Minutes before the start of what will could be a tough day for the Terps
No empties today but the students were a little late getting here compared to previous years
Not crazy about the new Duke unis–can barely be read
Good start for the Terps at the 16 minute mark–a pan key jumper, strong D—looks like a double team or more on Stogs all day–Duke looks to be in a little malaise—7-3
Miles Plumlee–22 Rebounds —Padge Pankey, Len, Weijs–17 Combined—Our bigs just are not getting it done on the road
Nick was superb in my eyes –15 points, 8 rebounds and held his own defensively in Cameron
Just too much was put on Terrell last night. Coach K game planned to avoid giving Terrell any decent looks. The loss of PeShon threw Stogs out of kilter but this much I will say –4 of his shots went in out. Many others were ill-advised and thus he unhappily spent a little time on the bench.
a dozen for Mychal Parker–a good aggressive showing
Austin Rivers—a pedestrian performance 3-9 from the field so Duke goes to Seth Curry for 19
Weird event at halftime–Coach K came over to the students–pointed his finger and screamed “we don’t sit” twice. This was meant by bewilderment by the students. The students near me never stopped going nuts the whole game–who was he yelling at.
Some of the Dookie cheers–Tuck your shirt in about 100 times and the famous yet boring –not our rivals
One day and I hope it’s soon —it will be a pleasure to watch Maryland destroy Duke at Cameron. Hopefully it happens when the calvary arrives next year.
As usual Turge was distraught after the game lamenting that this will be the first time ever one of his teams will be out rebounded for the year.
The Terps need to bounce back next Thursday night against BC–a night when Ernie Graham will have his jersey lifted into the rafters.

Amazing Turgeon is so competitive with the trash left from Gary.
Safe to say we have a real basketball coach, not a pretender.
