Men’s Basketball Rolls Back into Win Column with Victory Over Notre Dame of Maryland

RADFORD, Va. – The Radford (3-6) men's basketball program returned from Thanksgiving break and rolled over Notre Dame of Maryland (3-5) Saturday afternoon 102-75 to snap their skid and return to the win column.
 
KEY STATS
  • Mari Jordan had a season-high night for his first career double-double, finishing with 20 points and 10 rebounds.
  • Frederik Erichsen had a season-high of 14 points with a perfect 4-for-4 day from three-point range.
  • Radford shot the three balls often overall, attempting a season-high 48 shots from deep connecting on 20.
  • In limited action late, freshman Warren Keel Jr. came off the bench for a quick three assists and two points.
  • Radford's 51 points in the second half were a season high. The team also eclipsed 100 points for the first time since December 20th, 2024.
 
PLAY BY PLAY
The Highlanders offensive pace was quick from the start, as the team got going quickly from three. Lukas Walls had the first hit from deep followed by Dennis Parker Jr. for an 8-6 advantage. Tied briefly at 8-8, threes from Erichsen and M. Jordan helped propel the Highlanders in their first run of the day to go ahead 20-11.
 
Brennan Rigsby Jr. provided five straight points with a three and transition dunk, while Walls followed with five straight of his own thanks to a layup, steal, and another three. The burst forced a Gators timeout as Radford was up 30-16. Out of the timeout, Louie Jordan, Jaylon Johnson and Erichsen would connect from deep as Radford kept rolling.
 
Second chance points helped the Highlanders keep their run rolling as M. Jordan provided the follow-up layup. That capped the Highlanders impressive start with 51 first half points to lead 51-34 at half.
 
Parker Jr. would keep Radford moving out of the locker room as he began the second half with ten straight points. Overall, it was a 10-4 run for Radford that helped push the lead further. Johnson ended Parker Jr.'s streak with another three as Radford led 64-40.
 
Parker Jr. kept firing, though, as he connected for a three followed by Erichsen who also scored from three to give Radford its biggest lead so far at 72-43. Radford's offense was held relatively quiet through the midway point of the second half, but with less than six to play some fresh faces got the offense back to firing.
 
M. Jordan scored eight straight points to help his electric end to the game which included two threes and a dunk. Free throws from Erichsen gave Radford its biggest lead overall on the day at 93-62. Keel Jr. would provide some big minutes down the stretch as well, dishing out three assists quickly and scoring a layup of his own. The Highlanders eclipsed the 100 mark and then some to snap their losing skid, finishing with the 102-75 victory.
 
UP NEXT
Radford will look to stay hot when they flip the calendar this upcoming Wednesday, December 3rd for a unique Sun Belt foe in Southern Miss. Action begins at 7 p.m. on ESPN+, with the Highlanders' annual teddy bear toss sponsored by Carilion Clinic occurring at halftime.
