Sweep of Duke Huge for the Terps

If you are a Maryland sports fan you know by know that the Terps swept the season series from Duke last night with a 99-92 overtime win at the Comcast Center. A great win for the Terps and one that will solidify their profile come tourney time. It's amazing to consider that this team swept Duke, given the trouble the Terps had in the losses to Clemson and Miami. The win last night was just as important given the fact that the next two games are on the road, which given the team's road woes would have made it nearly impossible to finish at or above .500 in conference.

The Terps also became the first team to sweep Duke in conference play since the '94-'05 Terps. But that Duke team finished 13-18 and missed the NCAA tournament. The fact that the Terps beat the Devils on the road when Duke was # 2 and againt at home with Duke # 7 is an incredible feat for this team.
