Duke edges Maryland in tense 1980 ACC matchup

Duke faced Maryland on February 16, 1980, in a closely contested ACC game at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The Blue Devils led 62-61 with just over a minute left, and after a strategic timeout, they burned clock before Mike Gminski hit two critical free throws to secure a 66-61 victory. Both teams featured strong rosters, with Maryland's Albert King and Duke's Gminski playing key roles. Earlier in February, Maryland had triumphed over Duke 101-82, and the teams would meet again in the ACC Tournament, where Duke won 73-72 amidst controversy.
