Duke led Wake Forest by nine with 81 seconds to play in regulation.
The Blue Devils needed a missed shot to avoid losing at the buzzer and a comeback in overtime to force a second overtime.
Duke was then blown off the floor in the second overtime by said Wake Forest team who entered the game in 13th place in the ACC and 4-12 in conference play and came away with a 113-101 win.
Building off all that, 24-hours ago Florida State defeated Louisville which gave the Blue Devils control of its own destiny to earn the No.
