Penn State men's hoop team falls to Radford

STATE COLLEGE — The fact that his team would play its fifth game in eight days was of little concern to Radford coach Mike Jones.

From the opening tip, it was evident to Radford’s coach that his squad wasn’t lacking any of its hallmark speed.

The Highlanders made good use of it Tuesday in an 86-74 win over Penn State.

“I thought our guys, right from the beginning, set the tone, set the tempo and were able to finish the deal,” Jones said.

Cameron Jones made five 3-pointers and scored 23 points for Radford (4-2). Rashun Davis added 18 points and YaYa Anderson scored 14, including four 3-pointers.

Jones and Anderson scored eight points apiece during a 22-9 run the Highlanders used to take control with 8:03 to play.

Penn State played zone to keep Davis from driving to the basket, but the Radford guard made them pay with his outside shooting. The Nittany Lions pulled within six with 3:36 left but Davis hit his second 3-pointer with 3:17 remaining to put it out of reach.
