2/13/10 - Regular Season Game #25 1st 2nd Total
(#8) Duke Blue Devils (21-4, 9-2) 40 37 77
Maryland Terrapins (16-7, 6-3) 24 32 56
Cameron Indoor Stadium - Durham, NC - CBS
Two days after the first round of Duke/UNC, the Maryland Terrapins visited Cameron with the top spot in the ACC on the line.
February 13th was also a huge day because Coach K led his Blue Devils in his 1000th career Duke game and the Hall of Famer was
celebrating his birthday. Over 100 former players and managers returned to campus to help celebrate the special occasions.
The Blue Devils came out of the gates quickly in this one, scoring 15 straight points during an early 25-6 run. Maryland closed
within 10 points midway through the second half, but Duke pulled away from there. Brian Zoubek had a career game, scoring 16
points, hauling in 17 boards and recording a pair of blocks in 22 minutes of action. Jon Scheyer was also outstanding with 22 points
(6-12 FG, 3-4 3pt) after scoring 24 in Chapel Hill. The victory left Duke alone in first place in the ACC.
After the game, Coach K was presented with a Duke No. 1000 jersey and spoke to the crowd with his players wearing the com-
memorative Coach K 1,000th game tee-shirts produced by Nike for the big day. All in all, it was a memorable weekend for Duke!
“Yeah what we talked about is…forget about the birthday, 1,000 games,
70 years of Cameron, all that. We’re playing Maryland. You have to play
for you, you have to own the game. I think my team is a great group of
kids, but to ask them to win because it is my birthday, I think that’s a
stretch. As Vasquez is trying to go by you or you go up for a rebound and
get hit in the mouth…’I’m going to do this for Coach K’…I don’t think that
happens. It was their game and they allowed us to share it on a pretty
neat day. That is the way we try to approach it.”
COACH K, on playing Maryland on a busy day
“It feels really good to get this win with
everything we had going on. Taking first place
in the league, Coach’s birthday, his 1,000th
game, you can pick any number of 100 rea-
sons why we wanted to win this game. Coach
works so hard for us. He’s in here every single
night watching hundreds of hours of tape. It’s
just ridiculous -- I couldn’t do it. He works so
hard for us, and we love to give him a gift like
that back. It feels really good.”
BRIAN ZOUBEK
“Coach K deserved a great game today, and
we really wanted to play the way he wants his
players to play. I thought we did a good job
of that, playing defense, rebounding, playing
hard. We just wanted to do that for him and
we were happy to get the win.”
