Duke basketball looks to bring the best from its last outing to its meeting with the nation's top-ranked squad.

It seemed like history was going to repeat itself, that the Wildcats would keep themselves within striking distance into the final minutes. Instead, Duke knocked down its shots. It capitalized on a Trey Townsend turnover with a strong drive and layup from Cooper Flagg.

It felt impossible for Duke basketball phenom Cooper Flagg to match the offseason hype as a generational prospect, but through his first five games, the 17-year-old looks like he can fill those massive shoes.
