Duke's Toughest March Madness Path

0:00On March 16, Duke snagged the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA, a men's tournament. But according to Ken Palm ratings, they now face the toughest path to the title. In the East region, Duke could run into Yukon, Michigan State, and Kansas early on. Yukon boasts a top tier defense at No. 11, while Michigan State and Yukon both rank as national championship contenders. No other No. 1 seed deals with this level of stack competition in their bracket. Ken's midwest region comes in second toughest, but the East stands out with his defensive powerhouses. Duke tops the charts at No. 1 overall, with No. 4 offense and No. 2 defense. Teams like Michigan and No. 2 overall, and Arizona at No. 3 follow close behind. This setup means the blue doubles have to prove their dominance against elite foes just to reach the final four in Indianapolis.
