Three different players posted double-doubles for visiting Radford, led by Art Parakhouski’s 30 points and 22 rebounds, as the Highlanders defeated the VMI Keydets 111-84 in a Big South contest played Tuesday at Cameron Hall.
The two teams battled through a close game early, with six ties and six lead changes coming in the opening 9:52. VMI retook the lead on a basket by Hunter Houston, 24-22, with 10:08 left in the first half, but Radford launched a 15-2 run over the next 2:14 to go up 37-26, and the Highlanders would not trail again.
Parakhouski’s 30 points moved him past the 1,000 career point plateau, as he reached the mark in just 55 career games, the sixth-fastest effort in Big South history. His 22 boards tied the Cameron Hall record, was a new Radford school record and allowed him to post the first 30-20 game in Highlander history. Joey Lynch-Flohr had 13 points and grabbed 13 caroms, and Lazar Trifunovic scored 27 and had 12 boards.
With the win, Radford moves to 12-10 on the year and 8-4 in the Big South, while VMI falls to 7-14 and 2-9 in conference play.
2008 Waynesboro High School graduate Nick Gore had six points in 23 minutes off the bench for VMI.

Jeff Fife | An open letter to Valley UNC fans
Most of the Carolina fans around here are trying to figure out who they’d rather play in the second round, Butler or LSU. But as Lee Corso would say, “Not so fast, my friend.” Even though Radford is a 26. and a half-point underdog and a #16 seed has never beaten a #1 seed, the Hustling Highlanders should give the Tar Heels a little more action than they anticipate.

Cavs win despite shooting 24 percent in second half
Radford led 14-8 with 11:16 left in the first before Virginia closed out the first half on a 24-5 run to lead 32-19 at the break. UVa. (6-3, 1-0 ACC) actually scored 22 straight encompassing the end of the first half and the beginning of the second half to seemingly take control.
Radford (2-6) was able to stay close in large part due to Virginia’s horrid second-half shooting. The Cavs made only four of their 24 field-goal attempts in the second half and shot just 27.7 percent for the game. Read more
