Duke's NCAA regional preference is different this year for Coach K's final March Madness
If Duke is given that high seed, and can select where it wants to play, the Midwest region will reportedly be at the top of its list, despite the fact that Duke University is closer to Philadelphia, the host of the East Regional Final.
Historically Duke has often played in the East regional bracket, including in 2019, when the Blue Devils were the top overall seed and had their choice of any of the four locations. Of course, all of this requires Duke being the top overall seed to even have a choice of where to play. So, if Duke has a strong ACC tournament, don’t be surprised to see them placed in the Midwest Region on Selection Sunday.
