Duke freshman star Cooper Flagg had already arrived in college basketball, as he entered Saturday leading the Blue Devils in just about every meaningful statistical category. But he made the biggest statement of his career Saturday in Duke's 86–78 win over Notre Dame at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Flagg made college basketball history by scoring 42 points on 11-of-14 shooting from the field, shattering the all-time ACC freshman single-game scoring record. He also became the first Duke player to score 40 points in a game since J.J. Redick in 2006.
