It’s as good a bracket as Duke could ever hope for. Duke would not choose to swap places with the 1 seed.

Really no excuse to not make the finals with a likely path of Cuse and Clemson/UVA.

I don't see anyone in UNC's side of the bracket that can challenge them. However, I'm so low on Duke right now that I expect a loss to Syracuse.

Maybe we won't even hit that 25-win mark. Just end the season on a three-game losing streak. Rationally, though, we should make the Finals of this.

 

[rome8180]

I think the most likely outcome, if we don't make the Finals, is a semi-final loss to Clemson.

 

[uncy12]

Only other team that I think has a remote possibility of winning it is Clemson at the 6 seed

 

[dukeboy911]

That unc pitt game actually might be interesting. But ya no excuse for Duke not to make the final. Unfortunate that hypothetically winning it won’t bump us off the 4 line.

 

[ZackM]

We've got this.

Duke is 8-0 against its side of the bracket, 7-5 against the other side.

 

[JimboJones]

Maybe this obvious but even if we win it don't expect it to affect NCAA seeding

 

[rome8180]

Even if we win don't expect it to affect NCAA seeding

We just can't lose the Thursday game.

Duke is 8-0 against its side of the bracket, 7-5 against the other side.

That's pretty astounding, tbh. I wish there was a team on UNC's side of the bracket that I actually think could beat them. If there was, I'd be feeling great about this draw.

 

[dukeboy911]

Already resigned myself to that fact, and that we’ll be at best 1-2 vs unc in what should’ve been our year. Oh well just gotta hope for a relatively deep tourney run at this point. ACCT won’t matter much. Just the big dance where we can get some bragging rights back.

Pitt has the best shot, IMO. Capel has had a surprising amount of success against UNC and Hinson is capable of going insane from 3. I can’t really see anyone else pulling it off.

Wake has the talent to do it, but they've completely collapsed to end the season.

 

[rome8180]

And we don't want Wake in the Finals anyway.

 

[Devilsforlife]

I genuinely cannot recall Wake making a deep run in the ACCT since I started watching. Even State has made a few in that timeframe.

 

[DurhamSon]

Wake at least has motivation since they probably need to beat UNC to get in. But I loathe Forbes so much I’m not going to be sad if they lose

 

[Devilsforlife]

Hope baldy loses again to GT or ND on Wednesday.

 

[LastHearth]

Last time for Wake was probably Randolph Childress/Tim Duncan in 95.
