The Opening Faceoff
- Duke earned an at-large bid and the No. 7 seed following a runner-up finish at the ACC Championship. The Blue Devils (12-5) held Syracuse without a goal for the final 10:54 and just missed wide on a final-second shot to force overtime in the 9-8 loss to the Orange. Duke is making its 27th appearance in the NCAA Tournament and is a top eight seed for the 22nd time in program history.
- Georgetown captured a seventh straight BIG EAST title to earn the automatic qualifier to the NCAA Tournament. The Hoyas are 11-4 overall and defeated Marquette (19-8) and Villanova (16-8) in the BIG EAST Championship to earn the bid. The Hoyas feature the nation's ninth-ranked scoring defense (8.93) and are winning an average of 55 percent of their faceoffs.
- This will be the second meeting between Georgetown and Duke in NCAA Tournament action and the 31st meeting overall. The Hoyas defeated the No. 4 seed Blue Devils in the opening round in 1999. The two squads last faced off in 2017 - a 12-7 win by Duke in Washington D.C.
