Duke suffered a somewhat shocking loss on Monday night when it gave up a last-second three to fall to Virginia at home. The Blue Devils were coming off an emotional victory in North Carolina but came out flat against the Cavaliers.
The loss ended a five-game winning streak and dropped Duke to 9-3 in the ACC. The Blue Devils are now tied for the lead with Notre Dame and just one game behind North Carolina and Wake Forest.
Thursday night, Duke kicks off a two-game road trip with a game against a Clemson team that has lost two games in a row.
The Tigers stumbled Georgia Tech on the road on Saturday, then narrowly missed defeating North Carolina on Tuesday in the 79-77 loss.
The back-to-back losses are part of a streak where they have won just three games in their last 10.
The crisis dropped the Tigers to just 4-8 in the ACC and 12-11 overall. Clemson has been above .500 all year but is in danger of falling to .500 with a loss Thursday night.
