Police fired non-lethal force weapons at rowdy revelers after Saturday night's game, several students told the Baltimore Sun. Officers on horseback struggled to clear crowds of thousands gathered along U.S. Highway 1. Pepper-spray clouds filled the air at several intersections. Police and emergency workers worked to extinguish a fire started about midnight in a Dumpster behind businesses on U.S. 1. Celebrants ignited shirts, at least one couch and other items. They also tore down street signs. Officers detained several people and helicopters hovered above the crowds. Rivals for now In the game itself, Maryland became the first Atlantic Coast Conference team to earn a regular-season sweep against Duke since 1995-96. It was the Terrapins' third straight win in the series, including an overtime victory in the ACC tournament last March and a 75-66 win at Duke on Jan. 26. Two of seventh-ranked Duke's three losses this season have come against Maryland. "Over the last couple of years, it has been a big rivalry between us," Duke guard Daniel Ewing said. "Both teams have good players, both teams always get up for the game. It's going to be a good rivalry." Other matters Coach Jim Calhoun has had to spend several days at the hospital bedsides of two of his players instead of concentrating on defending Connecticut's second national championship. Top recruit A.J. Price suffered a brain hemorrhage in October and was in critical condition for nearly three weeks. Most recently, leading scorer Rashad Anderson has been hospitalized all week with a serious leg infection that has affected his breathing and landed him in intensive care. "His spirits are good," Calhoun said of Anderson before going to the hospital following Sunday's loss to North Carolina. "Before the game we've had some good news about his breathing and that's been a major problem. Hopefully we'll have him out in a couple days." Copyright © 2005, The Chicago Tribune
