Maryland took revenge over Duke and defeated No. 4 Duke 79-72 on Wednesday for its sixth consecutive victory. With this important victory over the Blue  Devils, Maryland is tied for the first place in the Atlantic Coast Conference, were both teams, Duke and Maryland Dominate with a 12-3 conference record each.

This was the final home game for senior player Greivis Vasquez, who scored 20 points, including a terrific basket with 37 seconds left to finish off the Blue Devils 8-game winning streak.

It was also the final home game for other key players in Maryland. Landon Milbourne and Eric Hayes were also honored before the game started. This was a big game for the Terrapins´fans, for this was the first victory against Duke in the last 7 tries.

Both teams were aware of the importance of the match. The Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season title was at stake here. And the team reacted well to the pressure. Jordan Williams had 15 points and 11 rebounds.

It was payback time. The Terrapins had not lost a game since de Blue Devils defeated them by 21 points back on February 13th. Duke gave a good fight. Nolan Smith went on to score 20 points and Jon Sheyer gave another 19 to the Devil´s count, but it was not enough to claim victory in what proved to be a tough road game for Duke.

We don´t mean to take credits away from the Terrapins. They did win outright and with plenty of merits. Yet, Duke´s center, Brian Zoubek, who had scored 16 points and gained 17 rebounds on their previous matchup against Maryland, went totally off the radar. He had an awful night. Zoubek finished with only 4 points and 13 boards.

It was a close game, all the way to the very end. It was 69-69 until Jordan Williams scored on a fast breakthrough. Then Duke missed twice. Without missing a beat, Vasquez tucked the ball and moved his way up in the air to clear some space to shoot for a sweet shot that make it 73-69. And the crowd just went absolutely wild after that. This was it. Maryland is quite looking good to take a spot into the NCAA Tournament.

If they can keep up the good work, it wont surprise us if both teams make it into March Madness.
