The Duke Blue Devils are the best team in the nation right now. They’re the No. 1 seed for a reason, and they’ve crushed their way to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.
Nonetheless, they’re not undefeated, and anything can happen in a win-or-go-home situation, which is why some are worried about their lack of experience at this stage.
Even so, as much as he acknowledges that they’ve been in some close games and have failed to execute at times, Cooper Flagg believes that has only helped them build some character.
Cooper Flagg is unbothered by the skepticism
“I think what I would say is that we had some early close games,” Flagg said. “We’ve had some moments that we’ve been in throughout this year that I think we’ve kind of taken and learned from. And some were losses, I think all three of them. We had some good late-game situations that we definitely watched a lot of film on and learned from. I think just by executing and taking what we learned from those games.”

Flagg has been nothing short of spectacular this season, and he’s taken his game up a notch in the tournament. Despite being a freshman, he’s clearly not afraid of big moments.
