The Mavs might have missed out on a shot at Duke!

(Not that they were absolutely slotted in the same spot as NDSU, but it's possible.)

I would have 3 ACC teams as one seeds. Any of those three could win it all.

Honestly for Duke, it all comes down to whether they can shoot the three competently and free throws. Zion's the best college player I've ever seen so if he gets competent help, I think they'll win it all. Problem is his teammates haven't really played well lately so I don't have much faith in them magically doing it.

That ONLY happens IF UNC Tarheels get knocked out of it. Zion is a great player but the rest of his team don’t play as well together, just to young still. The Tarheels have great young talent too, but they also have junior and senior leadership in the front 7-8 players. UNC is definitely my favorite to win this with their experience and Roy Williams as HC.

Michigan St not getting a 1seed is total was an injustice and to put them in Duke bracket is the other injustice..

No, it comes down to leaving the 3 point shot alone for Duke. There is no reason for that team to ever shoot more than ten 3 point shots in a game. If they leave the 3 ball alone and play to their strength they will be extremely hard to beat.
