Duke tops Maryland; MSU over Mich.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- DeMarcus Nelson scored 19 of his 27 points in the second half, Gerald Henderson added 23, and No. 4 Duke rallied to beat Maryland 93-84 Sunday night.

The Blue Devils (17-1, 5-0 ACC) had not trailed by more than six points in any game prior to falling behind 51-42 at halftime. But Duke fought back in front of a boisterous sellout crowd hopeful of seeing Maryland earn its sixth win in eight games against its hated rival.

James Gist scored 26 and Bambale Osby had 20 points and 15 rebounds, both career highs, for the Terrapins (12-8, 2-3).

Duke led by 2 before baskets by Henderson and Nelson ignited an 8-2 spurt that made it 83-75. A 3-pointer by Gist got Maryland to 84-81, but Nelson made a driving layup for a 5-point cushion with 61 seconds to go.

The Terrapins would get no closer than 4 points.
