Maryland @ #2 Duke

The Maryland Terrapins travel to Cameron Indoor to face the #2 Duke Blue Devils today at 12 ET.

Duke is on a roll right now with Gerald Henderson playing as good as anyone in the country right now. Kyle Singler is no slouch either. Henderson is probably the most athletic player in the nation, especially considering his 6'4" frame.

Today is a good opportunity for Maryland to shock the world and go to Durham and upset a good team on the road. This could be just like they did last year around this time, going to Chapel Hill and taking down the #1 team in all the land, UNC.

They're going to need Greivis Vasquez to step up and be the great leader that he is. If Vasquez struggles it could be a long day. He has a tendency to shoot too much when he's not having a good day. This usually isn't a good formula for Maryland.

Now prediction time. I think that Maryland has good chance to win today, as Gary Williams will have the kids ready to go for this one. It is so hard to go against Duke though, but they should be on alert today. Dukies win 69-60.
