This week Duke’s men are touring the conference’s western reaches. The home crowds at California and Stanford have been the sparsest among the 18 stops on the ACC circuit, although the much-hyped Blue Devils are sure to be a big draw.

Projecting the NCAA Tournament Bracket before March is a fool’s errand—a necessary caveat before embarking on any discussion of “bracketology.” And yet, projecting the bracket dominates the conversation amongst college basketball fans all year round (yes, there are even “Way Too Early” projected brackets in the offseason now!), so it’s impossible to ignore.
