The Duke Blue Devils are having an outstanding 2024-2025 season. With a record of 27-3, they are leading the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) with an incredible 18-1 conference record. A big reason for their success is their freshman sensation, Cooper Flagg.
Cooper Flagg has been a complete game-changer for the Blue Devils. Standing at 6 feet 9 inches and weighing 205 pounds, Flagg has excelled to be one of the best players in the nation, averaging 19.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game. Flagg dominates the stat sheet night in and night out and has shown glimpses of greatness.
One of Flagg’s most dominant performances came in Duke’s recent 93-60 win over Wake Forest. Flagg led the team with 28 points and 8 rebounds. He also had 7 assists, showing off his ability to impact the game in multiple ways. Whether it’s scoring, passing, or playing defense, Flagg has been a huge part of Duke’s historic season.
With Flagg leading the charge for the Blue Devils, Duke averages 83.5 points per game while only allowing 61.1 points per game, according to ESPN. Their balanced offense and aggressive defense have many debating whether they are the best team in the country.
Thanks to Flagg’s contributions, Duke has already secured at least a share of the ACC regular-season title. But their goals don’t stop there. The main focus now is competing for the upcoming ACC Championship and NCAA March Madness tournament. The Blue Devils have their goal set on a National Championship, which they haven’t accomplished since the 2014-2015 season under legendary Coach Krzyzewski.
Fans and reporters believe that with Flagg playing at this level, Duke has a real shot at cutting down the nets in April. As the end of the regular season approaches, all the eyes will be on Cooper Flagg and the Blue Devils as they push for a National Championship.
