2026 Tournament PreviewFor the second consecutive year, advanced metrics place the Blue Devils among the best teams of this era. The only team above 40.0 in KenPom's net rating, Duke leads the nation in the NET and is No. 2 in wins above bubble (WAB). The Blue Devils are one of two teams (Michigan) to rank top 5 in both offensive (5th) and defensive (1st) efficiency, per KenPom, led on both ends by future NBA lottery pick Cameron Boozer (22.6 ppg, 10.0 rpg, 4.0 apg), a 6-9 freshman who shoots 40.7 percent from distance. Isaiah Evans (14.6 ppg) adds 36.7 percent three-point shooting on 221 attempts. The knock on this team is inexperience, as the eight-man rotation features six underclassmen. That hasn't stopped it thus far -- Duke's 15 Quad 1 wins lead the nation. What might stop it is injuries, as 6-11 Patrick Ngongba (10.7 pg, 6.0 rpg, 1.1 bpg) and guard Caleb Foster (8.5 ppg) missed the ACC tournament. Ngongba hopes to play the opening weekend, but Foster won't return before the Final Four.
