I’ll be previewing each region of the tournament over the next couple days and we’re getting things started with the West Region, which is of particular interest to Duke fans. The Blue Devils are the No. 4 seed in the West and begin the tournament on Thursday when they face UNC Wilmington at 12:15 p.m. in Providence, RI. You can watch the game on CBS or on the network’s March Madness app.
Here are a few more things you need to know about the West, including a few of the teams and players that could stand in the way of Duke’s path to a championship.
