AUSTIN, Texas — Big school schedulers are probably second-guessing themselves for calling tiny Radford for a game.
If the head coaches weren’t such good friends, Texas would probably rather never see the Highlanders ever again.
Carlik Jones made a spinning, scoop layup, then followed it with a free throw with 24.5 seconds left, sending Radford to a 62-59 upset of the No. 17 Longhorns on Friday night, earning the Highlanders the program’s first ever win over a ranked opponent.
Radford already beat Notre Dame this season and with road games and Clemson and Maryland still on the schedule in December, it’s a sure bet those schools will be scouting the Highlanders from the Big South Conference harder than they ever thought they’d have to.
