When: 9 p.m. today

Where: Comcast Center, College Park, Md.

TV/Radio: ESPN/WDNC-620, WKIX-102.9

Player to watch: Alex Len, Maryland, Fr.

The Terrapins' 7-foot-1 center left Saturday's loss to Temple with an ankle injury. Maryland doesn't have much size other than Len, so whether he plays tonight or not could have a significant effect on the game. Maryland coach Mark Turgeon said he expects Len to play.

Observation: Maryland will honor retired coach Gary Williams before the game by naming the court after him, so the first five minutes of the game could be important as Duke weathers the early emotional boost provided to the Terrapins from the crowd.

"They have a great crowd all the time when they're playing us," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "Whether the court is named for Gary beforehand or after, I would expect them to give us their best shot."
