Cooper Flagg Stats Tonight: How did Duke star fare vs Incarnate Word (Dec. 10) 

Cooper Flagg came up with his lowest point output of the season, but that didn't matter much in the end as the Duke Blue Devils beat Incarnate Word 72-46 to pick up its fourth straight win on Tuesday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, North Carolina.

The blue-chip freshman scored six points on 2-of-8 shooting and 2-of-2 from the free throw line for his lowest total of the 2024-25 college basketball season. The 6-foot-9 Newport, Maine native also tallied eight rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 22 minutes, as his teammates picked up the slack to help the Blue Devils earn their eighth win in 10 games.

Flagg had a hand in Duke's first field goal of the night, assisting Khaman Maluach, who finished with a dunk for a 2-1 lead. He scored his first two points on a layup at the 15:13 mark to give the Jon Scheyer-coached squad a 7-5 edge.

The freshman helped increase Duke's lead to five after he found Tyrese Proctor open for a triple. He'd sky high for a block that preserved the Blue Devils 12-8 lead with 9:06 left in the first half in a low-scoring affair.

Flagg picked up his fourth point, two minutes later on a jumper that kept Duke on top, 16-12. That was the last point he scored in the opening half as he misfired on his last three attempts.

The Montverde Academy standout continued to play off the ball and let his hot teammates do the damage on Incarnate Word in the second half. He'd pick up two rebounds early and record a steal that put him on the free throw line after he was fouled by Jalin Anderson.

Flagg would convert on his two foul shots for his fifth and sixth points and Duke increased its lead to 18 (39-21) with 15:34 left in the game. He'll get subbed out minutes later as the Cardinals couldn't get near the Blue Devils' double-digit spread.
