College Basketball Picks: Duke at Maryland

Greivis Vazquez and the Terrapins take on Duke tonight (AP Images)"]

The Maryland Terrapins look to post a second straight win over a Top-10 team behind Greivis Vazquez and gain a measure of revenge for an embarrassing loss when they host the Duke Blue Devils tonight.

Duke built a 25-point lead at halftime en route to an 85-44 home rout of Maryland on Jan. 24, which was the Terrapins' worst loss under Gary Williams. Maryland shot a season-low 28.1 percent and Vazquez posted his worst effort in ACC play this season with four points.                      

Vazquez had averaged 17.4 points on 48.3 percent shooting in his first four career games against Duke.   Saturday Vasquez had a career-high 35 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists for Maryland's first triple-double in 22 years.

Maryland needs a strong finish as it tries to return to the NCAA tournament after missing it three of the last four years.
