What to Know

The Radford Highlanders' road trip will continue as they head to Atlantic Union Bank Center at 7 p.m. ET Saturday to face off against the James Madison Dukes. Neither of these teams found much success offensively their last time out, scoring well below their season averages.

The contest between the Highlanders and the West Virginia Mountaineers on Saturday was not particularly close, with Radford falling 67-51.

Meanwhile, James Madison sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 52-49 win over the Virginia Cavaliers on Tuesday.

Radford is expected to lose this next one by 9.5. Those who got lucky with them against the spread on Saturday might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the squad has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.

Radford is now 4-5 while James Madison sits at 8-2. A pair of stats to keep an eye on: The Highlanders have allowed their opponents an average of 8.9 steals per game, the seventh most in college basketball. To make matters even worse for Radford, the Dukes come into the matchup boasting the 11th most steals per game in college basketball at 10.6. In other words, Radford will need to work extra hard to take care of the ball.
