Coach K’s final men’s NCAA tournament is going to start far away from home.
Duke will be a No. 2 seed in 2022 March Madness … but they’re going to start in the West region, starting out against Cal-State Fullerton. It’s probably a game they can win.
But looming could be a matchup against No. 7 Michigan State if the Spartans beat No. 10 Davidson in their first-round game. And Gonzaga is the top seed in the region. Also: People were angry Tennessee was a No. 3 behind the Blue Devils.
That’s quite a lot on Mike Krzyzewski’s plate in what’s set to be his last tourney. And of course college hoops fans were shocked about that on Selection Sunday:
Lots of reactions!
A potential MSU vs Duke match up, wow absolutely nobody saw that coming 😐

Can’t believe Tennessee gets a No. 3 and Duke gets a No. 2.
Yes I can.

Duke had no business as a 2 seed. But the Blue Devils did get a brutally tough road. I'm sure Tennessee would not trade the 3 in their region for the 2 in Duke's.
Still, what in the world?!

Tennessee being a No. 3 seed and Duke being a No. 2 seed is an absolute joke on every level.
