It is possible that Duke and Houston meet as a seeded n ° 1 in the NCAA 2025 tournament, regardless of what is happening in their respective conference tournaments, in part because the two went all season without taking a loss outside the quadrant 1. The Blue Devils and the Cougars are a 37-0 combined in quads 2-4. It’s strong. But both will have to win Thursday to stay perfect in such games.
Duke plays Georgia Tech in the ACC tournament. This is a Quad 3 opportunity. Houston plays Colorado in the Big 12 tournament. It is a Quad 2. opportunity. The two are favored by at least 17 points. The problems are therefore expected-especially since Duke is 1-0 against Georgia Tech with a 26-point victory on the road, and Houston is 1-0 against Colorado with a 10-point victory on the road.
But this month has a way to create tense situations from things that should not be tense. So who knows?
Duke is n ° 2 in the basketball ranking CBS Sports 25 and 1 up to date Thursday morning, while Houston is n ° 3 and Auburn remains n ° 1 for the 64th consecutive day due to the strength of the 15-4 record of tigers in Quad 1. Auburn is the only sports team with more than 11 quad-1 victories and losses of four or less. It is among the reasons why the Tigers classify the n ° 1 in force of the record and would probably be the seeded n ° 1 of the NCAA tournament if it was starting today.
