Terps Lose Claose Battle to Duke

The Terps led most of the game. The outplayed a higher ranked team for a good portion most. But in the end 2 threes would break the Terps down. Henderson hit one then singler nailed one and just like that a tie game was now a 6 point edge fro Duke and just when it was getting late. Bowie would drive and make a bank shot to cut it to four and then the wost fate would happen. Greivis in foul trouble the whole second half he might have played 5 minutes in the last stage but he would drive and be called for a charge ending his night and putting the Treps in a sticky situation without there great playmaiking PG. Milbouirne had agreta night finishing with 19 and 5 boards and making a number of short jumpers and most of his free throws. NEal would hit a big three as did Hayes Bowie also made one but the Terps needed more long range shots as Duke as they usually do relied heavily on the three point bucket to get them out of trouble. Bad freethrow shooting to as Greivis misssed 2 in a row and Bowie missed the front end of a 1 and 1 and that just hurt the Terps and they lost a hotly conteseted battle and fall to 6-7 in the ACC they need 2 wins and they will probbaly be dancing but three and they are ashoe in because 9-7 in the ACC is good enough for MaRCH but this win had they gfot it would have meant they would have been in if I heard correctly and they fell just short. Good thing the beat the Tar heels. UH
