Oh my, does tonight ever get the official seal of awesomeness. We have Maryland going to Duke, and while Duke should win this game pretty easily, Maryland always plays them tough regardless of record. I'm never surprised when Maryland sticks it to Duke.But that's just an appetizer for the main course: Warriors/Suns. I know Shaq isn't playing tonight, but that doesn't matter. These two teams are the reason people watch basketball. They both play up-tempo ball and horrible defense. Doesn't get any better than this in terms of exciting, high-flying basketball. It's like you'll be transported back to the late 80s of pro hoops. My guess is Golden State 125, Phoenix 120.
