Radford @ Hampton

Current Records: Radford 7-16; Hampton 7-15

What to Know

The Radford Highlanders are 7-2 against the Hampton Pirates since February of 2019, and they'll have a chance to extend that success Saturday. Radford and Hampton will face off in a Big South battle at 5:30 p.m. ET at Hampton Convocation Center. Neither of those teams managed to put together many points in their previous contests, so their meeting could be a low-scoring affair.

The Highlanders came up short against the Winthrop Eagles on Wednesday, falling 58-48.

Meanwhile, the contest between Hampton and the UNC-Asheville Bulldogs on Wednesday was not a total blowout, but with Hampton falling 69-53 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Radford is expected to win a tight contest. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past two games, so buyers beware.

The losses put Radford at 7-16 and the Pirates at 7-15. A couple offensive numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Highlanders are eighth worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 62.4 on average. Hampton has experienced some struggles of their own as they have only been able to knock down 38.70% percent of their shots, which is the 352nd lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
