The No. 3 Duke Blue Devils defeated the Boston College Eagles 88-63 on Saturday, led by freshman Cooper Flagg's 28 points, securing their 12th straight victory.
The Blue Devils hit the road Saturday night to improve their record to 16-2, including 8-0 in the ACC, as Flagg contributed five rebounds and four assists along with his 28 points while shooting 64 percent from the field.
Junior Tyrese Proctor contributed 20 points, three rebounds and two assists for the win, while fellow freshman Isaiah Evans added 16 points off the bench.
Flag is averaging 18.7 points, 8.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game while shooting 47.8 percent from the field this season, which bodes well for his future with a breakout campaign.
Fans flocked to social media to express their joy at Flagg's feat, even though the opponent was the unranked Boston College team:
A game close to his hometown of Newport, Maine, the Flagg native did not disappoint, as he performed well in front of friends and family who attended the game.
Flagg opened the scoring for the Blue Devils with a jumper less than a minute into the game. He also made seven free throws in the first half, including one and one after a layup and layup.
Duke went into halftime with a 40-34 lead.
Flagg started the second half strong, scoring back-to-back layups to extend the Blue Devils' lead to 46-36. From there, he did it all — rebounds, assists, blocked shots and drained a three-pointer — as Duke pulled away and turned the game into a blowout.
Duke and Flagg have a full week before they travel to face Wake Forest next Saturday.
