Duke is playing very well right now, Reddick found his stroke again. Which he didn't have in the ACC game.

If Reddick isn't cold, and Sheldon Williams doesn't get in early foul trouble, Maryland can't beat them. No one can.

Williams is the big key, Duke can't win without him in the game. Reddick shooting well is just a bonus, but good pressing and defending teams like Maryland, playing zone against Duke have done very well, IF Williams is on the bench. When he's not on the bench, Duke has an inside presence like no one else. Other then that, they have way to many scoring options with Williams in the game.

Maryland is definitly good enough to beat Duke, Williams is the key. Shown in the ACC Championship game. The other side of that though, even if Williams is on the bench, Maryland can't win against Duke without a superb effort from Gilcrist. Maryland sucks against the press, and the 1-3-1 zone without Gilcrist. No one plays the 1-3-1 better then Duke.

Maryland has to pass Alabama first. The Tide played the toughest regular season schedule in the country if I'm not mistaken. They are WAY underrated. They dominated Stanford.
