Cooper Flagg’s groundbreaking performance against Notre Dame, where he scored 42 points, shooting a remarkable 11-for-14 from the field broke many records.
His recent performances have also earned him a well-deserved back-to-back ACC Player of the Week award and a nomination for the Naismith Men’s College Player of the Week.
