Where does Joe Lunardi have Duke in his bracket before the ACC Tournament?

With the postseason almost set to begin and less than a week between now and Selection Sunday, where will Duke end up?

With Duke’s regular season officially over and the ACC Tournament set to begin on Tuesday, there aren’t many chances remaining for NCAA Tournament seeding to improve.

With the clock almost on Selection Sunday, ESPN’s Joe Lunardi revealed his latest bracket projections on Tuesday. The longtime bracket expert had the Blue Devils as his 11th overall seed and the No. 3 seed in the South region.

Duke shared their region of the bracket with Houston, the No. 1 team in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll but Lunardi’s third overall seed, and Creighton.

Purdue, Connecticut, and Tennessee took the other three No. 1 seeds, with the Boilermakers serving as Lunardi’s top overall seed in the tournament.

North Carolina, fresh off beating the Blue Devils to claim the ACC regular-season title for themselves, barely missed out on the top line. The Tar Heels were Lunardi’s fifth overall seed and the No. 2 in the East region.
