Dukes edges by Virginia regardless of injuries
DURHAM, N.C.—J.J. Redick scored 25 points, and Shelden Williams had 19 points and 12 reboundst last night to lift No.1 Duke past Virginia 93-75.
Freshman Luol Deng scored 11 points despite seeing limited action due to an injury for the Blue Devils (21-1, 10-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), who have won 18 straight games overall and 39 in a row at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Duke has won 18 of 20 meetings with the Cavaliers (12-9, 2-8) dating to the 1995-96 season.
Elton Brown scored 24 points for Virginia, which fell to 1-25 all-time against top-ranked teams, including an 0-13 mark against Duke when it is No. 1.
J. R. Reynolds added 16 points for the Cavaliers.
The Blue Devils had to play most of the first half without Deng, who was injured when he charged into Brown with 16:37 left in the half. He limped off the court, and was sidelined for the rest of the half.
But he returned with 16:29 to play, and provided a spark to a Blue Devils team struggling to put away the pesky Cavaliers.
He scored nine points in 4 minutes, beginning with an up-and-under move that drew a foul on Derrick Byars. He completed the three-point play for a 55-47 lead, then drained a jumper off a feed from Redick from the right corner to maintain the eight-point edge.

Oklahoma defeats No.18 Texas Tech
The Associated Press
NORMAN, Okla. — Oklahoma bounced back from its lowest scoring output in nearly 50 years with a 63-48 victory over No. 18 Texas Tech last night.
The Sooners (15-5, 5-4 Big 12 Conference) looked nothing like the offensively-clueless squad that was routed 66-37 by Texas on Sunday, their lowest point total since 1955.
Texas Tech has lost four of its past five games after a 12-game winning streak.
Oklahoma went 9-for-22 from 3-point range and scored just often enough to hold off the Red Raiders (17-6, 5-4) down the stretch. The Sooners have won 48 of their last 50 home games.
It was the Red Raiders' first game in Norman since last year's dispute over a

slow-starting clock that allowed Oklahoma to win a pivotal Big 12 showdown. The loss infuriated Texas Tech coach Bob Knight and severely strained his relationship with Oklahoma's Kelvin Sampson.
Oklahoma, unranked for the first time in 46 weeks, led 23-8 after 10 minutes and controlled much of the game's tempo from there.
Still, the Sooners didn't exactly set the nets on fire.
Oklahoma, the worst-shooting team in the conference, went 2-of-20 from the field during one stretch that allowed Tech to go on a 14-3 run that cut its lead to 34-33.
Oklahoma nearly matched its point total from Sunday's debacle in the first
