Cooper Flagg points tonight: How much did Duke star score vs Syracuse Wednesday?
Duke basketball star Cooper Flagg, the projected No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, helped the Blue Devils improve their ACC record to 12-0 this season with a huge 83-54 win over Syracuse on Wednesday.
While the 6-foot-9 true freshman was certainly impactful on the floor, he wasn't quite as needed as he has been in past games due to Duke's dominance from the start against the struggling Orange. Flagg shot 4 of 7 from the field for 11 points, adding five rebounds with two assists and two blocks.
Flagg's performance, one that resulted in a win and was more than solid, shows how other-worldly he has been this season for Duke. His performance fell well short of his season averages of 20 points, eight rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, although a negative game script certainly contributed to his less productive night.
Winners of 16 straight games, Flagg and Duke are back in action against Clemson on Saturday.
