Maryland Upsets #1 Duke 83-81
Maryland/Duke has been one of the best rivalries in college basketball. (Even if the Dookies don't want to admit it)
For many in Maryland, forget the superbowl just won by the Ravens...this is a win over Duke. Ranked #1 by USA Today, Duke traveled for possibly the last time to play basketball in Maryland as the Terps will be moving on to the Big Ten.
College officials, anticipating the burning couches and riots that can occur after Duke games, create their own "official" fire on campus to draw the students away from town.

9:42 p.m.: There were live wires at the light pole that crowds broke down but officers have cleared them away.
Both of the arrests made on Route 1 were for disorderly conduct, county police tweeted.
9:40 p.m.: A fight broke out and another individual was arrested by officers. A flare on the ground drew a crowd outside Ratsie’s before the flame subsides and firecrackers continue to go off in the area.
Several officers are standing on the roof of Yogiberry. Shuttle-UM buses have been instructed by the Department of Transportation via radio to avoid driving anywhere south of Campus Drive.
“No buses are serving downtown,” said an Orange route Shuttle-UM driver. “The closest you can get is the M Circle.”
9:30 p.m.: University Police tweeted, “We support safe student celebrations but remember that damaging property is a crime.”

I think they should end the season when they act like this.

The very second we heard that the Terps beat Duke, sainted spouse and I said “there goes College Park.” Sorry, but I have NO respect for U of MD, can’t ever root for them to win at anything and haven’t since they celebrated their national championship some years ago by burning private property in the host town. Little ba$tard$.
