Notes: Duke 73, Maryland 55
2/11/2012 7:12:00 PM | Men's Basketball
Team Notes:
• The Blue Devils wore specially designed Nike Hyper Elite Platinum uniforms today. Nike designed the jerseys, shorts and shoes for nine teams that have won NCAA Championships while wearing Nike gear. The jerseys, made from recycled polyester, are the lightest in the country and weigh five percent less than the standard Nike Hyper Elite jerseys.
• Duke improved its all-time record against Maryland to 112-61 in a series that dates back to 1926. The Blue Devils have won five straight in the series and 11 of the last 12. Duke is 53-21 against the Terrapins under Coach K.
• The Blue Devils won both regular season meetings with the Terrapins for the fourth time in the last five years.
• Brothers Mason Plumlee and Miles Plumlee combined to haul in 32 of Duke's season-high 48 rebounds, nearly outrebounding Maryland by themselves. Miles set a career high with 22 boards which is the second highest single-game total in the NCAA this season, the ninth most rebounds in Duke history and the most in the Coach K era. It was the 28th time in Duke's 106-year history that a player grabbed 20 rebounds in a game.
• Both of the Plumlees recorded a double-double in the same game for the first time in their three seasons together at Duke. They combined for 29 points and 32 rebounds.
• The Blue Devils dominated the offensive glass and scored a season-high matching 21 second-chance points on a season-high 21 offensive rebounds. The 21 offensive boards were Duke's most in an ACC game since Feb. 21, 2010 against Virginia Tech.
• The Blue Devils held the ACC's leading scorer, Terrell Stoglin, to just 13 points, which was nine points lower than his season average. Stoglin shot just 4-of-16 (.250) from the field and 0-of-6 from the three-point line. It was the second lowest point total of the season for Stoglin, who scored six points against Alabama on Nov. 17.
• Duke held Maryland to 1-of-14 shooting from the three-point line. The Blue Devils have held their last two opponents to one three-pointer apiece and five teams to two three-pointers or less. ACC opponents are shooting just .271 against Duke from three-point range which is the ACC's lowest percentage in conference play.
Player Notes:
Seth Curry
• Scored in double figures for the fourth straight game and the 16th time this season.
• Hit a three-pointer in both halves, giving him at least one trey in eight of his last nine halves.
• Knocked down three three-pointers, giving him at least three treys in three straight games. Curry went 4-of-7 from three-point range against Miami, 4-of-8 against North Carolina and 3-of-6 today. During that streak, he is averaging 18.7 points per game during that run while shooting .524 (11-of-21) from three-point range.
Andre Dawkins
• Scored his 700th career point. Dawkins is Duke's active leader in that category.

Miles Plumlee
• Became the first Duke player since Elton Brand on Nov. 27, 1998 to grab 20 rebounds in a game. The 22 rebounds tie for the ninth most in school history and rank as the highest single-game total since Randy Denton has 25 on Dec. 29, 1970.
