Duke 86, Notre Dame 78: Flagg this one as a moral victory

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish went into Cameron Indoor Stadium for the most daunting game on their 2024-25 schedule, and until the last four minutes, it went mostly how you would expect. To the credit of Micah Shrewsberry and his squad, other recent Notre Dame teams have rolled over far more easily in this building against lesser Duke teams. However, the size and skill gap between Notre Dame and Duke was evident from start-to-finish, and even a scorching hot shooting day from deep wasn’t enough to catch Duke behind Cooper Flagg’s career day.
