Radford vs UNC Asheville Prediction

The Radford Highlanders are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, where they’re 8-2 SU this season. However, Radford has had issues defensively lately, and it’s led to losses in five of its last eight games. UNC Asheville has won nine of its last 10 games and that includes upset wins over Gardner-Webb, Winthrop, and Presbyterian. UNC Asheville has six road wins on the season and is 6-0 SU and ATS in its last six games against Radford. UNC Asheville beat Radford a few weeks ago, holding the Highlanders to 35 percent shooting. You can argue UNC Asheville is the better team. Give me the free bucket.

Why Radford will beat High Point

• Radford has won 12 of its last 13 Thursday night road games against the Big South Conference.
• Radford has won the first half in nine of its last 12 games against High Point.

High Point vs Radford Prediction 

High Point has started the season by playing extremely well, but they are coming off of a loss in their last game. The Panthers have been very strong defensively, as they are allowing just 64.8 points per game this year. Radford has also been solid to open the year, but they played a very ugly second half against South Carolina last time out. The Highlanders are only shooting 44.3% from the field, but they have played a tougher schedule. This should be a very good matchup to open conference play, but I have to side with Radford and the points on the road.

Radford Highlanders Betting Preview

Radford took a blowout loss to Pittsburgh 96-56 in their opener. The Highlanders got back into the groove quickly though, taking out William & Mary, Old Dominion, Evansville, and Southern Virginia over their next four outings.

In their Thursday matchup with Clemson, Radford put up another blowout defeat. The Highlanders were drilled 38-26 in the first half and got outscored 41-25 the rest of the way in a 79-51 result. Zion Walker topped the team with 10 points.

Chicago State Cougars Betting Preview

Over on the Chicago State side, they haven’t had much luck on the court this year. The Cougars opened up with six straight losses to Loyola, Youngstown State, Texas, San Francisco, Eastern Kentucky, and Indiana State.

In Friday’s Indiana State matchup, the Cougars trailed by five points at the break. Chicago State was drilled 62-31 in the second though, losing big 97-61. Quincy Allen led the way in the losing effort with 14 points and eight rebounds.

Why the Chicago State Cougars will win

• Radford has lost 10 of its last 11 Monday games against non-conference opponents.
• Radford has lost the first half in each of its last 11 Monday games against non-conference opponents.

Why the Radford Highlanders will win

• Radford has won each of its last eight day games against non-conference opponents.
• Chicago State has lost each of its last seven games.
• Chicago State has lost the first half in each of its last seven games against non-AP-ranked opponents.

Chicago State vs Radford Prediction

I’ll probably just stay with Radford, but it’s something of a hefty line. Aside from a couple of ugly losses to much bigger schools, the Highlanders haven’t looked too bad so far. Radford wasn’t going to compete on the road versus Clemson, and they ended up with a rough 30.9 percent shooting alongside 11 turnovers. That said, the Highlanders have scored very well in their wins, with 87 or more points in all four of those.

As for Chicago State, they scored 72 points in their opener versus Loyola but haven’t been able to get past 66 points since then. The Cougars have given up 79 or more points in all six games so far as well, so Radford shouldn’t have too many issues posting a big total on Monday. The 12-point margin may be a bit of a stretch though, so use some caution here.

Radford vs High Point Betting Prediction

High Point comes into this tournament as the #1 seed in the Big South, as they were able to win the regular season by one game over UNC Asheville. The Panthers went 13-3 in conference play, but did lose their last game to Longwood. High Point is scoring over 84 points per game, while Radford has scored 67, 62, and 57 points in their last three games. High Point won the first two meetings with Radford by scores of 85-71 and 99-74 and I think the Panthers are going to bounce back with a very strong effort here. Take High Point to win easily.

Radford vs South Carolina Upstate Betting Prediction

These teams finished tied for last in the Big South standings, but one team will move one game closer to the NCAA Tournament with a win here. South Carolina Upstate has lost three of their last four games, while Radford is on a two game losing streak. Both teams won at home in the first two meetings this season, with Radford winning 64-61 and South Carolina Upstate winning 78-69. Both of these teams have played pretty poorly this season and I think either team could get the win here, so I will take the points with South Carolina Upstate.

Radford Defense Looks to Bounce Back

Radford’s defense has been an issue heading into this game and they are going to need the defense to be better here. Two games ago against Winthrop, they lost 85-69 and in the last game against High Point they lost 99-74. Radford on teh season is averaging 72.2 points while their defense is giving up 71.8 points per game. The offense is ranked 227th but in the last couple of games it’s been the defense. DaQuan Smith is averaging 14.7 points while shooting 41.7 percent from the field.

Gardner-Webb Has Won Two Straight Games

Gardner Webb has won two straight games and they have to feel good about their chances heading into this game. In the last game against USC Upstate, Gardner Webb scored 73 points and ended up winning by eight points. Gardner-Webb is averaging 74.2 points while their defense is giving up 73 points per game. In this game if Gardner-Webb is going to want to find success, the defense is going to need to step up and really put the pressure on the Radford offense. Caleb Robinson is averaging 13.8 points while shooting 45.7 percent from the field. 

Radford vs Gardner Webb Betting Prediction 

Gardner Webb is averaging 74.2 points and in the last game they were able to secure the eight point victory. Radford in the last game up 99 points and they are going to really struggle to defend here. Gardner Webb is going to score at least 80 points here and that is going to be the difference here as they are going to get the job done. Back Gardner Webb to cover the spread here with ease.

Radford Highlanders vs Longwood Lancers prediction

The Longwood Lancers are probably the better team on paper, and them being at home doesn’t hurt. The Longwood Lancers are undefeated at home this season. However, the value is with the Radford Highlanders and the free points, a team that recently beat West Virginia on the road as 6.5 point underdogs, and they’re 10-4 ATS on the season. Radford is a top-100 defensive team in terms of field goal percentage allowed, and it shoots the three ball at an above average clip. It’s hard to turn down the free points with the Radford Highlanders. Give me the road dog in this contest. You can use this pick as a part of your parlay.

However, Radford is playing its best ball of the season, and we just saw an outright win as bigger underdogs against San Jose State. Radford loses as underdogs by an average of just 1.4 points. Give me the points.

San Jose State is 20-8 ATS in their last 28 games overall and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 games overall.

I’m sticking with the Spartans here. I think that San Jose State having a day between games will really help here and the Spartans ended up as one of the better cover teams in the country this season. Radford is a solid team, but I just don’t know if the Highlanders have enough in the tank to hang for a full 40 minutes. Give me San Jose State here.

Not the easiest game to predict when you consider neither of these teams have played in two weeks, so you have no idea what to expect in terms of form. With that said, Tarleton State ended the year playing some of its best ball, which includes winning its last 5 games by an average of 10.2 points while shooting 47.7 percent from the field. Tarleton State will also have the best player on the floor and has the better defense. Give me the Texans in this toss up game.

Only laying a bucket or two. Give me Radford.

Randy’s Free Pick

The High Point Panthers are coming off a nice week by their standards, but they’re still a team that’s losing on the year and doesn’t play up to their competition. The Radford Highlanders are easily the better side, and they’re 10-5-1 ATS on the road. The chalk is reasonable. Give me Radford and the chalk.

UNC Asheville Bulldogs 

UNC Asheville posted a pretty solid 14-6 run over their first 20 games of the year. The Bulldogs are a nice 6-1 over the last seven outings, beating USC Upstate, Presbyterian, Campbell, High Point, Winthrop and Presbyterian again in that time. 

In the Presbyterian rematch on Saturday, the Bulldogs had it all tied up 34-34 by halftime. UNC Asheville posted a 42-38 run in the second half and won the game 76-72. Tajion Jones led the team on 21 points and eight rebounds. 

Radford Highlanders

Over on the Radford side, they managed to go 11-9 over their first 20 games of the year. The Highlanders are also 6-1 in their last seven with wins over High Point, Longwood, USC Upstate, Presbyterian, Winthrop and Charleston Southern. 

In the Charleston Southern matchup on Saturday, the Highlanders were up 45-33 at the break. Radford hit another 45-38 run in the second half and won it 90-71. Bryan Antoine and DaQuan Smith each scored a team-high 19 points. 

ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’ll stay with UNC Asheville here. That said, I could go either way; this should be a great matchup. Both teams are playing well lately and it seems another close outcome is in the cards. The last time these teams met back on December 29, the Bulldogs pulled off a 62-58 victory at Kimmel Arena. Radford is 4-1 in their last five home games so they should be able to put up a good fight in the rematch. UNC Asheville has scored 70 or more points in six straight games though, so I don’t think the Highlanders will be able to power out the cover.

Radford is listed as a 3.5-point favorite with a ML price of -188. The total for this game is set at 123.5 points.

Injuries

For Gardner-Webb, Ludovic Dufeal is questionable for this game with an undisclosed injury while Radford’s injury list has no new announcements on it.

Matchup History

Radford’s 63-59 win over Gardner-Webb back on January 7^th, 2023, snapped a four-game win streak for the Bulldogs.

Trends

Gardner-Webb is 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 road games while the under is 21-5-1 in their last 27 road games against a team with a home winning percentage above .600. Radford is 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games following an ATS loss and 5-11 ATS in their last 16 home games against a team with a losing road record while the over is 10-3 in their last 13 home games.

Pick

This is going to be an interesting game but I’m leaning towards Radford here. The Highlanders did a good job getting the win in the first meeting between these two teams on the road as sizeable underdogs and getting back home for this one, I think the Highlanders shut down Gardner-Webb’s bid for revenge. Probably a game I’d rather watch than bet, but I’ll stick with the Highlanders here.

Radford Highlanders 

Radford kicked off the year on a 7-9 run, beating Bridgewater, Averett, Army, NC Central, Elon, George Washington and Presbyterian. The Highlanders have beaten Gardner-Webb, Winthrop, Charleston Southern, Campbell, High Point, Longwood and USC Upstate since then. 

In the USC Upstate matchup on Saturday, the Highlanders took a 27-17 advantage into the locker room. Radford was outscored 35-28 from there but held on for the tense 55-52 win. Bryan Antoine led the team on 21 points with three rebounds. 

Presbyterian Blue Hose

Over on the Presbyterian side, they beat only Piedmont International, VMI, Elon, Allen and Campbell in their first 16 games. The Hose are currently riding a nine-game losing streak, most recently falling to Winthrop. 

On Saturday versus Winthrop, the Hose took a 34-32 deficit into the second half. Presbyterian was outscored 42-26 from there and lost 76-58. Both Terrell Ard and Marquis Barnett posted 15 points apiece to lead the way. 

ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’ll probably stay with Radford. Also probably not going near this one. The Highlanders haven’t been all that impressive on the scoreboard over this current seven-game win streak, but you can’t argue with the results. Radford has been at 66 or fewer points in five of those outings and keeping opponents in line very well on the other side. That’s bad news for Presbyterian, who has scored 61 or fewer in six of their last nine outings. Radford won 69-51 the last time these teams met up back on December 31, and I don’t think this one will be that much different.

Odds

Radford and Longwood are lined at a pick ‘em for this game with -110 ML odds on both sides. The total for this game is set at 131.5 points.

Injuries

Longwood comes into this game with a clean bill of health while Kyle Burns remains out for the season for Radford with an undisclosed injury.

Matchup History

Longwood’s 71-66 win back on February 23^rd, 2022, made it back-to-back wins for the Lancers.

Trends

Longwood is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games against a team with a winning record while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 games overall. Radford is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 games following an ATS win while the over is 9-2 in their last 11 home games.

Pick

I’m sticking with Radford here. Longwood’s been solid, but I’ve made a pretty penny backing the Highlanders over the course of the season and getting them at a pick ‘em at home where they’ve been at their best this season is something I can’t pass on. Radford’s got a bit more to play for as well as they’re right behind Longwood right now in the Big South standings and I think the Highlanders snag a win at home here.

Odds

The Radford Highlanders are listed as 1.5-point road favorites for this game with an attached ML price of -125. The Over/under for this game is set at 128.5 points.

Injuries

Radford doesn’t have any new injuries listed for this game and there are no names whatsoever on Campbell’s injury report, so barring any last minute announcements, both teams will be at full strength for this game.

Matchup history

Radford won the last meeting between these two teams by a final score of 71-67 back on February 16^th, 2022 for their 5^th win in the last 7 meetings between the two teams.

Trends

Radford is 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS loss and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against a team with a winning percentage below .400 while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 games overall. Campbell is 3-13 ATS in their last 16 home games against a team with a losing road record and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS loss while the over is 3-0-1 in their last 4 games against a team with a winning record.

Pick

I’m sticking with Radford here. The Highlanders aren’t the first team I’d think of when it comes to laying points as a road favorite, but Campbell’s really struggled to cover the number at home, going just 1-5 ATS despite a 4-4 record so the bulk of those wins are likely unlined, subdivision opponents. Radford’s been battle-tested all year long on the road, are the hotter team and have outscored conference opponents by 5.4 PPG this season while Campbell’s being outscored by 3.7 PPG in conference play. Give me Radford here.

USC Upstate was 4-4 after eight games this year, beating Brevard, Coastal Carolina, CIU and Western Carolina. The Spartans have gone 2-3 since then, losing to Florida State, Kennesaw State and Charleston Southern. 

In the Charleston Southern game on Saturday, the Spartans were behind 42-38 by halftime. USC Upstate posted 47 points in the second half but still lost 90-85. Jordan Gainey led the team on 23 points with five assists. 

Over on the Radford side, they went 5-3 over their first eight games with losses to Notre Dame, Marquette and William & Mary. The Highlanders are 2-5 since then with losses to VMI, VCU, Eastern Kentucky, Kansas State and UNC Asheville. 

On Saturday versus Presbyterian, Radford took a 37-28 lead into the second half. The Highlanders posted a 32-23 run from there for a 69-51 win. DaQuan Smith topped the team with 20 points and three rebounds.

PICK: I’m going to stick with USC Upstate here. Probably staying away from this one, though. The Spartans are just 2-3 over their last five games, however they’ve scored 70 or more points in three of those outings and faced a couple of tough teams during that time. USC Upstate is capable of hitting some pretty good points totals, and they’ll probably do fairly well on the scoreboard here. Radford has given up 67 or more points in six of their last eight games, so if USC Upstate gets their offense going I think they’ll be fine.
