After Duke basketball's first loss since November, ESPN analyst Luke Hancock called Clemson's upset of the Blue Devils the 'ACC game of the year.' Cooper Flagg struggled in his team's loss, but the Blue Devils still have championship aspirations that should fuel them to play better moving forward.

Duke basketball had a court-storming loss at Clemson. Here's what went wrong for Cooper Flagg and the Blue Devils in their first loss since November.

Flagg’s slip while driving toward the basket curtailed Duke’s comeback chances against Clemson on Saturday, and set the stage for a 77-71 defeat that ended the Blue Devils’ winning streak at 16 games. It also cost then-No. 2 Duke a chance to rise to the No. 1 ranking in the country, following Auburn’s loss to Florida earlier that day.
