At halftime, William & Mary held a narrow lead of 41-38, but they quickly extended their advantage in the second half. Radford struggled to find its rhythm, committing turnovers and missing shots from beyond the arc. Meanwhile, the Tribe's offense continued to click, with multiple players contributing to the effort.

Radford's inability to keep pace with William & Mary was evident in the advanced statistics. The Tribe's effective field goal percentage (eFG%) of 52.3% outpaced Radford's 49.3%, while their free throw rate (FT Rate) of 47.0% led the way for both teams.

The home team's strong performance on the glass also played a crucial role in securing the victory. William & Mary outrebounded Radford by nine, including 12 offensive rebounds that provided valuable second-chance points.

Radford's offense struggled to find its footing, particularly from beyond the arc. The visitors shot just 24% from three-point range, while the Tribe limited their opponents to a mere 33%.

The largest lead of the game came when William & Mary extended their advantage by 15 points in the second half. Radford responded with an 8-point run of its own, but ultimately fell short of capturing the win.

In the end, it was the home team's balanced attack that proved to be too much for the visitors to handle. The Tribe's victory marked a significant win in their non-conference schedule and sets them up for success in the coming weeks.
