11/26/2024 8:29:00 PM | Men's Basketball
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The Mastodons were looking for a Sunshine Slam title on Tuesday (Nov. 26) evening. But the Purdue Fort Wayne men's basketball team had to settle for the second-place trophy after Radford defeated the Mastodons 69-56.
Radford scored the first nine points of the game. The first Mastodon basket of the game came at the 12:33 mark on a 3-pointer by Jalen Jackson.
The Highlanders built a lead as large as 23 at 32-9. The 'Dons quickly shrunk it to single-digits early in the second half, cutting it to seven at 48-41 with 10:45 remaining. However Radford had enough offense the rest of the way to keep the 'Dons at bay.
Jackson led the 'Dons with 23 points with four 3-pointers. Jackson is now averaging 19.3 points per game.
Rasheed Bello added 11 points. Chandler Cuthrell had eight rebounds off the bench, his most as a Mastodon.
Radford's Jarvis Moss scored 23 points and helped the Highlanders out-shoot the 'Dons 49.2 percent (29-of-59) to 37.0 percent (20-of-54).
Radford improves to 6-2 with the win. The 'Dons fall to 4-3. The Mastodons are at the newly named East Texas A&M on Saturday (Nov. 30).
