What to Know

The Longwood Lancers are 1-11 against the Radford Highlanders since January of 2016, but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit Wednesday. The Lancers and Radford will face off in a Big South battle at 6:30 p.m. ET at Dedmon Center. Longwood will be strutting in after a win while Radford will be stumbling in from a loss.

Longwood couldn't have asked for a better start to 2022 than the 109-69 stomp they dished out against the Pfeiffer Falcons at home last Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Radford was just a bucket short of a victory this past Saturday and fell 73-72 to the North Carolina A&T Aggies.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Longwood is expected to win a tight contest. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (4-1), so they might be worth a quick bet.

The Lancers' victory brought them up to 8-5 while the Highlanders' defeat pulled them down to 5-9. Two offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Longwood ranks 28th in college basketball when it comes to points per game, with 80.3 on average.
