Men's Champ Week questions: 1-seeds, tournament stakes, more

Duke and Auburn have competed all season, so it's not surprising that the two teams are front and center entering Champ Week. Following the Blue Devils' win over the Tigers at Cameron Indoor Stadium, both teams positioned themselves to secure the top overall seed in the NCAA tournament. But this week's matchups could impact the fight for that spot, in addition to the Wooden Award competition between Cooper Flagg and Johni Broome.
