Duke lost the game 83-79, falling to 21-6 on the season and 12-4 in ACC play. After grabbing a rebound in the final seconds, Duke had a chance to tie the game or take the lead with time winding down. However, the Blue Devils’ Tyrese Proctor passed the ball off Filipowski’s hands, resulting in a turnover and giving the ball bake to the Demon Deacons, who sealed the game with a pair of free throws.
