Duke Blue Devils freshman phenom Cooper Flagg put on a show Saturday afternoon at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

In 36 minutes, Flagg went off for 42 points, seven assists and six rebounds while shooting 11-of-14 from the field and 4-of-6 from deep to help Duke defeat Notre Dame 86–78. It was by far the best game of his freshman season, as his previous career high was a 26-point effort in Duke's loss to Kentucky back on Nov. 11, and he had never drained more than two three-pointers in a single game.
