Duke suffered a disappointing home loss against North Carolina to close out the regular season, but the Blue Devils are still very much in the National Championship conversation.
Heading into the ACC Tournament, Duke's odds to win the National Championship are +2500. Those are the seventh-best odds to win it all, behind only UConn, Houston, Purdue, Arizona, Tennessee and UNC.
Duke was hot down the stretch, winning 8-of-10 games to close out the season. The Blue Devils are seventh in KenPom rankings with the seventh-ranked offensive efficiency unit in the nation.
Their biggest challenge was exposed against UNC. Despite Kyle Filipowski's 7-foot presence in the middle of the defense, they can get muscled around. They're 23rd in defensive efficency rating at KenPom and 46th in Team Ranking's defensive efficiency ranking.
