GREENSBORO, N.C. - Maryland capped an improbable run through the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament Sunday by beating No. 5 Duke 95-87 in overtime, ending the top-seeded Blue Devils' run at five straight league titles.

It was the first ACC Tournament title for the sixth-seeded Terrapins (19-11) since 1984, when Len Bias and coach Lefty Driesell beat Duke.

Duke (27-5) came into the tournament looking for its record sixth consecutive title and 15th overall. Instead, the Blue Devils took their first ACC postseason loss since 1998 - snapping a streak of 17 straight wins.

"I was thinking right after the game, to win five straight ACC Tournament championships is incredible," Terps coach Gary Williams said. "I don't think you'll ever see that again."

Sophomore guard John Gilchrist put together a terrific three-game stretch to help the Terps beat the Nos. 3, 2 and 1 seeds. He scored 26 points Sunday to lead Maryland.
