SERIES HISTORY
The Highlanders and Bulldogs meet for the second time this season as Radford makes the return trip to Asheville after defeating the Bulldogs 63-47 earlier this season in Dedmon. Overall, in the historic series, Radford has a 62-27 edge in the series history, with Radford taking the last three games and five of the last six. During the McGuire era, Radford owns a 16-11 record against the Bulldogs.

SCOUTING THE BULLDOGS
The Bulldogs enter Wednesday's meeting looking for their first win in conference play now through 12 games of the conference schedule. The Bulldogs have had some close losses as of late and have shot over 35% in five of their last six games. UNC Asheville is led by their senior leadership Lalmani Simmons (10.6 ppg) and Abigail Wilson (10.3 ppg, 5.8 rpg) under first-year head coach Tynesha Lewis.

FINAL STRETCH
With Radford's second bye game out of the way, the Highlanders have four games remaining in the conference schedule before traveling to Johnson City, Tenn. to compete in the Big South Tournament. Two of those remaining four games are at home against Presbyterian (Feb. 22 - Senior Day, Play 4 Kay and Alumni Weekend) and Gardner-Webb (Feb. 26). Radford currently holds second place in the conference standings, 1.5 games back from a potential regular season title but part of six teams all within two games or less of the top spot in what's sure to be a thrilling finish.

WINNING FROM DEEP
One of the trends that has developed for the Highlanders this season has come from the three-point lead. When Radford outshoots opponents from deep, the team owns a 10-3 record overall and is 8-2 against Big South opponents. Comparatively, Radford is 3-12 when being outshot from three and 0-2 in conference play.
