Cooper Flagg Leads Duke Past NC State with Dominant Second Half

Duke's freshman star scored 23 of his 28 points after halftime to secure a 74-64 comeback victory, extending their ACC win streak to 10 games.

Duke overcame a 13-point first-half deficit with a 19-0 run spanning halftime, led by Cooper Flagg's aggressive play and scoring surge.
Flagg finished with 28 points, seven rebounds, and three assists, cementing his status as a top Wooden Award contender and projected NBA lottery pick.
NC State's Dontrez Styles led his team with 18 points, but the Wolfpack struggled offensively in the second half, shooting just 32%.

The game featured unusual delays, including a Duke player vomiting on the court and a fan fainting in the stands, but the Blue Devils remained focused to close out the win.
