Presbyterian vs. Radford Prediction

I’m on Radford here. Between two teams that have issues finding consistency, I’ve been a lot more impressed with Radford’s recent form after that big win over UNC-Asheville, and I just feel like side-by-side, Radford is the much better team in this game. Presbyterian can hang around, but the Highlanders have gotten the better of the Blue Hose in a lot of the all-time meetings and I think Presbyterian is in some trouble here. Give me Radford in this one.
