Duke's Cooper Flagg Leads Undefeated ACC Dominance

Duke's basketball team, led by freshman standout Cooper Flagg, is having an impressive season, currently holding a 19-2 overall record and a perfect 11-0 in ACC play. Flagg has emerged as a key player, averaging 20 points, 8 rebounds, and leading the team in several statistical categories, drawing comparisons to former LSU star Ben Simmons. Despite their dominant performance, the Blue Devils remain ranked No. 2 in the AP poll, trailing top-ranked Auburn, which has also been on a winning streak. Duke's recent victory over rival North Carolina, where Flagg scored 21 points, contributed to their 15-game winning streak, with an average margin of victory of nearly 20 points in conference games. With only one ranked opponent left on their schedule, the Blue Devils are well-positioned as they approach the NCAA tournament, although sustaining their momentum will be crucial. The ACC appears to be a down year for competition, leaving Duke as a clear favorite to contend for the national title.
