Projected seed: 4
Looking at Duke's season, they've shown the ability to handle business against the teams they're supposed to beat and have some valuable wins that catch the eye. They did stumble a bit against some of the lower-ranked competition on the road, but their strong performances in key matchups, especially the win at home against a powerhouse like North Carolina, help make their case. However, their inconsistency against some mid-tier conference opponents and a recent slip in the ACC Tournament could raise questions about their ability to make a deep run. These results, combined with their overall body of work and balanced attack on both ends of the floor, suggest that they're positioned well but have a bit to prove when the pressure cranks up in March. Their seeding in the tournament will offer an interesting test to see if they can harness their clear potential and address those few inconsistencies.
