The freshman phenom exploded for 42 points in Duke&rsquo;s win over Notre Dame on Saturday, setting new ACC freshman scoring record. Flagg shot an incredible 11-of-14 from the field, 4-of-6 from three, and 16-of-17 from the free-throw line. On top of the points, he added seven assists and six rebounds as the Blue Devils hold off Notre Dame to secure a 86-78 win.<\/p><p>The 18-year-old is widely expected to go first overall in next year&rsquo;s draft and his performance on Saturday has more or less confirmed his status as a top prospect. <\/p><p>It&rsquo;s no surprise. He&rsquo;s already leading Duke in points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, and minutes. He is the first freshman to record a 40\/5\/5 game since Trae Young in 2018.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">ANOTHER ONE <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Cooper_Flagg?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@Cooper_Flagg<\/a> &#128296;&#128296;&#128296;&#128296;&#128296; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DRjRW5M21c\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/DRjRW5M21c<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Duke Men&rsquo;s Basketball (@DukeMBB) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DukeMBB\/status\/1878146781487497347?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>January 11, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>He is also the first Duke player to score 40 or more points <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Ballislife\/status\/1878168495373906042\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>since JJ Redick in 2006<\/a>.
