TOURNAMENT HISTORY
This weekend will mark Radford's 40th time competing in the Big South Tournament of which the team owns a 33-36 record all time. Radford is looking to make its first championship appearance since the end of the 2018-19 season. The Highlanders do have a streak dating back three seasons of winning at least one game in the tournament, though, falling short in the semifinals in three of the last five campaigns. The weekend will also mark the debut of head coach Zach Chu, making his first postseason appearance helming the Highlanders squad.

ALL-CONFERENCE AWARD WINNERS
Earlier this week, the Big South Conference announced their end-of-season awards which included four Radford student-athletes on their all-conference lists. Del Jones and Dennis Parker Jr. both shared the top spot atop the conference's second-team all-conference list after turning in incredible seasons that included two of the top scoring averages in the Big South. Frederik Erichsen looked sharp in his debut season on the collegiate scene, earning all-freshman honors. And finally, senior leader Brennan Rigsby Jr. took home the all-academic nod for his impressive work both on and off the court this season.
