Duke rallies but falls short against Maryland

Posted On: March 3, 2010 By: Cliff Comments: (more)

Well Duke fans, there isn’t a whole lot to talk about after watching the game Wednesday night. You know anytime that the Terps and Blue Devils collide that it will be a tough game for both teams and that was exactly the way it was. Maryland jumped out to a huge lead during the first 12 minutes of the game, Duke then rallied to only be down two at half time which seemed like a huge accomplishment the way they were shooting the ball in the first half. However, in the end it was Maryland coming away with the 79-72 victory on their Senior night.

You have to give a lot of credit to the players for battling back late in the first half. That goes to show you what Coack K expects from his team and can get when everyone is on the same page.  The difference in the game was basically Maryland converting their baskets late in the game and Duke not making theirs.  Sometimes you get the breaks and sometimes you don’t.

Even with the loss, Duke still sits at the top of the ACC standings along with Maryland. With a tough game on Saturday night against North Carolina up next, the Blue Devils will need to come out and pick up a huge win to make sure they at least get a share of the ACC Conference regular season crown. I think they get it done, and we will be right back here on Saturday or Sunday talking about the game. I will also be tweeting live during the game so make sure to follow us on twitter @justdukecom

    No doubt John Wall is a hell of a player and I wish he would have came to Duke. Pretty cool though of you to talk crap about Scheyer, you must be a Terp fan and not a Kentucky fan…
