What seed will Duke be in the 2022 NCAA tournament?

Duke has already won the ACC regular season crown for the first time since 2006. Seriously. That’s the year Greg Paulus — now the head coach at Niagara — from a freshman.

The Blue Devils are currently projected as a No. 2 seed by our bracketologist Chris Dobbertean. If Duke beats North Carolina on Saturday, and then goes on to win the ACC tournament, a No. 1 seed is still possible.

Will North Carolina make the 2022 NCAA tournament?

The Tar Heels are a bubble team right now — which means Saturday’s game might actually be more important for UNC.

Dobbertean currently has North Carolina as a No. 10 seed. The Heels are a No. 11 seed right now according to the Bracket Matrix. Either way, a win at Cameron would essentially punch the Heels’ ticket to the big dance. If they lose, they can’t go one-and-out in the ACC tournament.

What are the Duke vs. North Carolina odds?

The Blue Devils are favored by 12.5 points right now.
