Cooper Flagg Exhilarates CBB Fans as No. 4 Duke Dominates Pitt to Extend Win Streak

Another game, another excellent Cooper Flagg performance. Yawn.

The Duke star posted 19 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in Tuesday's convincing 76-47 win over Pittsburgh.

Oh, and he did this, too:

Flagg is making a habit of this, and the No. 4 Blue Devils (13-2) are profiting, winning their ninth straight game on Tuesday. He had help, of course, with Kon Knueppel adding 17 points. For Pittsburgh, Cameron Corhen led the way with 11 points and seven rebounds.

But it was Flagg's night and social media was loving the performance. His massive dunk was the obvious highlight of the evening:

Flagg's time in Durham will only last for one year—he's the frontrunner to be the top overall pick in the 2025 NBA draft—but he has the Blue Devils looking like national championship contenders, with only losses to Kentucky and Kansas as blemishes on the team's résumé.

His second-half performance was elite, helping Duke outscore the Panthers 42-23 in the final 20 minutes.

At this point, Flagg is walking the rare line that only special athletes straddle—great performances become the norm, but the level to which he impresses still amazes.

"I feel like I'm taking crazy pills somewhat when we talk about Cooper," Duke head coach Jon Scheyer told reporters on Monday. "Look, he reclassified. How many different times can you point to a reclassification, where a guy's doing this, and he's the No. 1 guy in a scouting report, and has played every game up until now, at 17 years old? He's been incredible."

"Over break I told him I think he's still got way more in him," he added. "And I thought he unleashed even more what he can do today. We should all cherish the fact that Cooper came a year early. ... To me, it doesn't get necessarily mentioned enough. I know we praise Cooper, he deserves it, but what he does for our team is incredible."

And he did it again on Tuesday.
