ACC men: Terps sweep Duke with OT victory

COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Another classic duel between Duke and Maryland ended with an increasingly familiar result.

Travis Garrison had 17 points and 11 rebounds, and the Terrapins wore down No.7 Duke in overtime for a 99-92 victory Saturday night.

John Gilchrist scored 19, Chris McCray had 17 and reserve guard Mike Jones added 15 for Maryland, which completed its first regular-season sweep of the Blue Devils since 1995.

Including their win in the finals of the ACC tournament in March, the Terps have won three straight against Duke for the first time since 1982.

The Blue Devils staggered to the finish without five players, all of whom fouled out late in regulation or in overtime. Shelden Williams had 23 points and 16 rebounds and Daniel Ewing scored 23. Both were gone long before the finish.

With Maryland up 91-90 in overtime, Garrison scored on a follow and McCray made two free throws for a five-point cushion.

DeMarcus Nelson scored to tie it with 34 seconds left, and Gilchrist and Nik Caner-Medley misfired before the final buzzer.

Held to eight points before halftime, J.J. Redick sank his first 3-pointer with 10 seconds elapsed in the second half. The junior guard put the Blue Devils in front 52-50 with another shot from beyond the arc with 18:08 left - Duke's first lead since 27-26.

Minutes later, Williams scored on a tip and followed a Maryland turnover with a three-point play to make it 59-55. Another 3-pointer by Redick put Duke up by five, and after Maryland pulled even, Williams made a layup and Lee Melchionni hit a 3-pointer to spark an 11-2 run.

Jones then scored the game's next eight points to make it 73-all with 8:26 left.
