Duke has been awarded the No. 2 seed in the South Regional of the NCAA tournament.

As expected, the selection committee on Sunday gave the Blue Devils a short trip for the tournament's opening weekend, sending them to Greensboro where they will face 15th-seeded Lehigh on Friday in the second round.

The winner will face either seventh-seeded Notre Dame or 10th-seeded Xavier on Sunday with that winner advancing to Atlanta in the round of 16.

The Blue Devils (27-6) are in the tournament for the 17th straight season and the 28th time in 29 years. They're a No. 2 seed for the first time since 2009. That's also the last time they spent the opening weekend in Greensboro.
