RADFORD, Va. -- Fresh off a 21-point victory over Winthrop Saturday evening, Radford will continue its longest homestand of the 2008-09 campaign with a 7 p.m. tilt against Atlantic 10 foe Duquesne Wednesday at Peters Hall.

HIGHLANDER HITS
- Artsiom Parakhouski (Minsk, Belarus) and Kenny Thomas (Richmond, Va./Highland Springs)  combined to score 44 points and Radford held  Winthrop to just 18.5 percent shooting in the second half as the Highlanders ended a 12-game losing streak to the Eagles with a 73-52 win.
