2. hahahhahahahaha
I laugh for all Duke losses. The Duke love ESPN gives has been enough to turn me against them.

3. I actually like Duke but it is good to see their fans get humbled now and
then. Any group that actually makes group plans on how they are going to harass the visiting team deserves a comeuppance.

4. What rhymes with DUKE? PUKE seems to fit.
You can't tell me they don't give kick backs to their players. I know it happens at a lot of colleges but, you have to admit that coach K has many boosters helping him. Good ole Dookies!

5. Still in disbelief
I didn't even watch the game last night. "Gee, Maryland is playing Duke and it's at Cameron. Smells like a blowout," I told myself. No way the game would be close - Maryland hasn't even been playing that well thus far this season (witness recent losses to UNC, Wake, NC State.)

Then, there's about thirty seconds left in the game, and I get a message from a friend of mine who goes to Duke saying how she will get me back for Maryland winning. I thought she was playing a joke on me, but lo and behold I turned on the TV and watched the rest of the victory.

Never a bad season when you can go into Cameron and beat Duke fairly convincingly. Still, hopefully this doesn't turn out to be an aberration.

6. Maryland actually could have won the game by a lot more but they
let Duke go on a 16-3 run near the end of the first half to put Duke up by 4 at the half. But they finished much better, making their shots in the last couple of minutes and making foul shots at the end. Good to see that. I think in the long run I would rather see them win like that then have a blowout and the lack of experience with that type of game may have been Duke's problem. They are a young team and young teams often don't do as well in that kind of situation. But Maryland's FG percentage for the game wasn't anything to brag about - low 40s if I remember correctly.
