Cooper Flagg Stats Tonight: How did Duke star fare vs Florida State (Mar 1)

Cooper Flagg finished with 16 points, six rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block, helping No. 2 Duke (26-3, 17-1) beat Florida State (16-13, 7-11) 100-65 on Saturday at the Cameron Indoor Stadium.

Flagg shot 5-of-9 from the field and 6-of-6 from the free throw line but his night was affected by an eye injury that forced him to sit out for more than 11 minutes in the first half. The injury, which Duke coach Jon Scheyer declared was a bruised eyelid, happened when Flagg was fouled by Jerry Deng when the 6-foot-9 guard-forward was moving toward the line.

Seven-foot freshman Alier Maluk struck Flagg on the face during the sequence and was helped by teammate Mason Gillis and trainer Jose Fonseca. The freshman walked off the court for treatment and was in and out of the gym to undergo further tests.

Flagg came up with four points, three rebounds and two assists in the first half for Duke, which was up 47-30. In the second half, the Newport, Maine native bounced back from that unfortunate incident, scoring 12 points on three layups and six free throws and adding three rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in the second half.

Here are Cooper Flagg's final stats in Duke's win over Florida State:
