This is Corey with the story, here with your quick two-minute update from Durham News today. Duke heads into the NCAA tournament as the number one overall seed in the East region with a 32-and-two record. The Blue Devils, fresh off an ACC title, face a brutally tough bracket stacked with Hall of Fame coaches and top talent on their way to the 20. 26 final four in Indianapolis where they've already claimed three championships. Their first test comes Thursday against 16th-seated Sienna, the MAAC champs and 26-and-a-half-point underdogs. Duke could be without starting guard. Caleb Foster, due to a foot fracture, though a partial return isn't ruled out. After that, a second round clash likely awaits with either 8th-seated Ohio State or 9th-seated TCU, both playing strong late-season ball. Duke has a storied history in Indy, winning titles there in 1991, 2010, and 2015. They have erased the championship game since that last one, coming close last year

with the final four lost to Houston. Fans see this as their shot to return to glory against familiar foes. Sweet 16 could bring a rematch with fourth-seated Kansas, whom Duke beat earlier this season. An elite eight battle might pit them against third-seated Michigan State under Tom Izzo, another recent opponent, Duke Handled. The regional final could feature second-seated Yukon and Coach Danny Hurley. If the devils navigate this gauntlet, intriguing semi-final matchups await in Indy, possibly against powerhouses like Arizona. With their late-season surge to number one in the polls, Duke looks primed to cut down the nets once more. DNN is sponsored by our partner. Check out the episode description. Some chase peace.
