Basketball - Men's

The Radford Men's Basketball team took a huge leap forward in Darris Nichols’ second year leading the program, going 21-15 overall and 12-6 in Big South play to place third in the regular season standings. After a tough schedule to start this season that included a thrilling and noteworthy win over the West Virginia Mountaineers, the team is eager to return to the Big South Championship Tournament and compete in post-season play.

Help us lead our student-athletes to success with your gift. When you give today, you help us offset expenses for travel, expanded competition opportunities and powerful recruiting tools. 

Your donations allow us to offset expenses for travel experiences - including transportation and accommodations. This year our team has benefitted from playing overseas in Tokyo, Japan as well as Cancun, Mexico. Expanded competition opportunities like these help our players experience and appreciate different cultures, raise the team's competitive profile and serve as compelling recruitment touchpoints. Resources from our fund also provide additional tools to help our coaches recruit the most talented athletes who exemplify Radford Athletics' core values.
