[Applause] we’re ready for the opening tip Cherokee Parks bats it to Bobby Hurley who saves it run away from Cameron Straight Man by Maryland M Clinton on Hurley Chris Collins to Parks thought about it pulled it back now they go inside to Antonio Lang and that’s a travel good feed by Thomas hildo put it on the floor low so the defender couldn’t handle it key thing in in watching this Duke Team without Grant Hill is how other guys have stepped up and Tony Lang is certainly one of those x-ray hit from the corner and Parks the rebound hasn’t that been interesting phly not only with Grant out but even when Hurley was out last year as he has the ball Stripped Away Bristol had it out of bounds how the other guys have picked up the pace well if you know they’re coming back it really for a team like Duke that knows it’s going to be in the NCA tournament to have a team that’s going to be very well rested particularly in the case of Grant Hill when he does come back the key is as a coach you got to know they are coming back to play Chris cins too long and hit the rebound kind of surprising for him he’s deadly on that shot from that range mclinton who’s been a Duke killer here in the past few years he misses that shot slow starts for both sides parks a Earle saves it at Mid Court Thomas Hill draws the foul XE hip did a good job with his defense that time getting back but then once he got back in position he never got in position to stop Thomas Hill in the drive as we mentioned the stage is set for Bobby Hurley tonight to pass NC State’s Chris corani on the NCAA alltime assist y both men the only two over a thousand as you see and of course the one stat in addition to the assists that you glance at when you see about Hurley and you just go oh my goodness is the number of Victories he has guided Duke to at that point guard position well the other thing I think is really interesting about his assist totals in the last three games he’s gone 15 16 15 prior to that time the all-time record at Duke was 14 so in the last three games he’s basically beaten what stood for all these many years the record and uh they did it three games in a row Parks finally gives a scoreboard company and of course there is a problem for Maryland they just do not get up on the boards well they had a they have a problem with size they also have a problem with being able to get up off the ground mclinton at the line that’s a violation ball goes over to Duke and we all talk about the statistics that Bobby hle has with his assists and with his point totals but really one of the things that he has maybe as good at as anybody that’s played in the league at the point guard is his defensive ability he is a great defender against the ball turnover Maryland coming ahead nice great bounce pass from MCL to hip and L got back to block it but he also got a piece of the arm a hip has had an outstanding freshman season at Maryland very solid but against Duke in the first game this year he had but two points is low for the season he got all ball here boy I’ll tell you what I think that was a great block a great block and Lang has reason to be somewhat upset xri missing the foul shot 73% foul shot shooter in League competition this year so both teams a little shaky here in the first couple of minutes but Bob’s only been to the free throw line Now 46 times on the year meaning that he’s just just not actively go into the basket something they’ll have to do to improve his game early penetrates misses burns the rebound Marill tried to push it ahead mclinton feeds Chris K when he lays it in to tie the game you know it’s not like MC Clinton isn’t doing a good job assist wise too he’s sitting right in behind Hurley become a very solid point guard another one of those guys basically not recruited as a major player has developed into one Curley dishes to Collins that’s two for Collins and he’s missed and Lang is there he’s one of the young men you talked about bill has really stepped up his game offensively and again you can see Maryland’s problems on the defensive boards good back door cut hip controls it feeds Burns but Parks is there gets around him and puts it in nice nice job by Burns not to walk on that play he just extended himself out side at four [Applause] Thomas Hill some contact rebound brist you know Maryland has had a number of Fast Break opportunities so far and now they’re at converting count the bucket for hip and the foul after the release of the basketball x-ray now with two personal kind of unusual to see Duke being uh broke Against Time After Time you know there’ve been three on two situations two-on-one situation so far in the game it’s very unlike Duke with that basket Maryland takes a two-point lead du’s trying to set a high screen get Hurley free create the switch Hurley fakes fires misses off balance here it comes again Maryland really getting out running on the break getting the numbers BR inside it goes to Kerwin Parks blocks it the bounce to Collins [Applause] reverse great anticipation by Bobby Hurley teaming up with Collins a guy he’s really not used to handling with on the break laid that pass right in there beautifully and his first assist of the night mclinton weaves his way inside just Powers up Parks takes it away another break up coming up here’s hury on the dish to to Hill and a foul and this one will be on burns one of the things Bobby Hurley has done and he did not do it that well consistently as a freshman and halfway through his sophomore year and that is distribute the ball consistently on the break now he seems to have complete control and command of where everybody else is on the floor and very seldom finds himself where he doesn’t convert a good play when he has the ball in his hands on the fast break experience has been a great teacher for Bobby H well one of the you know the great plays and we saw in the opening Bob was that one where he’s driving to the basket and flip that ball back around the defender to Thomas Hill coming in there uh it’s a kind of situation where a guy has to remember where everybody is on the floor and anticipate the movement SAS Hill very quietly has been a third Team all ACC the last two years getting the recognition he really deserves here in his senior season his first point of the game 67% shooter sageing right up around 19 at game with gr Hill out of there so that’s what you want from a ball player that can step up when when need be whether it be over a stretch of games or whether it be in a given game coming off a 22-point day against UCLA here last Sunday good switch out front mclinton big trouble and Duke’s got the ball hurly doing his Marcus hes imitation comes out of there with it and ahead it comes Parks rips it for away from pal oh nice well the biggest problem for parks on that play was Collins Bobby Hurley was really trying to pass that ball to Parks realizing he could get it up around the rim oh look at that concentration yeah kept it alive and Marilyn relaxed here a little bit as hurle looked like he was going in the other direction and then he attacked you can see right there is Collins tried to make the interception Wayne bruss to the foul Hurley now with two assists and parks at the line got it he he’s got five we got a Timeout on the floor 1545 to play in the first half Duke now leading we’ll be back after a word from our good friends of bura two tonight five total gives him the alltime NCAA record the early shooting so far in the game and here comes Mar Johnny rhods in the game for the first time tonight so Gary Williams sat him down toward the little bit of Reawakening but now has him in the line line up of course makes Maryland much more effective leading freshman score in the ACC this year in fact hean hip for numbers one and two and freshman scoring in the lead good pass hip and Parks knocks it right back got it again Duke is running Hurley what a pass and a foul on Marilyn well there a lot of ways to deliver the ball that time Bobby earlyy delivered it right between his legs again recognizing and understanding where everybody is on the floor now here’s where hip with age will get stronger and be able to finish off some of these plays but no sense putting it up to Parks right in his face we’ll see this he knew where Collins was put it right down here comes Lang behind him he has Collins on his right he had Lang on his left he had Thomas Hill as a trailer could have told you we’re all four were even though he was looking straight ahead Evers Burns draws the personal foul and it’s his second they’re going to call it a shooting foul so Antonio L will go to the line no Hurley Hurley really would have his five assists if they weren’t for the fouls on the other end of the break here’s Grant Hill and you see that he is in uniform but will not play tonight some question as to whether he’ll go at all on Sunday against the tar hilles well the main thing will be a conditioning situation too Bob you know it’s one thing if a guy’s out with a bad hand at least he can run in the case of Grant’s injury you have a hard time staying in real good shape so he’ll have to get back to play in shape and when you take in consideration the NCA tournament the way it is Duke knowing they’re probably not going to have a chance to be a number one seed uh it may be the kind of thing where Mike sheski will just gradually bring him back to have him in good shape come the second week in March I thought Mike made an interesting point when he was talking about hills absence says you know we it’s okay to be out for a few games we don’t want him to be out too long because the other guys then become a unit and it’s a little tougher to work a guy even as talented as Grant Hill back in without some disruption at a time of the year when you’re playing your most important games I would agree with that but in this particular case he’s only talking about changing one starter the key thing that Mike is going to get out of this however is an Antonio Lang stepping up to realize hey I’m being counted on now I can score 15 points in the game at Cherokee Park stepping up and saying you know what if they need me I can score 18 in the game it’s not a guy who was relegated to a certain role offensively and accepted that role the reason for the delay we have some blood on the floor that had to be disposed of properly now L shooting the foul shots and missing Duke has been terrific in shooting foul shots recently but tonight they’ve struggled Thomas Hills missed two L is now missed his first of two as a team shooting right at 73% and of course that traditional Duke statistic that jumps out at you there they have made 91 more free throws this year than their opponents have even shot a 12-6 Advantage for Duke second steal by Hurley here they come with Lang nice count the basket and a blocking foul on [Applause] [Music] marily great finish by Antonio Lang we talked about a guy stepping [Music] up early knocked it first then Lang got it and look at he takes this thing from half court all the way down finishes it off with his left stand Antonio Lang in the Maryland game here last year turned out to be a Duke hero he followed a ler miss that gave Duke a two-point win over the Terin that was the biggest scare that Duke had at home all season and of course in that game M Clinton had 25 was 11 of 14 from the floor played a great game HIP after having a couple of shots rejected by Parks tried to feed kwin and threw it away I think everybody will remember there was one player on the floor that night that nland does not have this year the name Walt Williams yes so uh that’s quite a [Applause] difference the terapin have not won of this building since 1988 146 dke bading some pressure by maryn and hip got a hand on it to knock it away and M rainbows it in I really thought he had the lot that time to hit that basket ends at 8 nothing Duke run early would like a solid screen to get mclinton off his back a little bit deflected by rose out of bounds you know I think mclinton is bleeding it’s surprising there leaving him in the game he he’s got a little cut on his chin but he’s staying in the game that really surprises him maybe that red jersey unable to detect [Applause] it shot clock at 10 x-ray hip intercepts Outlets to mclinton and Maryland got to breakway roads with a dunk good strength by mclinton he caught that ball the guy was lesser strength would have had the ball knocked out of his hands like a good defensive back yep go for that interception and hang on to it like his dad he was obviously an outstanding football [Applause] Defender good offset by Collins doesn’t get it back Park oh what a rebound Thomas Hill carried it out of bounds was looking for a [Applause] foul didn’t hear the whistle and they stepped out of bounds the ball went to Maryland when Duke looks at the replay of that particular uh sequence Cherokee Parks could have dumped it back out to Collins who had offset after he threw the ball inside for an easy three-point attempt Duke took the hard shot kerwin’s hook nope Clark got a hand on it it’s hip up and off and Merck me Burns a held ball possession arrow favors Maryland Thomas Hill still hollering at the official about the fouling on the inside see he’s got blood on his lip and he’s still in the game I don’t understand this now the throw into the back court Burns runs it down that’s a legal play yeah you’re right bill that was clear on that last shot about M yeah I mean if they’re woring about wiping up the floor they got a player out there and if you’re going to if you’re going to call it by the rules he’s got to come out of the game you can see him his hand to his lip exactly it’s kind of amazing and now he’s wiping it on his uniform I mean the referees are not doing the job in administering this game Curley had the last foul rhs misses clock rebounds oh lost the oh there’s one that he’d like to have back Lang rolls it in slipped out of Bobby Hurley’s hands and almost ended up with an assist well when you have over a thousand you get them any way you can well I’m sure he’s had some of he worked out a lot hard hey and he has a block shot to add to his repertoire there’s Thomas H for one count it what we’re seeing now is that Duke when you figure Grand Hill will come back they are really developing three outstanding finishers on that break you got Lang a finisher Thomas Hill a finisher and gr Hill a finisher so Earley will have any one of three guys to go to on the break Earley now with three assists and Thomas Hill the beneficiary looking for his fifth point of the game interesting bill as you know he was a post player in high school and then moved to the guard spot in college and is really developed into quite a good shoot make going up strong now it’s going to go to Duke on the alternating possession nice job by Burns holding his ground keeping his hands on the ball rather than chopping down with a foul had a big game 27 points 13 rebounds against Clemson at Burns you look at his stats he he’s had a fine year this year Thomas Hill for three seven for Thomas Duke by 11 back door cutting x-ray hip fouled by AR me X-ray has made a couple of really nice back door cuts and the ball has been in his hand now there’s a situation where he tried to finish off by going over the top of Meek and again as I said as he matures gets a little stronger those plays Will Not only put him on the foul line he’ll be going for three-point plays every time I see this kid I can’t help but think of the facial resemblance Ralph Sams wh is now 0 for three at the line and you look at him from a distance is as Slender as he is Parker bre and de Bo missed for been long on all of them too 2110 Clark off the screen suck by L now Clark had scored in double figures two and games in a row 10 and 15 then he was didn’t score at all against UCLA and he’s another player that stepped up pretty well with the exception of that one game obviously with gr Hill out of there mclinton his second bucket Harley got that assist on the CLK bucket so he’s got four Thomas Hill driving leaves it short gets it back no that one Kerwin takes it away nice job by mclinton creating a passing Lane there here goes Roads Johnny quickly to the bucket scores his second pass 2314 dke you get a feeling that maybe the DU players are cognizant of the fact of what Hurley’s doing assist wise cuz they’ve kind of gotten out of their offense a little bit there’s the lob meek meek with a and there’s the record Bobby Hurley on that Fe to Eric me has become the alltime NCAA assist leader ladies and gentlemen number 1,39 from Bobby hury new NCAA career assist records congratulations M certainly records are made to be broken but when you take consider ation the number of games that Bobby Hurley has played and the fact that a guy now that’s of the stature to have this many assists with the opportunity to go early in the draft and also the lack of injuries throughout his career with the exception of you know last year uh that’s going to be a record is going to be pretty tough to go after plus the fact Billy he has played in 18 NCA tournament games exactly and more to come yep and already holds the NCA record for assists in the in a tournament career so Eric trying to polish off the three-point play he’s got he’s got 129 assists and 17 NCA turn the games actually 18 NCA turnning the games bur rejected by car good Cherokee has become quite a rejector here in the first half 254 Duke on top of Maryland and will’ll return after this from pepson this and it says it’s a pass that leads to directly to a basket you look up the definition of Bobby Hurley it’s a man who leads you directly to a championship well how about the trivia question uh 10 years from now who was the man that made the shot on Bob Bobby Hurley’s alltime record-breaking assists you say let’s see who was on that team gr Hill Thomas Hill Antonio Lang Cherokee Parks no Clemson wins again North Carolina wins tonight Virginia back on track with a non-com win over the College of Charleston team that knocked off Georgia Tech earlier this season they went for the Tar Heels they’re first as the new number one team in the country and that has been a tough job for all number ones this year is to win that game after they were elevated to that position Duke comes out playing a little [Applause] Zone two3 matchup Parks down in the middle Hardy Clark and near steel we were talking earlier about Cheroke parks and what a first half he is having already four blocks for the chief here in the first half he had four at Maryland and six earlier this year against Virginia and a foul inside this one will be on Maryland but I think it’s on Johnny Rose you know Duke is not a great shot blocking team I mean they have 100 coming in the game they had 148 as a team but Maryland and we talked about being able to get up on the boards as a team this year and it’s always a pretty good indicator has only blocked 78 shots so you know that that’s the indicator that they just aren’t getting up there around that Rim actually hip was the man who had the foul his third rather than road so he’s out of the game and Simkins is back in you know you have a situation here if you’re Maryland they have been a team of late game of Sparks they have both positive and negative now right now at the 10-minute Mark in a situation where they’re down double figures they have to be real careful the next couple of minutes Duke doesn’t get one of those 10 runs and this game is over so I’m sure that Gary’s sitting on that sideline wanting to say let’s stay with the offense keep control the game Tempo wise because with this crowd been relatively silent waiting on the hly story to unfold it could be real problems for the Duke lead is 12 DNE simpkin who has spent his freshman year as they understudy to mclinton at the point now watch this defense by Duke a matchup Zone 5sec violation and it’s causing a lot of problems for Maryland now they’ve got to get some movement in their offense right now they’re standing still instead of sending Cutters through to make Duke get out of that [Applause] position L Meek again had it poked out of his hands by mclinton Hurley for three three for yeah if if I’m Gary Williams I got to think real seriously about getting a timeout now and changing the offense because they are really confused by what what Duke’s doing to him here blue Devil’s biggest lead tonight [Applause] 2914 rhs underneath up and in it’s a score by number and did not start the ball game tonight [Music] [Applause] Furley tried to feed Parks had it kicked by Kerwin pretty nice job by Kerwin to get back into passing that time because jeree Parks broken right down the center T Hill and line come for Clark and meek at the 923 Mark now with the first teamers back it’ll be interesting to see if Duke doesn’t change and go back to their man tough manto man Hurley right underneath to Thomas Hill stripped but mclinton picks up the personal Kevin came into this building last year and had just a whale of a game 25 points and 11 assists you know something interesting talking about that cut on Kevin’s lip now there’s a there’s a a cut that I don’t know if you can stop I it’s not like you can put a Band-Aid on it and the rule is that a player cannot come back in with an open wound until it is closed up and uh and sto bleeding I don’t know what you do if a guy’s cut on the lip we’ll have to ask our director Ken Dennis does all the boxing what that stuff is the boxers put on quickly stop those wounds eight points for Thomas Hill well for those who watched vny ponana fight last night there was nothing they could put on the eye of his opponent because it closed all up it wasn’t a matter of blood nine points for Thomas Hill 31162 Burns poked away and a foul on Thomas Hood Bo that was called from left field no Thomas Hill Bobby dado 11 Burns has not been able to get UNT track down low yet tonight Maryland certainly Duke does stay with that zone [Applause] situation on for parks and burns ties him up Maryland keeps the [Applause] ball 903 left first half Duke 31 Maryland [Applause] 16 right underneath the m ding ahead to Hur there’s that jump stop of Thomas Hill done get by mclinton again with a good strong hands and Maryland kind of coming waves again lost it out of bounds Bo another opportunity for Maryland on a three-on-one that time they did they had the numbers and and mclinton is trying to take it all the way instead of maybe stopping the F line let hurly play him but then let the Cutters go ahead and get an easy [Applause] [Music] layup early out of bounds dke ball with 33 seconds on the shot clock cley tried to use his body to get Simpkins on his hip and and in trying to get so much body pressure on him I think when Simkins pulled away it just knocked Bobby H to the floor the shooting so far Duke at an even 50 Maryland chugging along at 36% the Terin in League Play this year Billy shooting just 41% course shot very poorly in the second half in their first game only 40% on the four game here’s another situation two on one break you got to convert these and Johnny rhods puts it in nice catch and then the nice shot another two freshman that time Simpkins with a ball handling ability two-on one was able to convert 3118 and Simpkins picks up early at midc court whistle stops play and we’ve got a foul and Blakeley on a solid screen yeah so Blake picks up his first ACC action coming up this weekend on Saturday our first double header game comes your way from Winston Salem when the deacons play host to NC State then from Charlottesville the Cavaliers and the Maryland terens at 400 p.m. final weekend of the regular season this season has flown by can’t believe the tournament is next week we got a foul this one’s on Thomas Hill you know basically this game has never had a pace to it there have been a lot of calls by officials a lot of jump ball type situations nobody able to get a nice run going time out on the floor we’ll be back after a word from our good friends at budweis there’s Grant Hill sitting at the Duke bench Duke in control here and this is what what Grant’s numbers look like for the season but with him out of the lineup Billy the rest of the cast has really picked it up they really have and you can see at Cherokee Parks up six points only lying up almost seven points of course Collins coming off the bench all of the fellas goinging in doing a good job Maryland with the ball trailing 3118 I think what we see Mike sheski doing is experimenting some with this defense figuring that somewhere in the NCA tournament he can go to something a little bit different than that pressure manto man what a great steal by Lang that t working against burns the low post now Parks trying to do it offensively and a foul on two no Pace to this game no I mean just a lot of fouls nobody can get a run going all the emotion was front loaded yeah you had the uh the big ceremony with the seniors and then the early countdown to the assist record and although Duke has built a fairly nice lead here you’re right it’s been a very disjointed hand well yeah look at the situation here we have uh 10 team fouls on Maryland seven on Duke you’ve got 730 to go in the first half I mean very unusual to be in that situation both teams in foul trouble and nobody can hit a free throw both teams have really struggled Burns missing the front end of o one and one but Maryland maintains possession see Mar not getting any Cutters to figure out just exactly what is Duke doing to him I mean they’re set up as if they’re playing zone now they’re showing manto man now blocking foul on Collins 18 foul on D so give Kevin mclinton the bucket and he’ll shoot a foul [Applause] shot well I think that was a no call I mean the shot was made nobody gained an [Applause] advantage cin has picked up five assists tonight and he’s now 10 away from number three in the alltime Maryland list held currently by Dutch Morley seven point and in that game last year as I mentioned he had 25 points he also had 11 assists so I think he likes his court he’s played well against Duke consistently some tremendous numbers against the Duke defense the last four games is 18 19 25 and 17 not only a great back door cut but a super look by Antonio Lang he’s having a good first half had a couple of steals couple of solid rebounds well that was a pretty play yep 33212 now straight Duke but Marty Clark lost his man knocked Away by Parks rhs gets it back nice mclinton uping in nice pass by Road Bo road is quick in every respect you know he’s got quick hands he’s thinking quick out there tonight and obviously the quick [Applause] feet Lang and the foul this one on burns and I think that’ll be number three see what’s happening is the fact that although Duke is not converting the reason they’re not converting is Maryland’s fallen on everything that’s down in close that’s going to count up here shortly no already Billy hip and burns on the bench with three fouls p i mean something has to give if you’re going to commit that many files that could in the game two shots Ling one for three at the line Burns is fouled out of six games this year which is a high total for a guy you’d like to have on the court a lot we talked about at Lang picking up his game offensively you see what he’s done tonight 11 at state in the Florida state wi last Wednesday 14 against the Bruins on Sunday L who’s got eight tonight and the other thing you can see is just exuding confidence on the floor right now it’s not like I’m I’m the one guy filling in a role I mean he’s out there playing hey I’m a legitimate starter that’s got a job to [Applause] do put’s got some size on hurle but you haven’t seen him post him up yet Simpkins there it is nice play Beautiful feed Hurley with a foul great job by Simkins to realize what was happening mclinton wanted to go down inside with Hurley the first time I’ve seen him really Tak him low Bobby Hurley is thinking well how can I go ahead and and disrupt the play else now watch Hurley lose sight of his man you see where Hurley is and look at where mclinton is Bobby Hurley never anticipated that his man would post him down inside and he was really out of position [Applause] there we talked about the foul shooting but that doesn’t affect Mr mclinton he leads the conference at 86% he’s two for two tonight you know what I like about him as a sophomore he shot 68% as a junior 78% and this year 87% so he has really worked at every phase of his game and a kid who was more recruited as a football player than basketball coming out of high school right you would project him to be a starting guard in the ACC when he came at to the University of Maryland Dr it the same way tight end and football heavily [Applause] recruited bark down the lane nice dish but Parks is fou yeah they cannot finish anything off cuz every time they get around the basket they get fou freshman Mario Lucas with is first so Jer Parks will’ll shoot a couple Thomas Hills back in Chris Collins to the bench the other thing that that does Bobby keeps the crowd out of it now that normally would have been a dunk by Parks a crowd gets all fired up to get into the game these fouls have really kept the crowd from having any momentum which is a big factor here in this uh gymnasium six points for the [Applause] talking about parks and his block shots earlier tonight only Mike jinsky has ever had more than Parks 57 blocks in a single season so he’s really coming on as a shot blocker and a shot changer in the middle 3624 [Applause] D oh s by Marty Clark re turn plays it in and a blocking foul count the bucket CLK a little slow getting up on that one Clark likes to take it you know if you’re scouting Duke Clark is the kind of guy once he turns the corner he very selom gives it back so you got to play him to shoot as opposed to pass on a break boy Simpkins got it right in the jaw too there’s the steel he used that inside hand great defensive technique [Applause] in officials mind Simkins just didn’t get there in time 12 fouls now on Maryland here in the half Clark bidding for his seventh Point Lang I thought there was another foul in there not called I did too and we have another jump ball situation the arrow gives it to dke I’m many this got to be some a record for a half it’s got to be about the sixth or seventh though jump ball situation so between the number of fouls 10 on Maryland so far and nine on Duke Second Chance points Duke by two touchdowns good rebound by Lucas [Applause] 38-24 blue doubles good quickness just so mclinton uses the glass and puts it in Kevin with a dozen first half points and of course falling to the ground you can see that the sweat all over the floor referee having to stop the game and that that can be a dangerous situation here and the two ball boys working quickly to mop it up 430 to play in the first half [Applause] simpin doing a fine job staying out in front of hle Clark didn’t have it in his hand rhs gets it ahead Simkins penetrates par knocks it over to Hurley his fifth block shot of the half Thomas hook [Applause] Lucas roads behind the [Applause] line mclinton Thomas Hill soft move thas and double figures Hurley may be going after that 16 assists again tonight I mean he just had all kinds of guys open if they hadn’t been fouled on the other end he’d be over double figures already six officially for [Applause] Hurley Lucas put another block CLK the rebound Curley spots up Nails it second three of the night that’s what makes it tough to defend when a guy can pull up and hit a three as well as dish off and the Maryland terens are going to take a timeout Duke starting to pull away 4326 we’ll be back in the lane the first thing you’ve got to do playing against the Hurley is to go ahead and make sure you’ve got a man on him but there was a case where Thomas Hill filled the lane to his right nobody on him defensively by Maryland didn’t stop the band with the ball and didn’t pick up anybody in the lanes Duke is outscored Maryland 10 to3 in the last 3117 to take this big lead you see what the numbers that have been put up so far show Duke 48% they’re R right around 50 all game well something deceiving there in the fact that there would have been a lot of layups made that would have increased that shooting percentage but there was fouls committed on the layups CN couple of bumps in the bucket first with four the Sor from West Palm Beach 4328 blak oh up and in made the good fake and scored and what happened there Bob nobody had picked up Kenny on the Maryland defense and he just snuck in the game now Duke goes back to that matchup Zone again see if Maryland will send through some cutters threw Lucas’s hands out of bounds certainly was catchable number five dway hey reminder friends the announcers for this game are selected and compensated by Raycom and Jefferson pilot Sports on the

Simpkins Play brone In and Out flying ahead the Hurley over the shoulder jump shot you’ve seen that play before exactly I mean when Hurley crosses half court if there’s not somebody behind you you better go guard him first cuz he’s going to make a play a 21o Duke Lee that’s a walk they’re going to call the foul I know what they’re going to [Applause] call but he walked before he ever was fou second foul on line we have 20 fouls have been called in this first half 10 on Duke 10 on Maryland so you’re looking for Equity you’ve got it you’re looking for a long boring first half you got that too beo for to the line goes Kevin mclinton oh he had a tough day clumps it on Saturday one two for 18 from the field coming back in a rare Miss at the foul line a game that was just crying for some Rhythm you know he’s number four all all time assist man at the Maryland now it’s Keith Gatlin number one up there which most bets a kind of a trivia question you’d be thinking the John Lucas Clark F oh nice play beautiful Eric M with a l there me it’s hit the eye he’s got his hand out and Kerwin thought that he was just trying to showb a little bit slapped his hand away me couldn’t even see that was a great pass good finish Simpkins with the foul at the line for the Eric side Eric with five first half points three Maryland players Billy have three fouls now Simpkins hip and burns this may be a war of attrition tapped out to Blakey by Clark Clark’s having a good first half scoring well driving the ball tough to the basket and getting it on the boards nice pass another a nice look at these fouls it’s just it’s incredible and nobody even maybe making a decent attempt to go up there and block the shot they just chopping people maybe they think that the ACC has reinstituted the Big East old six foul rule or something I mean and watch watch this play har he’s got a shot inside look look at they just chopping people that could have been called by neither player so me will shoot a pair we talked about Clark’s first half well Eric M Has Come Off the Bench to make a solid contribution too 24 fouls have been called here in the hands [Applause] Maryland is put John Walsh is sophomore into the ball game and this one gets the high bouns in the drop 5329 Marland has given up a ton of points here in this first half so M Clinton looking to dribble his way in there and he’s being played manto man out front against the ball but a basic Zone in behind him he needs to pass and cut the 10th Maryland turnover 45 seconds to [Applause] play smart play by Kenny blon no sense trying to drive it in there when nothing was available they want to get that last shot or something close to it now with Hurley out of the game be interesting to see who’s the guy they put up front Duke likes to go to that 14 and Marty Clark lost it to of bounds and and that’s what happens when Bobby Hurley is not in the game in these kind of situations he’s the master of taking the ball down for that final shot and I I was really interested to see what Duke would do without him out there 6 5 4 3 2 Clinton short with it Nick gets it ahead plenty of time and fl’s going to go all the way to the bucket blocked by rhs and that’ll be the [Applause] half like he thought he had a snowber but Johnny rhods caught up with that play very quickly 5329 Duke leads Maryland here as we get second half of play Bob wrath but Billy Packer with you and Billy as far as Maryland is concerned you got to think that they’ve got to get something going from the perimeter all of mcclinton’s points have come on his drives to the basket well they were getting an excellent situation with three on two breaks two-on-one breaks they weren’t converting very well but they were getting out I think another thing that they have to do when you look that they haven’t done much on their perimeter is the fact that ever Burns only has two shots now here’s a guy that’s their leading score guy averaging right up around 20 points a game only gets two shots in the first half he has got to come up big get the ball down low some of course he and hip and Simpkins to some extent saddle with those foul difficulties Burns spent a lot of time on the bench he starts the second half with three personals I said he’s got to get something started down low and there he is 20t from the 25 ft from the rim Maryland turnover Thomas Hill misses the shot follows it nicely hey here we go another hell ball jump ball between the fouls and the jump ball situations today new record well you know you we talk about a lot of things in regard to scouting Thomas Hill is a guy when he comes down from his jump shot is going to follow his shot you notice nobody put the block out on him some guys are not going to and you maybe can go ahead and relax a little bit but in his particular case he is going to foul every shot Lang Scoops it up and in ballet style by Antonio Lang really playing with confidence now great time of year to play with confidence too tournament time just around the corner he makes the move yep no walk nice play Evers Burns Billy picks up his fourth foul Ling just two for five for the foul line in the first half need 11 points tonight he’s been a double figures now in four straight games [Applause] rhs Mars The Rebound oh and big numbers for Duke as they blow it ahead Collins to [Applause] Hurley now Maryland is running four on two hit to the bucket second baset bre hit [Applause] C’s dropped it on of bounds and you know what happened to Chris on that particular play he was getting ready to take the shot he had his eye on the rim before he caught the ball it just uh you know he’s a guy that does have good hands but you got to catch it before you can shoot it Mo by 25 Rose I mentioned Tom ail road is very much like that he’s going to follow his shot you better put a body on it [Applause] Gary Williams it’s been a long night on the terit bench for Gary he’s going to take burns out with those four fouls a game like this down you might as well go ahead let him have the Run he sure hasn’t been very effective tonight just two points that was a walk on mclinton and it wasn’t called cins oh look at the back pass it comes to the jamming Antonio line now we talk Bob about him knowing where everybody is on the floor and Hurley certainly knew what was coming in behind him and a great lead pass to get it started by Chris Collins too 1826 to play we’ll be back after award from our good friends at budweis Gary Williams just trying to I think Billy more than anything else just get his team together and trying to get them to play well this one has got so out of hand well look at how much matchup Zone Duke has played tonight you know they they went into it Midway through the first half and they’ve shown it a lot here in this game just what Duke needs another defensive weapon a nice three-pointer by Mario luas the Freshman on the Memphis be waiting for something to happen inside then the inside band goes out on the perimeter poked away and Parks oh it went off of mclinton going to beat Duke ball I don’t think so now Bob Donado he’s calling it white ball I even Parks can’t believe that I think Parks realized he touched it but Clinton saying you got to be [Applause] kidding now it is going to go to well he keeps saying white but uh see Cherokee Parks hit the ball without question it ended up right maybe he was saying right not [Applause] white we get a foul on Antonio L on Thomas [Applause] Hill Billy with what Hurley has done not only tonight in breaking the record but what he’s done in his career put his numbers up against some of the Premier point guards of the past John Lucas and Phil Ford your thoughts on this threeson well you like to have them all at the back court at the same time the thing that’s kind of really interesting out of that group is that Ford and Lucas were both three-time First Team all ACCC players Bobby Hurley has never made all ACC first team is that hard to believe incredible yep nice dish mlon 22 k m Kevin now with 15 how about this Marilyn showing a press this one two11 this was a part of Gary’s long tradition but with the clubes hat this year without that quickness particularly in the front Court it is something he hadn’t been able to do Maryland has scored the last seven but they still Trail by 20 Duke got 13 big points in the first half off the bench from Clark and meek in a few minutes you’re going to see them both back in here if they don’t start scoring Collins for three great p shooter saw one story Billy where he was talking about growing up course is Dad coaching the Bulls and he said I grow up shooting NBA 3es so the range is uh much in his favor in his basketball maturation he’s been shooting from La Reigns for a long time early wants to try one well that’s three of those that he’s great to stop and take a three and he hasn’t had anybody guard him on any one of the three just like that dude goes up 6438 M now mclinton starting to realize what that defense looks like you know another thing Bob that tonight they honored the two seniors they talked about the Duke senior class got to remember there was one other guy in that class who’s not playing badly this year in college basketball Billy mcaffrey he would have been with that group tonight gave up obviously another opportunity to be on the national championship last last year where he sat out at Vandy but having a great year with that club’s got him up in the top [Applause] 10 there’s that match up again see Curley forces the dribbler then gets out of the way burns the bucket will count and that’ll be a foul on Meek the basket counts Meek fouls on the rebound obviously noted one and one so they’ll get the ball out of bounds 1551 to play M Clinton’s really turned into quite an Iron Man making his 75th straight start for Maryland Strip by Hill and ahead to Hurley oh boy he went down hard travel on Bobby his speed went out through Underneath Him boy how proud they must be [Music] tonight 6846 [Applause] six cat Now by Bobby Hurley back out to BL shot clock is a 25 so the Blue Devils have plenty of time everybody gets to touch the [Applause] ball see that time when Lang drove at meek meek had to get out of the way he just stood there and allowed in in effect one Defender to guard two people Hur gets open short Marty Clark over to Lang and the foul on Kerwin pretty good catch by Marty Clark as the ball was thrown right in his anle Marland number 25 Chris Kerwin his fourth personal foul four fouls now on along with just if you’re thinking the alltime record for the most fouls by one team in an ACC game is 40 so we got to go got a way to go it only seems like 40 well the only thing I can say is uh hopefully we weren’t broadcast in that one I think bones had that game yeah we we’ve never this game just has never had a pace to it there’s a foul trouble and that’s that list is getting longer by the minute and mclinton takes it away Clinton trying to go where there was no place to go but draws the foul here reminder friend stay tuned for the players of the game award brought to you by nation’s back you know that was close to being a technical Hurley had the ball in his hands but Clinton and you could question whether the ball was over the line or not but I think Hurley still had the ball in his hands when mclinton in effect block you know if you reach on over the line smack that ball to for fou Eric make to the bench with four fouls PS his back not reaching here because you know I mean these these officials have found a lot to call soir the whist maybe maybe we can try one right 6846 1027 left great inbounds pass to rhs and we’ve got a blocking fou ACC Tournament of course is coming up very soon March the 12th just a week from tomorrow our coverage begins at noon on Friday and that of course will have a dynamite game right off the bat Billy because that’s four against five and the way the the matchups are coming down that’s going to be a tough tight match up no matter which way it falls well it certainly looks like we’ll have to wait until Sunday afternoon to see uh who gets paired up but basically when you when you look at that Log Jam at the three the 36 game in the 4 five game it could be any combination of guys in all in any case no matter how you divide it up I mean those are going to be tremendous contest very competitive situation North Carolina has the number one spot in the top seat all wrapped up as jokee Parks dunks one Carolina if you missed it one big tonight over white forest in Chapel Hill and cl Thomson beat NC State at little jump Burns underneath and mclinton lays it home byin 17 for Kevin theight 7049 the Press doesn’t bother Duke we go right over the top good passing Chief oh my and the big guy is starting to do a lot of solid things in there tonight He has been a man among boys on the on the boards excellent Outlet passing on parks’s part and here he makes a tough catch holds his ground and puts up a shot off balance but hits it you know you’re going to get hit and Parks has the presence of M to get it up on the glass at a decent scoring position and the last six games he’s averaging 16.7 points 8.3 Point rebounds 1.7 blocks a game and that’s solid production from anybody those are all conference type numbers Burns steps it in getting a little bit used now to that zone defense 7251 the parks Hurley all the way now Burns just wouldn’t give up that opportunity to go J charging at Hurley so Hurley would go ahead and uh and throw the L see they’re starting to go right through the Zone not the way I’m sure Mike jeski wants it played you still have to even if you’re going to be in a matchup Zone new 74 Maryland 53 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] M Clinton telling hery try to drive by me poked Away by mclinton but last Touch by Rose early asking for a foul call doesn’t get it and M Clinton right in his face talking to him yeah laughing at him [Applause] 7453 and so Hurley oh disches inside Clark just couldn’t get his hands on it oh loose ball picked up by Clark he falls down four down a nice pass to the official he can’t convert mclinton to Rose by number 15 Off the Bench with 13 well under 20 for the first time in a while how about a three how about it how about four of them 16 overall points for Hurley 7755 he’s really made excellent judgments tonight pulling up and taking those threes and it looks like he’s getting some lift back in his legs to make them you know his overall percentage B is not that great but Hurley is still the fourth most accurate three-point shooter in league history will be back as there’s a t on the floor after this word from our good friends at Budweiser to work and you can see that Johnny rhods is coming behind him anticipating the shot curly realizing coming right behind as Antonio Lang that was a good hit ahead that time as well Bobby Hurley lays it right back Johnny RH nothing he can do about that at all impressive 7755 blue doubles Walsh will take it Miss it oh no foul and burns gets the [Applause] bucket Duke no problem with the Press parks with the jams hit with a foul Marilyn might get some turnovers with that press against some teams they won’t get it against this club they’re throwing right over the top of the press it’s not effective at all and there you can see Cherokee Parks finishing off the play and not even feeling hip coming over to try to stop the play line know we talked about trivia questions 10 years from now as to you know who converted Bobby Hurley’s record assist be Eric me question was just put up on the board it’s a great one who was the guy that was the recipient of the first assist Bobby Hurley ever made and it was kind of surprising we mentioned his name earlier tonight Billy mcaffrey to excellent contest roads no shot Off to the Races hurling that’s a rebound on the floor see in the pants vertical leap of [Applause] zero and they always talk about you know the key in rebounding is positioning there walls found himself flat in his back still got it and then hits a [Applause] three very aggressive coming off the Bench been impressive double team timeout Duke thas Hill in between the two Defenders Burns a timeout with 621 left Duke leads by 20 we’ll be right back second half by getting in the way LLY backs it up waits for his 6 15 to play now Duke is running their offense up a lot higher now they’re going to try to go ahead and sucker Merill into playing high and over playing and then cut somebody back down along the Baseline there it is Clark goes through but hip intercepts and mclinton kicks it out of bounds you know we we talked earlier about Gary Williams and of course this has been a struggling year for guy that does quite a competitor but you know Duke had five straight non-winning records in the ACC uh when when Mike got they got worse every year after the after the third year that Mike was here until things turned around with that Dawkins group so it can be done line early is able to see nice release and L 17 matching his season High hip Nails it nice turnaround Mo no hip does a nice job coming off screens down inside that’s the second time tonight he set a good screen and popped out Lang has been the primary ball handler against this little semi press dangerous pass and we’ve got a foul on Rose still 457 to play well you know there’s a case of course this Maryland team is struggling when you struggle there’s reasons for it one of the things it’s very evident tonight they’re doing an awful lot of reaching on defense you know they not moving their feet to get out in front of a man they’re not picking up on the break they’re just sticking their hands out committing fouls and that’s why you commit foul cuz your body is not in position to play [Applause] defense Mr Hurley to the line one and one shoots are one and one he 0 for two the line double figures and assists again we talked about the record breaker but boy the total number of assists that he’s had here in the last two weeks has been phenomenal 15 at State 16 against the seals 15 Sunday against UCLA and now 11 tonight you know the other thing about Duke in this stretch without gr Hill they only turned the ball over as example six times against Wake Forest they’ve had in the last six games 107 assists only 58 turnovers so as a team almost two to one and you remember a couple of weeks ago when we were here at Billy against Georgia Tech they had more turnovers than assists so really turning things around I mean if you can have a couple of guys on your team with a two to1 turnover ratio it’s great when you’ve got a whole team doing that you’re on fire Kevin mlon 22 with 21 points now tonight he’s also picked up nine assists as you see he continues that tremendous streak against Duke University phly he needs one more point now for 1,000 in his career Kevin MCL 8365 legman nice catch oh boy great Hands by I mean that ball was thrown like a rocket and Parks was able to get his hands on Cerwin puts it in B by Chris Cerwin lney too long for Hurley but he saves it bl’s got it Thomas Hill underneath the Hurley I thought H was going to try a hook shot down in low I did [Applause] do nice hesitation dribble that time by Thomas Hill he really froze mclinton we had mentioned the ACCC tournament that’s the way the games will Stack Up in terms of starting times and if the season ended today this is the way they’d go with waken Virginia they just played last weekend Clemson Florida State North Carolina against Maryland state and that game is all set now the turps and the Wolfpack and then Duke Georgia Tech an intriguing match of course that Duke Georgia Tech earlier in the year knocked Duke out of the number one position down in Atlanta a backup here played fairly well against Duke but of course picked up a loss you know we were toying with you know the great point guards uh in the conference history there’s only been one point guard uh that’s been the ACC Player of the Year twice and John Ro the the outstanding uh guard for what was then an ACC member South Carolina in Frank Maguire year so when you start thinking of guys you know the blue Pelos the Jackie murx back in the earlier days of the confence of great Charlie Davis is been ACH bunch of them Thomas hill with a great steel Collins fouled by simpons and the other thing in regard to the position the guard positions this year the ACC has had a lot of years uh where theyve had a lot of good C guard combinations obviously a lot of them have moved on into the NBA but I don’t know if the league has ever had as many good guards and guard combos from top to bottom as you have have this year and just uh really quality backourt players and that’s one of the reasons obviously the league is doing so well I mean you just don’t do it unless you’ve got guys back there that can run a team make a three guard somebody in the back court sets the stage and one of the reasons too Billy why ACC teams perennially do so well in postseason play much more emphasis on the guard plot no question I mean you know a Cory Al if you said the all League guards were Cory Alexander and Travis best you wouldn’t have to apologize for that at all you know yeah throw at Chris wh yeah exactly burn steps it for his 12th point he is moved now to 14th on the alltime Maryland scoring list passing Bob kesman 8869 Collins for three well that might as well have been a layup as he was just sitting over there in perfect position to shoot earley’s shoe comes off so he gets stopped and we’ve got a Timeout on the floor 306 time remaining 916 n Duke will return after this from the Atlantic Coast Conference and Thomas Hill and uh very shortly I’m sure Billy they’ll be getting their curtain calls I would imagine [Applause] [Music] so hit Thomas Hill aboard and they’re already starting to talk about Carolina which comes up Sunday number one team in the nation deservingly so playing some great defense against the two time Champions yep stop the deacons tonight team blessed with some pretty good guard play there as well m not to leave anybody out of it Florida state with sah Warden Sam Cass Sam Cassel I mean you thought it up there probably are 12 to 15 quality guards in this leag 4 Goins takes it got followed on the head no call mlon Rad nice try out of bounds to Maryland Well Road is quick number 44 Here Comes M and the chief goes out of the ball game now I’ll tell you something else we’re we’ve been in stats all night the senior classes that have preceded Bobby Hurley Senor they the nice three outside by Johnny but Greg cuc’s group won 117 games Danny F’s group won 117 games Christan lner’s group won 123 games tonight Curley’s group goes to 118 wins so that’s pretty impressive the last four classes huh and 56 and three at home they have a chance to to be the best as far as percentage is concerned too if they can move through the NCA tournament because they only have 23 losses to go with those 118 wins in their four years number 33 Ed burs coming in for Duke is Kenny Brown he’s coming in for early he will wait at the table Bobby will go to the line with a minute 30 to play [Applause] I saw when Bobby came walking in out of the rain coming into the gym tonight and he stopped at the door talked to some of the guys that have been at this at that player entrance door for many years and he said I really can’t believe I’m walking in here for the last time you know to play a [Applause] game and he’s had a solid one he’s going to sit down early comes up this and he finally shows some real emotion huh it got to him pass by BR brist with a bucket know you talk about highs and lows for a player I can remember of course in his sophomore year that final game that year against UNLV when they had to sit there and take a pounding but oh what it led to Y light me on the run under a minute Mike wants to have Thomas get his he wants to get him out of there if they don’t have a dead ball I’m sure Michael call a timeout Bristol gets the bucket I’m sure Mike would like to see a foul committed right here Collins for three Thomas wanted to call time out himself roads will take it and hit it by John 19 that Mike is going to call the timeout now so he can take Thomas out of there and he’s not going to get a chance to do it Bristol there it is and the foul is on Kenny Brown so Stan Brunson Brown will come in and Thomas Hill will take his b St BR replacing number 12 Thomas number 31 we’ve talked a lot tonight Billy about statistics and listen to what these new Blue Devils have done tonight Parks 16 points 12 rebounds five blocks Lang 17 points nine boords Hurley 19 points 12 assists and three Steals and Thomas Hill 13 points and six rebounds what a [Applause] [Music] game well you know for Hill and Hurley there’s one more game to play at a place that is very important in your career too play your final regular season game in Chapel Hill at the buzzer it’s all over so the Duke Blue doubles 95 and the Maryland Terin 79 the seniors win their finale at Cameron Indoor [Music] [Applause] Stadium tonight’s a
