Duke Freshman Star Cooper Flagg scored an ACC freshman record 42 points as No.4 Duke beat Notre Dame 86-78 at Cameron indoor stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Flagg also had seven assists and six rebounds. His teammate Khaman Maluach had a season-high 19 points.
Markus Burton scored 23 points for Notre Dame, which made 14 of 23 3-pointers. Toward the end of the game, the team hung around to make things interesting.
What more can anyone say about Cooper Flagg? This kid is just outstanding in every part of the game. I have not seen anything like this at Duke since I saw Jayson Tatum. Flagg can do it all on the court: a great shooter, a fantastic passer, and shines in the big moments of a game.
I see Flagg leading this Duke team to a national title run this season. But there is a lot of season left to play, and when the calendar turns to March, we will know if this kid is the real deal.
