RADFORD, Va. – The 2021-22 Radford Men's Basketball non-conference schedule was announced on Monday morning, revealing a challenging gauntlet of regional opponents in Head Coach
Darris Nichols' first season at the helm.
The Nichols era gets a warm-up on Monday, Nov. 1 with a preseason exhibition against Eastern Mennonite and then officially begins when Emory & Henry visits the Dedmon Center on Tuesday, Nov. 9.
Radford then hits the road to Charlottesville for a contest with the 2019 National Champion Virginia Cavaliers on Friday, Nov. 12 before facing off against Virginia Tech in Blacksburg on Monday, Nov. 15.
The Highlanders will play in Furman's multiple-team event in Greenville, S.C. immediately after, facing the Paladins on Friday, Nov. 19 and then Navy the very next day on Saturday, Nov. 20.
