Duke just came within one blown call of winning the ACC, and they're bringing a ton back to join the #2 class in the country.

As much as I'd love to dunk on UNC, they *did* make the finals literally last season. I think they'll load up in the portal and be fine (though I'd love to be wrong).

Bill Self will be fine, he'll coach another 5-7 years minimum, I'd think. And they just won the title.

Kentucky has a historically good class coming in, so they'll be at worst like a 3 or 4 seed. (Though obviously the fan rage has never been louder, lol.)

There's no question that UConn, if they make the tournament and win the first round game, has an unparalleled ability to go on a deep run in the last 25 years, lol. But I do think consistency matters end of the day, and that's something that's alluded Connecticut-- even in their quarter century of genuine relevance.
