Duke at Maryland

Maryland is a young team and young teams have a tendency to underachieve on the road and overachieve at home. They have just three road wins all season but 14-2 at home, none bigger that their big win against North Carolina their last time out. They have also beaten a very good Virginia Tech team at home by ten and another good team, Miami, Fla. at home, so this team is brimming with confidence. They also know a win vs Duke puts them in the NCAA Tournament talk. The Blue Devils, after running off ten straight wins, have not played very well of late. They have dropped their last three in the ACC and almost blew up against a St. John's team that isn't very good. Maryland lost to Duke by 41 on the road and they may have a surprise for Duke in this one, I expect them to be in this one to the end and will back them with the points.
