In a tense Sweet 16 matchup against Arizona, Cooper Flagg of Duke showcased his talent despite a slow start, scoring 30 points and leading his team to a 76-62 victory. After initially struggling, Flagg found his rhythm, contributing key baskets and assists that shifted the momentum for Duke. His performance included a crucial 3-pointer just before halftime and effective ball distribution, as he demonstrated poise and skill under pressure, reinforcing his status as a top NBA prospect for 2025. Flagg’s efforts were pivotal in securing Duke's advancement in the tournament.
His ridiculous transition 3-pointer from the top of the key sent the Blue Devils into halftime with a 48-42 lead - and gave Duke all the momentum it needed to pull away in the second half.
Flagg ultimately hung 30 points, six rebounds, seven assists, one steal, and one block, reinforcing his status as a top prospect.
The game slowed down around him. He was getting to his spots with ease. Duke's offense was on autopilot.
I think it was a great rebound by Mason [Gillis], just getting the ball. We were going through a little struggle at the end of that first half.
