DURHAM, N.C. - J.J. Redick set a new Duke season scoring mark en route to a 25-point performance as top-seeded and third-ranked Duke defeated eighth seed Miami 80-76 Friday in the quarterfinal round of the 2006 ACC Tournament.

Miami's Robert Hite missed a three-pointer and Lee Melchionni was fouled on the rebound and hit both free throws to put Duke up five 78-73. Guillermo Diaz hit a tough three-pointer with eight seconds left and then Redick was fouled on the inbounds pass. Redick hit both free throws and Hite missed a long three at the buzzer for the final score.
