ANALYSIS:
As an average to slightly above-average foe, Radford should probably not be discounted by opponents this year. They have a record of 22-11 and are ranked 129th overall (out of 353) in the latest Haslametrics ratings. They are also ranked by this site as the best team (out of 11) in the Big South (average ranking 208.3).

The primary strength for Radford this year is offense. The team is ranked 93rd in efficiency on that end of the floor, and they'll rack up more than 107 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Radford is one of the very best when it comes to maximizing field goal opportunities. The team is ranked 17th in the NCAA in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 88.53 vs. AO. As far as making those field goal attempts goes, the team is somewhat middle-of-the-road, converting about 44.8% of them vs. AO. Radford also does a pretty good job of protecting the ball when they have possession and not allowing quick and easy baskets off of their own turnovers. The team's rating vs. AO for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals is 9.18, which ranks #28 in the country. If Radford does have a weakness offensively, it would have to be the team's inability to get to the free throw line. The squad has a free throw attempt rate of only 22.12 vs. AO, which ranks 47th-worst in the country.

Radford is also a fairly decent team on the defensive end of the court. The team ranks 162nd nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 103 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Radford does a fairly satisfactory job to deny opponents chances to score off of the offensive glass. They have a rating of 12.01 vs. AO in potential points allowed off of second chances (ranked 56th in the country). If Radford does exhibit a weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's troubles stopping opponents from converting mid-range jumpers. AO will make good on 40.4% of their mid-range field goal attempts, and the squad ranks 27th-worst in that category because of it.
SORTABLE SCHEDULE / RESULTS:
Projections are based on present-day ratings. Stars indicate games played at a neutral location.
Game efficiencies only account for data before a contest has gone analytically final and are adjusted to extract home-court advantage.
CURIOUS TRENDS:
Radford is typically worse vs. teams that have trouble defending the mid-range shot. Against foes that have a defensive mid-range field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 34.45%, Radford performs above their norm 32% of the time. Against the remaining opposition, the team performs above average 82% of the time.
When facing teams that allow opponents to shoot well from the field, Radford often performs worse than normal. Radford is more efficient than usual 35% of the time when facing teams that have a defensive field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 43.15%. In their other contests, Radford performs better than the norm 80% of the time.
Radford does worse vs. clubs that allow a higher number of conversions off of the offensive glass. When playing squads that have a defensive second-chance conversion percentage vs. AO greater than 6.64%, Radford performs above average 20% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 65% of the time.
