Teammate Ismaila Diagne also made major waves by securing a stellar double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds. Gustav Knudsen rounded out the top scorers, chipping in 13 points after shooting an efficient 5 for 10 from the field.

Early Control and Second-Half Surge

The Dons seized total control early in the first half and successfully maintained their lead for the remainder of the contest. Radford struggled to find an answer as San Francisco built a comfortable 37-30 advantage heading into the locker room.

Any hopes of a late comeback by Radford were swiftly dashed in the second half when the Dons executed a decisive 7-0 run. That swift burst stretched a narrow one-point advantage into a comfortable eight-point cushion that secured the win.
