Suliamon is the difference with 5 3's.

Mitchell muscling the skinny Duke kids for 8 points.

Beautiful D by Faust there.

Big 3 from Jake cuts the lead to 4. Shoot the ball Jake. It will open up the middle.

Allen is sitting out for disciplinary reasons. Howard needs to sit out for sucking at basketball reasons.

It is a shame, he has gotten to the rim 3 times and can not finish. Good hard working kid but not quick enough.

Maryland needs a lot more from Len. Duke is doubling but he can do better.

MD has a lot of strong, wide bodies down low.

With their quickness, they should be able to go to the hoop and clean up a lot of misses.

Aronhalt with a nice mid range jumper. A lost art these days.

[BSLMikeLowe]

What atrocious rotation and defense on the perimeter in the 1st half....a complete miracle that MD is actually in shouting distance on the scoreboard. But it won't matter, as they have no chance at all if they don't improve their defense.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Maryland has a shot to win this one. Defense needs to play better in H2.

[Mike B]

Maryland down 8 at half. Need to settle down a little more. Maybe Allen gives them a spark in the second half.
Great effort by both teams.

[Mike in STL]

I can live with only an 8 point deficit at the half to the #1 ranked team. But when you look back and see that they could have done so much more, it's deflating.

So, what does everyone think about Pe'Shon Howard's execution this afternoon?

In the words of John McKay, "I'm all for it."

Memo to Alex Len: Make a damn free throw!

[Mike B]

People are mad today. The Terps are giving a great effort. need to stay home and play more man up defense. Not every basket is the D's fault though. The Duke kids are pretty good.
We are playing a real good team who is pissed over their last game in front of a rabid crowd.
A couple of thoughts.
Logan is too slow in getting off shots against tough D
Faust is playing OK at the point but needs to not shoot so early at times.
Shaq needs to stay down on D.
Maryland spacing much better.
Duke is excellent in setting screens to set up open looks.
And yes, P is not fast enough to play a lot at this level.

Any old timers remember Reggie Jackson the basketball player. That is who P reminds me of.

When Alex Len has to dribble the ball upcourt for you, you're in deep trouble.

[BSLMikeLowe]

They're just getting whipped at both ends of the court now.

Plumlee got away with goal tend. and Duke sticks a 3 to go up 12.
