Duke's Jon Scheyer: Cooper Flagg Made 'Zion Kind of Play' on Viral Dunk vs. Pitt

The Duke men's basketball team defeated Pittsburgh 76-47 on Tuesday, but it was one play that stood out more than the final score.

Freshman Cooper Flagg stole a pass near the baseline on the defensive end, drove the length of the floor and then unleashed a one-handed tomahawk slam to fire up the crowd at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Head coach Jon Scheyer said it was "a Zion kind of play," in reference to former Blue Devils star Zion Williamson, per ESPN's David Hale.

"We've had a few guys through the years to make a couple plays that just spark everybody in the building," Scheyer said.
