In Response To: Maryland/Duke (docriver)

Dahntay Jones : Came from Rutgers. He can't shoot the 3 as well as Battier. They are hoping he can at least fill some of his shoes, but I don't know how close he'll come. He's just not as good, defensively or offensively. They believe if he can just plug the hole left in Battier departure, they can win another title.

Tahj Holden: Bigger than Terrence Morris, who he'll be replacing. He's tougher, more competitive, and overall better at that spot (at least I think he'll prove to be).

Bottom line: Maryland has improved at every spot, returning 4 and replacing Morris with someone better. Duke also returns 4, but they are replacing Battier with someone they just hope will be adequate in that spot. These teams were pretty close last year, and I think Maryland has gotten just a little bit better than Duke.
