Final Stats

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) - Shelden Williams got his first career triple-double and J.J. Redick scored 27 points, helping the top-ranked Blue Devils snap a three-game losing streak to No. 23 Maryland with a 76-52 victory Wednesday night.

Maryland swept the series a year ago after beating Duke in the final of the 2004 Atlantic Coast Conference tournament, and Williams and his teammates came out with an inspired first half to make sure it wouldn't happen again.

He had 19 points, 11 rebounds and a career-high 10 blocks for the Blue Devils (15-0, 3-0), who scored the game's first seven points and eventually stretched the lead to 45-22 at halftime. They held the Terrapins (11-4, 1-2) to 29 percent shooting in the opening 20 minutes while forcing 18 of Maryland's season-high 29 turnovers.

Redick, the ACC's leading scorer, finished 9-of-22, including 4-of-13 on 3-pointers.

Williams helped keep all of Maryland's players in single digits in points until Chris McCray made a layup with 3 1/2 minutes to reach 10.

He eventually got to 12 to lead the Terrapins, who lost their second in a row in front of a celebrity-filled crowd that included Magic Johnson, Boston Celtics head of basketball operations Danny Ainge and former Duke players Christian Laettner, Brian Davis and Jay Williams.
