Cinderella Stories or Chalk Picks: Unveiling the 2025 Men’s NCAA Tournament Contenders
Not only do the Blue Devils rank first in TRACR but they lead by a wide margin. They will be the favorites to win it all in the NCAA Tournament thanks to stellar play from Cooper Flagg, Kon Knueppel and Tyrese Proctor. Flagg is likely to be the top pick in this yearâs NBA draft.
This seasonâs Duke squad is similar to its 2018-19 squad that featured freshman phenoms Zion Williamson, RJ Barrett and Cam Reddish. That team was the No. 1 overall seed in the 2019 NCAA Tournament, but it fell short in the Elite Eight. This yearâs team might be less flashy but even better â they have Flagg and Knueppel as freshmen stars but also brought in solid transfers in Sion James from Tulane and Mason Gillis from Purdue. Plus, these Blue Devils can shoot, leading the ACC in 3-point percentage at 38.7%.
