2025 Tournament PreviewDuke is so dominant that it has the highest KenPom Net Rating this century and is the only team this season in the top 5 of both offensive and defensive efficiency. A down year for the ACC is perhaps partly responsible, but the Blue Devils also have non-conference wins against Arizona, Illinois and No. 1 seed Auburn. National Player of the Year frontrunner Cooper Flagg (18.9 ppg, 7.5 rpg, 4.1 apg) sprained an ankle in the ACC tournament, but is expected to play in the Big Dance. Duke could struggle if he is limited, but the Blue Devils still won the conference tournament with him playing only 15 minutes of their first game. Plus, they still have projected NBA lottery picks in 6-7 freshman Kon Knueppel (14.2 ppg), Duke's second-leading scorer, and 7-2 freshman Khaman Maluach (8.2 ppg, 6.7 rpg). Seven players have attempted more than 60 three-pointers, with four hitting at least 39 percent, including upperclassmen Tyrese Proctor (11.8 ppg) and Sion James (8.4 ppg). If Flagg is healthy, Duke is Auburn's biggest threat to a title.
