Cooper Flagg made a dominant Saturday night entrance to the UNC-Duke rivalry.
The prospective top pick of the 2025 NBA draft recorded 21 points as No. 2 Duke cruised to an 87-70 win over visiting North Carolina.
He and fellow freshman Kon Knueppel, who led the team with 22 points, helped the Blue Devils extend their winning streak to 15 straight games.
Flagg set the tone early as he put up nine points in the first five minutes to help put Duke on track for a 22-point first-half lead.
Flagg proved to be impossible for UNC defenders to cover as the game went on.
