It’s the largest margin under Gary Williams, surpassing a 15-point drubbing of Duke when the Blue Devils first visited Comcast Center in 2003. But it isn’t the largest.

Here’s all of Maryland’s 15-point victories over top-five opponents:

23: No. 20 Maryland 85, No. 4 Virginia 62 (March 6, 1981-ACC tournament)

19: @No. 12 Maryland 101, No. 5 Duke 82 (Feb. 2, 1980)
