No. 9 Duke's triumph over No. 2 Auburn can't salvage ACC-SEC Challenge for their conference

No. 9 Duke picked up its biggest win of the season on Wednesday, handing No. 2 Auburn its first loss. That was the extent of the good for the ACC.

The Blue Devils emerged victorious 84-78 at Cameron Indoor Stadium, but their conference walked away from the ACC-SEC Challenge with a horrific 14-2 loss in the second year of the event. The conference recorded only one win in each night of play.

For a while, it looked like Duke was on track to be another loss. The Blue Devils came out flat, falling behind 13-2 to open the game.
