Cooper Flagg had to navigate some adversity on Saturday before helping Duke to a critical 82-69 win over rival North Carolina. The win earned the Blue Devils the outright ACC title and No. 1 seed in next week's ACC Tournament.

Duke played down a man — or two — for most of February and the first two games of March. For the final regular-season game at UNC, the Blue Devils had all players available.

Flagg added 15 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists despite first-half foul trouble for the Blue Devils, who went 19-1 in ACC play.
