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.

Flagg is the crown jewel of this class, and whatever team wins the lottery will be making him the top overall pick. He passes the eye test and has been unreal in the box score, especially as of late.

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.

That's not all. Flagg also became the first Duke basketball talent to record at least 35 points, five rebounds, and five assists in any game since his head coach, Jon Scheyer, dropped 36 points, eight rebounds, and nine assists in a home win over Gardner-Webb on Dec. 15, 2009.

It’s the most talked about dunk of the year. Cooper Flagg had just stolen the ball from Pitt’s Jalond Lowe, and after dribbling down court at full speed, threw down an emphatic one handed dunk over a 7-foot defender named Guillermo Diaz-Graham.
