You don’t want to be the guy who follows “the guy. ” That was the challenge Jon Scheyer faced when he succeeded the legendary Mike Krzyzewski as Duke’s head coach.

Following the committee's top 16 reveal, Duke picked up another big win to bolster its No. 1 seed case in the latest Bracketology.

Two of the coaches who are doing it as well as anyone right now are Scheyer and Michigan’s Dusty May, who faced off in Washington D.C. for the rare nonconference, mid-February spectacle that conveniently turned into a battle for No. 1.

Despite a loss to Duke, one analyst and advanced metrics still rank Michigan basketball as the best team in college.
