ESPN Bracketology firmly has Duke on the 1-seed line as it currently stands, and with potentially the best overall body of work college basketball has to offer, the Blue Devils are controlling their own destiny to the top line in the NCAA Tournament.

Only Arizona, the unanimous No. 1 team in the Associated Press Top 25 with a 22-0 record on the year, also owns nine Quad 1 victories.

Blue Devils Set for Quadrant 3 Contest Against Boston College

Tuesday's bout with the Eagles is a bit of a tune-up before the Blue Devils take on No. 14 North Carolina (18-4, 6-3 ACC) in the first edition of the sport's best rivalry on Saturday night. Duke will head to Chapel Hill for a 6:30 pm ET tip.

Boston College has lost six of its last eight games and is one of the worst teams in all of Power Conference hoops. The Eagles are currently No. 153 in the NET and No. 144 at KenPom. The only Power Conference squad ranked lower than the Eagles in either of those metrics is Rutgers out of the Big 10.

Boston College is currently 0-4 in Quadrant 1, 1-3 in Quadrant 2, 2-3 in Quadrant 3, and 6-2 in Quadrant 4. The Eagles are 1-5 on the road this season.
