Jon Scheyer points to Cooper Flagg’s age, Khaman Maluach’s cramping as key reasons for loss

Duke head coach Jon Scheyer was full of excuses to explain why his Blue Devils lost to Kentucky in the Champions Classic.

Scheyer first pointed out that star freshman Cooper Flagg is only 17 years old.

“This guy to my right…at 17 years old…what he does and how he competes…I could not be more proud of him,” Scheyer said about Flagg.

He then pointed out that big man Khaman Maluach was struggling due to cramps in the second half.
