  "account": "Raleigh, North Carolina - March 23, 2025 - CBS Sports has released its projected starting lineup for the Duke Blue Devils ahead of their upcoming NCAA basketball tournament game against the Baylor Bears. According to the projections, Caleb Foster and John Blackwell will be the guards, while Patrick Ngongba will play center, with Dame Sarr and Cameron Williams filling the forward positions. However, Duke's depth means that there is always the potential for changes to the lineup.\n\nNotable players who could potentially make an impact include Cayden Boozer and Joaquim Boumtje Boumtje, both of whom have shown exceptional skill and could easily take a starting role. Additionally, Deron Rippey, known for his exceptional abilities, could also start if Bryson Howard fails to impress during the season.\n\nA recent trend this summer has been the idea that Duke's second team would be ranked as well, but this notion has become somewhat overused and may not hold much weight. Regardless, it is clear that Duke's practice sessions will be intense and challenging, often surpassing the intensity of the games themselves. For more information, visit the DBR Boards.",
