COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) -- Chris Carrawell reflects on events like one of those veterans well into his second decade as a pro rather than as a college senior.

	Duke's Shane Battier had 14 points, nine rebounds and seven blocks.

After scoring 20 points and doing just about anything else Duke needed in an 80-70 victory over Maryland on Sunday, Carrawell sat in a crowded locker room and talked of the many streaks the latest win kept alive.

"I've been in every game situation, played against all the top players, been to the national championship game and Final Four and even was part of a team that lost a 17-point lead in a game leading to the Final Four," he said. "Even with all that, there's nothing like winning games in this league."

The Blue Devils (No. 7 ESPN/USA Today, No. 8 AP) have won 11 straight games since opening the season 0-2 and have won 24 in a row in the Atlantic Coast Conference, including 13 on the road.

Duke (11-2, 2-0) has six straight wins over Maryland (No. 15 ESPN/USA Today, No. 12 AP), winning 29 of the last 34 meetings.

This one was closer than the previous two in Cole Field House, where the Terrapins (11-4, 0-2) had won 14 straight. Duke won those two games by 32 and 18 points, the latter Maryland's last home loss before Sunday.

"They've had success playing everywhere over the years," Maryland coach Gary Williams said. "They lost twice last year. They're a good basketball team. That's why they win here."

Freshman Carlos Boozer had 17 points and 15 rebounds for Duke, which took advantage of some poor shooting by Maryland to take a 14-4 lead 5:12 in.

It seemed like it would be the third straight rout for Duke in Maryland's building. The Terrapins missed 20 of their first 25 shots from the field but were only down 39-34 at halftime.

A jumper in the lane by Juan Dixon pulled Maryland to 51-47 with 11:06 to play, but Carrawell hit a 3-pointer to start a 13-1 run. He made his second 3 in the run for a 61-48 lead with 7:58 left, and Shane Battier, who finished with 14 points, nine rebounds and seven blocks, ended the run with a three-point play with 7:33 to go.

Maryland got no closer than seven the rest of the way.

"We're ecstatic about winning up here. It's a crazy game," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "We thought our defense on the initial shot was our best all year. When we did rebound, then we built a lead.

"Carrawell was fabulous. I don't know how many things I asked him to do today, but he did all of them -- ballhandle, shoot, lead, play defense, inbound the ball. He just did everything for us today."

Terence Morris had 18 points and 13 rebounds for the Terrapins, while Lonny Baxter added 14 points and 16 rebounds.

But the shooting statistics were the most telling numbers. Morris finished 6-for-15 from field and Baxter was 7-for-23. The Terrapins were 29-for-85 from the field (34.1 percent), while Duke shot 43.8 percent (28-for-64).

"I thought we played with good intensity, they just didn't put the ball in the basket to be precise," Williams said. "We couldn't find the hot guy today and we paid the price."

Battier credited Duke's team defense.

"When you guard someone it's never one on one," he said.

The Terrapins were 8-for-17 from the free-throw line. When Morris made one with 7:17 left to make them 5-for-13, the sellout crowd of 14,500 let out a sarcastic cheer.

They did it again just over a minute later when Baxter scored on a rebound of his own missed shot to make him 4-for-18 from the field for the game.

"It was one of those days," Baxter said. "We had great shots against them, they just didn't fall today. We didn't make the shots we needed to hit. We took enough shots. That wasn't the problem. They just wouldn't fall."

Despite going 7-for-12 from the field, Carrawell didn't have a perfect game as he threw up two air balls and the crowd serenaded him the rest of the game with a chant of "air ball" every time he touched the ball.

"I'm usually good for one brick a game but that one shot my arm was hit and the chant wasn't fair," he said, breaking into a big smile. "They got on me. To come up with some big shots at the end was great."
