Potential NBA first-overall pick Cooper Flagg finished the loss with 13 points, five rebounds, three assists and one steal while shooting 5/9 from the field and 1/1 from the three-point range.
Many people reacted to his performance.
@Dueycbb: “Everyone in the media needs to stop with calling Cooper Flagg a generational talent, he’s just a good player
Both guys at Rutgers are better”

@AndyLy_1: “Man Cooper Flagg has got to learn how to take care of the ball late. That turnover was absolutely devastating for Duke. I understand he is only a freshman but he did the same thing against Kentucky. Simply being careless about the ball caused them this game.”

@HeelsYes: “Exactly like the UK game, Cooper Flagg can’t handle pressure. Misses a huge free throw and a costly turnover within the last two minutes.
Super talented, but he’s not clutch.”
