What to Know

The Radford Highlanders are 9-3 against the Charleston Southern Buccaneers since January of 2016, and they'll have a chance to extend that success Wednesday. Radford and Charleston Southern will face off in a Big South battle at 6:30 p.m. ET at Dedmon Center. The Highlanders won both of their matches against the Buccaneers last season (79-64 and 68-48) and are aiming for the same result this time around.

Radford received a tough blow this past Saturday as they fell 61-42 to the Gardner-Webb Bulldogs.

Meanwhile, Charleston Southern was close but no cigar this past Saturday as they fell 78-74 to the Hampton Pirates. The defeat was just more heartbreak for Charleston Southern, who fell 70-68 when the teams previously met in December of 2020.

Radford is the favorite in this one, with an expected 9.5-point margin of victory. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the team has let down bettors in their past seven games.

The losses put the Highlanders at 6-14 and the Buccaneers at 4-16. Radford is 4-10 after losses this year, Charleston Southern 3-12.
