High Point Takes Down Radford 86-77 Behind Terry Anderson's 24 Points

High Point's Terry Anderson stole the show at the Qubein Center, scoring 24 points and grabbing 6 rebounds to lead his team to an 86-77 victory over Radford. The Panthers, now 22-4 on the season, were predicted to win by 23.6 points by CHD Scout, but Radford put up a good fight, keeping the margin to single digits. At halftime, High Point held a slim 39-37 lead, but they pulled away in the second half, outscoring Radford 47-40.

Anderson's performance was matched by Radford's Dennis Parker Jr., who also scored 24 points and added 9 rebounds. However, High Point's supporting cast was the difference maker, with Owen Aquino chipping in 17 points and 12 rebounds, and Scotty Washington adding 15 points. Radford's Jaylon Johnson scored 17 points, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Panthers' balanced attack.

The game was a back-and-forth affair, with both teams trading baskets and playing tenacious defense. High Point's ability to score from both inside and outside was too much for Radford, as they shot a high percentage from the field and controlled the paint. Radford, on the other hand, relied heavily on Parker Jr. and Johnson, but their supporting cast wasn't able to keep up with High Point's depth.

The win is a significant one for High Point, as it solidifies their position in the conference and improves their resume for tournament consideration. This game was classified as a Q4 game for High Point, meaning it was a game against a team ranked outside the top 200 in the country. While it may not have been the most challenging opponent, the Panthers still needed to take care of business, and they did just that.

For Radford, the loss drops them to 13-13 on the season, but it was still a Q2 game for them, meaning it was a game against a team ranked between 50-100 in the country. The fact that they were able to keep the game close against a team as talented as High Point is a reflection of their resilience and determination.

In the end, High Point's talent and depth was too much for Radford, and they came away with a hard-fought 86-77 victory. The win improves High Point's resume and sets them up for a strong finish to the season. With their 22-4 record, they are now in a good position to make a deep run in the conference tournament and potentially even the NCAA tournament.
