Duke Blue Devils freshman star Cooper Flagg on Tuesday night had perhaps his most iconic moment yet as a college basketball player, throwing down an early candidate for dunk of the year. In the second half with 17:35 remaining, Flagg, showing off his two-way abilities, picked off a pass from Pitt guard Jaland Lowe and took the ball coast-to-coast past Lowe towards the basket, where only Panthers 7-footer Guillermo Diaz Graham was standing in his way.

Flagg rose up and threw down a vicious poster dunk over Graham, electrifying the crowd at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
