Flagg Sets ACC Freshman Scoring Record with 42 Points

News summary

Duke freshman Cooper Flagg set an Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) freshman single-game scoring record by scoring 42 points in Duke's 86-78 victory over Notre Dame, marking the most points by a Duke player since 1988. This performance earned him ACC Player and Rookie of the Week honors, a feat he has achieved thrice this season. Flagg, projected as the top pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, is compared to legends like Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, showcasing his potential as a generational talent. Despite his stellar performance, Duke faces challenges with injuries, including the absence of key player Maliq Brown due to a knee sprain. The Blue Devils are preparing to face the Miami Hurricanes, who are struggling with injuries of their own, including Nijel Pack and Divine Ugochukwu. Flagg's consistent performance, particularly his improved 3-point shooting, positions him as a pivotal player for Duke's ongoing success this season.
