Duke Tops March Madness Seedings, Upsets Abound

Duke was revealed as the No. 1 overall seed for the upcoming March Madness tournament on Sunday. Arizona, Michigan, and Florida were also tabbed as top seeds in the West, Midwest, and South regions, respectively. The selection committee announced the full field of 68 teams, with several notable programs like San Diego State, Indiana, Oklahoma, and Auburn notably absent.

Miami (Ohio) secured an No. 11 seed, facing a First Four game despite a 31-1 record and a low strength of schedule. The committee's decisions, including Michigan's slight drop due to a recent loss, were explained by tournament selection chair Keith Gill. The tournament is set to begin on Tuesday, with the national champion to be crowned in Indianapolis on April 6.
