Maryland at Duke 12:00ET, ESPN

Maryland was the last D-1 team to play a true road game and they will be making visit number three heading to Durham to play Duke. Guard Greivis Vasquez earlier heard some boos at home games over his shot selection (misses of course) and if the volatile Venezuelan thought that was uncalled for, what he has facing him against the Blue Devils fans might send him into a tizzy. Sophomore guard Adrian Bowie has provided a spark and the Terps will need his buckets to continue being 12-3 ATS they attempt 63 to 69 shots in what show be fast-paced encounter.

With Wake Forest on deck, Duke (17-1, 9-7 ATS) doesn’t want a letdown before that huge encounter. The Blue Devils are in somewhat unfamiliar territory in spite of stellar campaign.

North Carolina hogged all the earlier headlines and the play of Clemson and the Demon Deacons have made it easy for Coach K to complain about his team receiving no love. Duke still isn’t shooting as well behind the arch as in past season; however their defense is much improved in that area and they are 14-3 ATS when their opponents make 23 to 30 percent of their three-pointers in a game.

Maryland (13-5, 6-5-1 ATS) has played five games in a row that have been decided by seven or fewer points and is 4-0-1 ATS with three or more days rest. Duke is 7-4 at Cameron Indoor against Maryland, though just 5-5-1 ATS.
