March Madness 2025: Duke's Path to the National Title

The 2025 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament has reached its Elite Eight stage, and Duke is one of the top contenders for the national title. With several strong teams still in the running, it's essential to assess the Blue Devils' chances and the teams standing in their way.

According to ESPN's latest rankings, Duke is currently the number two seed in the tournament, behind only Houston, who recently advanced to the Elite Eight with a thrilling win over Purdue. The Cougars' last-second bucket by Milos Uzan secured their spot in the next round.

The NCAA has announced the schedule for the remaining games, with the Elite Eight matchups set to take place on March 28 and 29. The winners of these games will move on to the Final Four, which will be played on April 1 and 3.

Duke's Road to the Championship

While Duke has a strong team this year, they still face stiff competition from the other remaining teams. Their potential opponents in the Elite Eight include Gonzaga, who has been a consistent top-ranked team throughout the season.

In order to reach the national title game, Duke will need to overcome their opponents in the Elite Eight and the Final Four. If they can manage to do so, they will face off against the winner of the other bracket in the championship game on April 5.

With the tournament heating up, fans are eagerly anticipating the next round of games. Will Duke be able to overcome the obstacles in their path and bring home the national title? Only time will tell.
