Twice, in fact.

First, as the number one overall seed Duke should be playing the 16th best team in the first round. IMO, that would be Canisius. But due to the NCAA's ridiculous insistence of minimizing travel, Canisius will be fed to Syracuse, while Duke gets a rematch (!) with Loyola, which might actually be number 14 overall (there are pretty good arguments for Hofstra at 15).

Second, the number eight overall seed is Cornell. Why do we care about this? Because the Big Red are hosting quarterfinals. That's right, Duke could have an actual away game instead of a neutral site game. Right now I am the biggest Ohio State fan on the planet.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

Duke plays Loyola at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Koskinen.
