The Duke Blue Devils lost for the first time in the 2024-25 season on Tuesday night, giving up a nine-point halftime lead to the Kentucky Wildcats in Atlanta.
Superstar forward [autotag]Cooper Flagg[/autotag] turned the ball over twice in the last 13 seconds, two critical mistakes in the 77-72 loss, but the 17-year-old still scored 12 of the Blue Devils’ last 14 points to finish with a game-high 26.
The real mistakes came from behind the 3-point line as the Blue Devils made just four of their 22 attempts from distance. Outside of Flagg, Duke went 0/8 from the floor and 2/4 from the free-throw line in the final 10 minutes, letting the Wildcats outscore them 24-11 in that span.
