DURHAM, N.C. (AP) -- Duke got Maryland in its comfort zone and paid back the 13th-ranked Terrapins for its most lopsided loss of the season.
Dahntay Jones scored 21 points and J.J. Redick added 17 as the eighth-ranked Blue Devils ran their winning streak in Cameron Indoor Stadium to 26 straight with a 75-70 victory Wednesday night.
The Blue Devils closed the deal in the final minutes after leading 37-33 at halftime.
Steve Blake missed a contested 3-pointer with 2 seconds left that could have tied it for the Terrapins, but he threw up an air ball and Redick closed it out with two free throws.
Shelden Williams also came up big for the Blue Devils. The freshmen had three points in 13 minutes. Williams finished with 13 points, 11 rebounds and six of Duke's season-high 13 blocked shots.
Tahj Holden led Maryland with a career-high 18 points.
