It was a game that saw Carolina shoot 55% from the field, including 39

Heel Tough Blog: Radford Recap
Scott Kisner - Imagn Images In their first game without senior guard Seth Trimble, Carolina earned a workman-like win over 89-74, in a game that featured way too many foul calls and way too many missed free throws.
