Projected seed: 1

Duke boasts a solid overall record with impressive victories against strong opponents like Auburn and Arizona, showcasing their ability to compete at a high level. Their defense stands out, allowing them to limit scoring opportunities for their competition, evident in their commanding wins against teams like Pittsburgh and Wofford. However, losses to Kentucky and Kansas raise questions about their consistency, particularly in high-pressure situations. Upcoming games against rivals such as North Carolina and Clemson will be critical; winning these could solidify their top seed status, whereas any slip-up might jeopardize their placement and further expose vulnerabilities.
