• In their last 11 games (10-1) the Highlanders have 4 players averaging in double figures (Javonte Green 16.9, R.J. Price 13.5, YaYa Anderson 11.0, Cameron Jones 10.5). As a team, RU is shooting .403 from behind the 3-point arc (89-221).
• If the Big South Tournament started today, Radford would be the No. 1 seed owning tie-breaker advantages over High Point and Charleston Southern.
