Maryland's seniors rose and spoke during a team meeting prior to Saturday's game against Clemson.

"We told them about our experience in the NIT our freshman year," senior guard Adrian Bowie said. "It's not a fun experience. We didn't want to go back."

The Terrapins went on to beat Clemson, 79-77, to get back on track.

Maryland will need more wins to boost their NCAA Tournament hopes, but they needed a victory after losing three of their first four ACC games.

"We needed to come back and prove to everybody, especially after playing bad against Virginia Tech, that we're a team to be reckoned with," said sophomore center Jordan Williams.

The Tar Heels have offered a scholarship to Desmond Hubert, a 6-foot-9 forward from New Jersey.

Hubert is being recruited by one other ACC school, Maryland. He has already taken an official visit there and is being recruited by his fellow Garden State native and Terp commit, Sterling Gibbs.

Villanova used a 19-0 run in the second half to defeat Maryland 74-66 on Saturday afternoon at The Pavilion.

"We hit some big shots, we got the crowd into it," Maalik Wayns said, "But I had no idea at the number. I didn't even realize it was 19-0."

Overall, Villanova outscored Maryland by 11 points in the second half.

The Wildcats trailed by 12 midway through the second half.

No. 1 Duke defeated Maryland 71-64 on Sunday night to extend their winning streak to 25 games.

Kyle Singler starred for the Blue Devils with 25 points and a season-high 10 rebounds.

The Blue Devils overcame 17 turnovers and shot 40 percent to extend their best start since 2005-06.

The Terrapins are the last team to beat Duke.
