Duke's freshman standout, Cooper Flagg, received chants of 'One more year!' from the Cameron Crazies as he potentially played his final game at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Flagg, a highly touted NBA draft prospect, led Duke to a dominant 93-60 victory over Wake Forest with an impressive performance.
Flagg showcased his diverse skill set, contributing 28 points, eight rebounds, seven assists, three blocks, and two steals in the game. His second-half performance was particularly outstanding, scoring 18 points on 8-for-10 shooting to help Duke secure a significant lead.
Throughout the season, Flagg has consistently displayed his basketball prowess, excelling in passing, shooting, and transition play. His memorable moments at Cameron Indoor Stadium include a record-breaking 42-point game against Notre Dame and a highlight-reel dunk over a 7-foot defender in a game against Pittsburgh.
Despite the speculation about his future, Flagg remained focused on the present, emphasizing his enjoyment of the college basketball experience and the support he has received from teammates and fans. Duke's head coach, Jon Scheyer, praised Flagg not only for his talent but also for his character and commitment to the team.
As Flagg bid potential farewell to the iconic arena, he expressed gratitude for his time at Duke, calling it 'the best place in college basketball.' Whether Flagg will return for another season remains uncertain, but his impact on the team and the fans has been undeniable throughout his freshman year.
