SERIES HISTORY
Radford and Shenandoah have a deep history between the two squads that dates back to Radford's days prior to moving up to Division I. The first meeting came back in January of 1976, where Radford came out victorious 71-70 in Peters Hall. Shenandoah's lone win in the 11 all-time meetings came in 1978 in Winchester, but since then the Highlanders have won six straight including an 87-44 triumph by Radford in the Dedmon Center last season.
SCOUTING THE HORNETS
The Hornets debuted their season earlier this week with a 63-52 loss at home to Gettysburg College. Shenandoah will play again this Friday night before making the trip to Radford on Saturday as they host McDaniel College. In that season debut against the Bullets, Ellis Wright (19 points) and Khaydar Gilmetdinov (10 points) led the scoring with Wright just missing the double-double with eight rebounds. Head coach Nick Doyle is in his fifth season guiding the Hornets and owns a 46-59 record over that span. In the competitive Division III ODAC, Shenandoah was predicted to finish ninth by the conference's head coaches.
KEE AND KEEL SHOW
Earlier this week the Highlanders faced a tall task on the road facing 11th-ranked Tennessee and were competitive thanks in large part to the strong showings from Jordyn Kee and Warren Keel Jr. While Radford's shooting was cold overall on the night, the duo combined for 29 of Radford's 47 points off the bench. Both were career high scoring nights for the sophomores who also set their career highs in minutes played. Kee led Radford overall with 16 points with an efficient 3-4 showing from the three-point line and the team's season high for steals with four. The duo did almost all their work from the field as only one of their 29 points came from the free throw line.
PATHS TO VICTORY
Over the Highlanders' first three games the team has shown flashes of strengths in multiple facets of the game despite the trio of losses. The team shot well against San Francisco and California at 43% before facing Tennessee's stout defense on Monday night. Radford out-rebounded California 38-35 and outscored them in the paint 36-22. The team also cleaned up turnover and foul problems after a shaky first night at the Dons. Over their last two games they forced 40 turnovers to their own 30 while only committing 28 fouls, their total foul amount alone at San Francisco.
