No. 2 Duke suffered an upset loss to Clemson on Saturday night, falling by the final score of 77-71.

With the Blue Devils trailing by two points and 21 seconds left in the second half, standout freshman Cooper Flagg slipped and fell. Flagg was called for a travel, helping the Tigers secure the win.

It was a rough end to a promising second-half performance from the 18-year-old, scoring 14 of his 18 points after halftime. Flagg shot just 6-17 from the field, but he connected on three of his six attempts from behind the arc.
