Cooper Flagg, Duke men’s basketball can’t grab No. 1 ranking
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.
