After winning the ACC regular season title and the ACC Tournament, No. 1 seed Duke is headed to the Elite Eight for the second consecutive season. During this time, Cooper Flagg has cemented himself as one of the best freshmen in college basketball history, a fact which has been clearly highlighted during the NCAA Tournament.

Cooper Flagg, Mark Sears and college basketball's biggest stars shined on an offense-heavy night in the Sweet 16.

Flagg has 30 points, six rebounds and seven assists and the top-seeded Blue Devils hold off an onslaught from Wildcats star Caleb Love (35 points) in a 100-93 win to reach the East Regional final.

Thursday was Flagg's true breakout of the postseason: 30 points on 9-of-19 shooting, seven assists, six rebounds, three blocks and a steal.

The Duke Blue Devils are heading to the Elite Eight, having dominated their opponents during the NCAA Tournament, led by freshman Cooper Flagg. Flagg and fellow freshman Kon Knueppel have been putting on a show for the Blue Devils.

Duke's All-American freshman posted 30 points, six rebounds and seven assists. He tied his career-high seven assists, proving to be an all-around talent in the Sweet 16 elimination game. Flagg entered the game as a finalist for the Naismith National Player of the Year award and he may have just put the final touches on any voters contemplating their decision.

The ACC set a record for NCAA Tournament futility on Friday, as No. 11 seed North Carolina's 71-64 loss to No. 6 seed Ole Miss left Duke as the conference's only team left in the field. It marks the first time since the NCAA Tournament added at-large bids that there won't be multiple ACC teams in the second round.
