The Blue Devils were just named the No. 1 team in the country by the Associated Press in the preseason Top 25 poll, and they are also the +400 favorites to cut down the nets in April.

Led by senior guard Grayson Allen and top recruit Marvin Bagley III, Duke is ranked No. 1 for the second year in a row and the ninth time overall, tying the defending national champion North Carolina Tar Heels for that honor. The Blue Devils received 33 out of a possible 65 first-place votes, with the second-ranked Michigan State Spartans receiving 13 and the third-ranked Arizona Wildcats picking up 18.
