FINAL: Duke 71, Maryland 59:
This is a quality win for Joanne P. McCallie’s squad on a night when it looked like the Blue Devils weren’t too interested in playing defense. Perhaps it was fatigue from the Georgia Tech game just two days ago, but Duke never looked quite as sharp as usual today against the [...]
