Duke, with Cameron Boozer and an 11-game winning streak, takes top overall seed
for March Madness

Duke is the top overall seed for this year's NCAA Tournament, bringing an
11-game winning streak, a 32-2 record and player-of-the-year favorite Cameron
Boozer into the three-week hoops free-for-all known as March Madness.
The Blue Devils received top billing in the 68-team bracket released Sunday, a
predictable result for a team that won its 24th conference title over the
weekend and is listed by the BetMGM Sportsbook at 10-3 to win its sixth
national championship.
That was actually a tad behind Michigan, listed as the 13-4 favorite and
expected to later receive a No. 1 seed as the bracket trickled out on Selection
Sunday.
Arizona and Florida were the other teams expected to receive top seeding for
the tournament that starts Tuesday and ends at the Final Four in Indianapolis
on April 4-6.
