DURHAM -- It wasn't the zone part of the equation that eluded Radford, but the defense.
Duke shredded the Highlanders' ill-advised zone with 18 3-pointers in a 104-67 romp in Saturday's untelevised game at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

GREENSBORO – Fans at the Greensboro Coliseum got exactly what they expected Thursday afternoon.
North Carolina senior Tyler Hansbrough broke the ACC scoring record. Ty Lawson, the Tar Heels’ point guard, didn’t play because of an injured right big toe.
And top-seeded North Carolina rolled to a 101-58 defeat of No. 16 seed Radford in a first-round NCAA Tournament game. The only real suspense was the method by which Hansbrough would score the points to break the ACC career scoring record of 2,769 points set in 2006 by former Duke guard J.J. Redick.
