DSU falls to Radford in CBI opener

DOVER, Delaware -- Wednesday night Delaware State made history by hosting the program's first postseason game.

Unfortunately, it was a performance the Hornets would love to forget. Radford defeated the DSU 78-57 in the opening round of the College Basketball Invitational at Memorial Hall.

The Hornets were without three starters as leading scorer Amere May was dinged up and wearing street clothes. Kendal Williams was in a walking boot, and Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference and Defensive Player of the Year Kendall Gray dressed, but did not play due to an illness.

"I hate that we came to postseason play bitten by the injury bug, but those are things you have to deal with," said DSU coach Keith Walker. "You have to persevere and continue to move on."

"Kendal Williams had an ankle injury during the last game of the (MEAC) tournament. Amere May tore his calf muscle, and Kendall Gray was sick."
