For me, the dream scenario for Duke would be the following:
#1 Seed - Michigan State
#2 Seed - Duke
#3 Seed - Washington (overrated big time)
#4 Seed - Missouri (living a lie)
#5 Seed - Illinois
#6 Seed - LSU
#7 Seed - Marquette (lost one of their best players)
#8 Seed - Utah
First round matchup - #15, Cornell
None of those would scare me that much.
The nightmare scenario would be
#1 Seed - Pittsburgh (we have no stop for Blair. None.)
#2 Seed - Memphis or Oklahoma (both terrifying)
#3 Seed - Duke
#4 Seed - UCLA
#5 Seed - Xavier (I hate the thought of playing a team you beat badly again)
#6 Seed - Arizona State (Great guards, great rebounding, Herb knows us)
#7 Seed - West Virginia
#8 Seed - Dayton
First round matchup - # 14 W. Kentucky (depth, pressing team, leadership, quick guards)
