Cooper Flagg Shines in Duke's Dominant Win Over Pittsburgh

The 17-year-old phenom delivered a standout second-half performance, highlighted by a thunderous dunk, as Duke extended its win streak to nine games.

Cooper Flagg led Duke to a 76-47 victory over Pittsburgh with 19 points, 10 rebounds, and four assists, despite early foul trouble limiting his first-half contributions.
Flagg's second-half resurgence included 14 points, seven rebounds, and a highlight-reel dunk that electrified fans and teammates alike.
The dunk, a coast-to-coast slam over a defender following a steal, has been widely celebrated as one of the best of Flagg's young career and a defining moment of the game.
Duke, currently ranked No. 4, secured its ninth consecutive win, with contributions from Kon Knueppel, who added 17 points, and a strong defensive effort to close the game on an 18-0 run.
At just 17 years old, Flagg is already considered a frontrunner for the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, with his coach and analysts praising his maturity, two-way impact, and rapid development.
