Duke landing no. 4 seed in South region for 2024 March Madness sparks heated debate among fans

Get ready for the unlimited thrill, as the March Madness Selection Sunday is over. The Duke Blue Devils have landed as a No. 4 seed in the South region, but fans are not happy about it after a good 2023-24 season.

Duke faces No.13 seed Vermont in the first round, which is expected to be manageable. However, their potential clashes in the South region include No.1 seed Houston, No. 2 seed Marquette and No. 3 seed Kentucky to reach the Final Four.

In the 2023-24 season, Duke was in second spot in the Atlantic Coast Conference. They had a conference record of 15-5 and an overall record of 24-8, with Kyle Filipowski as their star player this season.
