They have to come back to Radford

I've only got a few quick things to say today. I've been meaning to write something since Saturday night, but for those of you who know me, you know I have needed some time to collect my thoughts and cool down since we lost. I do not in any way want to make excuses for the way we played on Saturday night at Liberty. We didn't play our game. We have been winning games with our defense and rebounding and both of those areas fell apart in the Vines Center. Before Saturday, we were 10-1 when we outrebounded our opponents and we had played 10 straight games where we held our opponents under 60 points. Both of those streaks ended at Liberty along with our 7 game winning streak.
But that's enough about the past. Liberty still has to come back to Radford...and we feel sure the outcome will differ next time. If that game did anything, it taught us a few lessons and we plan to learn from the mistakes we made and strive to be a better basketball team tonight. We have another tough road test tonight at High Point University in North Carolina. Right now, High Point is 3-1 in the Big South like we are and they are a team full of very talented veteran guards. We have our work cut out for us tonight but the girls are focused and ready. We plan to get back on the bus tonight sitting at 4-1 and tied for first in the league knowing that 6 out of our last 9 games are played right here at home in the Dedmon Center. I hope my next journal entry comes first thing tomorrow morning...to talk about a big win!
