helps our team understand even though we have some adversity, this team is still a very good basketball team." ~ Radford head coach, Mike McGuire
