Where's Maryland/Duke?
"what about Maryland/Dook?" what about it?
some people seem to think that the ACC is the only conference. ESPN and Vitale just continue to promote Dook and their oily haired dictator coach.....
ummmm..... MD/Duke has been the best college basketball rivalry for the last 5-6 years period. Closest games, highest level of play, most #1 teams involved, etc...
there are a lot of great conference matchup this year!
