Cooper Flagg was electric in Duke's Sweet 16 win over the Arizona Wildcats on Thursday. The Blue Devils' prize freshman did it all, scoring 30 points, handing out seven assists, grabbing six rebounds, swatting three shots and picking up a steal in the 100-93 win. He even hit a transition three at the buzzer to end the first half. As scintillating as the highlights were, the numbers are even more impressive. Especially from a historical perspective.

Flagg was the first freshman in NCAA history to have 25 points, five assists and three blocks in a tournament game.
