Cooper Flagg scored 42 points and broke Duke’s single-game scoring record<\/a> by a freshman during the Blue Devils’ 86-78 win<\/a> over Notre Dame on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The highly touted Flagg moved past Zion Williamson (35 points, 2019 vs. Syracuse) on Duke’s all-time list among freshmen. He also became the first Duke player to reach the 40-point mark in a game since JJ Redick did it against Virginia in January 2006, and Flagg also set the ACC freshman record.<\/p>\n

Jared McCain (35), Redick (34) and Marvin Bagley III (34) are next on the Blue Devils’ single-game freshman scoring list.<\/p>\n

While reaching the 30-point and 40-point marks for the first time with No. 4 Duke, Flagg hit a career-high four 3-pointers, 11 shots from the field and 17 free throws. He also matched a career-high with seven assists and threw down another big dunk.<\/p>\n

Flagg and the Blue Devils will look to extend their 10-game winning streak on Tuesday against the Miami Hurricanes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
