My brother played basketball at Bluefield from '98-'02.  If memory serves, they beat Radford University two years in a row.  I'm just not certain if those games were early season games, exhibition games or a combination.

I've been texting back and forth with my brother about this.  I can't stand to feel like I provided faulty information so, I want to get it right and my memory isn't what it used to be.

The first was his freshman season and was a preseason/exhibition game at Radford.  Radford turned around and lost a week later to Concord.  The second wasn't Radford.  Bluefield beat Elon a couple of years after my brother graduated.

Every couple years or so, Bluefield finds itself accepting money from Division 1 schools for games in which it is expected to be a sacrificial lamb for major college teams.  That being said, for being NAIA, Bluefield gave a darned good account of itself against a MEAC school.

 

I was told Bluefield was up at the half 35-33. Good showing for the rams

It was nice when King beat App State a few years ago while King was still NAIA I believe in a regular season game.  Probably been 8-10 years ago as well.

You're just an App State hater.  Lol

I don't remember the years in which they occurred, but when I was in school there, UVa-Wise then known as Clinch Valley College defeated Jacksonville and took Austin Peay to OT in football. (both I-AA schools)  CVC was still NAIA then.

Fairly accurate when it comes to App State.  I remember as well 2008 UVA-Wise almost upset them before falling 82-77.  2010 was the King victory over the Mountaineers 87-76.  Each game had a fair share of Scott County kids participating was a the big reason of interest.

I'm still confused as to why he hates Appy. 

Old Southern Conference rivals across the mountain from one another I am guessing.

But they haven't been in the SoCon together for years.  I guess bad blood never dies.  I don't think they even play each other in anything now do they?
