The Big South portion of the Radford University women’s basketball 2021-22 schedule was announced by the Big South office Tuesday afternoon.
The 18-game slate includes nine games in the Dedmon Center and a pair of matchups against Big South newcomer North Carolina A&T. The Highlanders will open conference play on the road against UNC Asheville on Dec. 29. The first home conference match is currently slated just after that on Jan. 1.
Radford will spend a majority of the first half of its schedule on the road with six of the first nine games scheduled for opponents’ courts. The second half of the schedule flips that theme as seven of the last ten games of the season will be played in the Dedmon Center.
The program’s final tune-up before the Big South tournament will be at home on Feb. 26 against Presbyterian. The Big South Championship will be hosted at the Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte this season as the conference will move away from the previous format that allowed top-seeded teams to host portions of the tournament.
Head Coach Mike McGuire owns a 102-50 record against Big South teams and is currently on a streak of seven straight conference seasons without a losing record. McGuire earned his 100th Big South win last season against Charleston Southern. Overall, Radford enters the year with a 341-191 (.641) record against Big South competition which is first in the all-time standings.
