I think it will be closer than people think. Based on the fact that this will be the last time this group plays Duke @ Comcast, the crowd will be rowdy as ever and I think the players will play up to that.

Another group of factors will have to play in, such as the Terps keeping Duke under 40% from 3, and going long stretches without scoring a bucket on offense. Duke is coming off of a lackluster performance against UNC where glaring weaknesses were shown. Maryland needs to bang on the glass, Len needs to keep up with Plumlee and over match his intensity with some dunks or tip backs. Duke isn't a good rebounding team, but they get a lot of second chance opportunities from misses off the rim that go out to the free throw line, Maryland needs to box out shooters and keep hands in there faces.

Faust, Howard, Allen, Layman, and to a certain degree Aronhault also cannot be abysmal from 3 and miss easy lay ups or transition buckets. This is another area Duke struggles with.

I know a lot of things will have to go right for a win tomorrow, but I think Turg will get this team fired up, With Coach K saying this isn't a rivalry and he won't ever schedule UMD again and the fact this would be a marquee win for the team to go into selection sunday.

Predictions:

Wells leads the team with 18 pts, holds Curry to under 15 and limits him to 2 three pointers.

Len leads the team with 11 rebounds and gets on the right track wiith 15 points.

The boldest prediction I will make is that Pe'Shon has his coming out party and has 8+ assists and leads this team to victory.

Pe'Shon ain't coming out. He ain't even going to be there. On suspension. A definite disappointment, and a definite hit for the squad. Whatever happened, it's not good. I'm excited to watch it, but I don't think it'll be pretty.

It's a hit for Duke that Pe won't play tonight... not for MD though. MD fans should certainly be pleased with this development.
