“Duke should get the number one overall seed”: Fans react to insider Andy Katz’s March Madness bracket prediction ahead of Selection Sunday

With Selection Sunday right around the corner, basketball fans are eagerly waiting for the final bracket. Insider Andy Katz kept the fans buzzing on social media with his latest prediction, placing Auburn as the No. 1 seed for the NCAA Tournament.

This sparked strong reactions from fans:

Many Duke supporters believe their team deserves the top spot after an impressive ACC Tournament run.

​

One Duke fan wrote, “Duke should get the number one overall seed.”

However, not everyone agreed. Another fan defended Auburn’s position, stating:

​

“Most of y’all forgetting Auburn still has the most Q1 wins and #1 SOS… Duke only has two ranked wins since December.”

Other fans weighed in on different aspects of Katz’s bracket.

​

“There’s no way Auburn still deserves the #1 overall seed. They just lost 3 of their last 4,” noted one fan.

“Kansas and Ole Miss above Missouri is funny,” another fan commented.

A Louisville fan questioned the team’s placement, saying:

​

“Louisville a 6 seed????? Really??????? That’s crazy work!!!!!!!”

A Florida supporter also entered the conversation, arguing:

​

“Florida should be the number 1 overall seed.”
