SB Nation Reacts: Duke picked to win 2025 men’s college basketball national championship

It just feels like that kind of year.

Duke, led by sensational freshman and likely No. 1 NBA Draft pick Cooper Flagg, has torn through college basketball this season en route to a 1-seed off of a 35-3 record with just a single loss in conference play.

The Blue Devils aren’t the tournament’s No. 1 overall seed, but sit atop KenPom’s efficiency rankings heading into the Final Four this weekend. Houston, Florida and Auburn are right behind them.

SB Nation readers pretty overwhelmingly picked Duke to cut down the nets on Monday, winning a majority of the vote.
