Mr. Holcomb-Faye started his season with a bang, leading his team in scoring 11 times in Radford's first 17 games (including a BOTD nod on
Nov. 30). But in the past couple of weeks, Holcomb-Faye has struggled, shooting 28% from the floor over a recent three-game stretch against
Birmingham Southern,
High Point and
UNCA. But last night, in a grind-it-out battle against those same league-leading Panthers, the 6'1" senior came back strong with a solid 31. He drove the baseline for a layup that beat the halftime buzzer and scoring 13 during a 14-2 gamebreaking run early in the second half. Most importantly, the win stopped a four-game losing streak for Radford and helped restore order in the Big South: two-loss
Winthrop is now tied in the loss column with 9-2 Birmingham Southern.
