Duke freshman star Cooper Flagg made history in his team's 86-78 win over Notre Dame last weekend. Flagg set a single-game ACC freshman scoring record and finished with a career-high 42 points in Duke's 10th consecutive win.

After a hot week and Johni Broome's injury, Cooper Flagg has emerged as a heavy favorite to win the John Wooden Award.

The 6-foot-9 freshman forward scored 42 points in Saturday’s victory over Notre Dame to set an ACC freshman single-game record. He went 11 of 14 from the floor, making 4 of 6 3-pointers, and hit 16 of 17 foul shots — with the 16 made free throws standing as a Duke freshman record.
