PRESENTED BY For the second time this month, the No. 1 team fell at home to an unranked nonconference foe. And this time it came at the buzzer and ended a nearly 20-year streak. Top-ranked , Tuesday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium — exactly two weeks after . The Blue Devils also became the third top-ranked team to lose in the season's first month (Preseason No. 1 Michigan State lost to Kentucky on Nov. 5). Though Duke had the chance to win it late, Stephen F. Austin came up with the steal and got Nathan Bain's layup just before the buzzer secured the shocker. UPSET ALERT

DOWN GOES NO. 1 DUKE TO THE 'JACKS! — SFA Basketball (@SFA_MBB) The last nine minutes of the second half saw the teams exchange points and leads, as neither team led by more than two points. After a Harris free throw tied the game at 79, Duke's Tre Jones gave his team the lead with a pair of free throws with about 29 seconds to go...only for Gavin Kensmil to score and force OT at 81-81. Vernon Carey Jr. led Duke with 20 points on 8-for-10 shooting. But Cameron Johnson scored 16 off the bench for the Lumberjacks, who shot 48.6 percent from the floor.
