Sun Jan 19 01:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Maine Phenom Cooper Flagg Leads Duke to Sold-Out Boston Showdown
**BOSTON, MA** – All eyes will be on 18-year-old freshman Cooper Flagg tonight as his third-ranked Duke Blue Devils face off against Boston College Eagles at Conte Forum in a sold-out game. The Newport, Maine native is averaging an impressive 19 points, eight rebounds, and four assists, leading a Duke team on an 11-game winning streak (15-2 overall).
Flagg recently shattered a conference freshman single-game scoring record with a 42-point performance against Notre Dame. “I was just out there playing,” Flagg modestly stated after the game.
The game, the closest Duke will play to Flagg’s home state all season, has generated unprecedented hype. Boston College reported an all-time high number of media credentials requested, and ticket prices surged nearly 50 percent above Duke’s average road game prices, according to Victory Live.
Flagg and his teammates took in Friday night’s Boston Celtics game at TD Garden before gearing up for tonight’s 8 p.m. tip-off, which will be televised on ESPN. NEWS CENTER Maine will have a crew on hand to cover the highly anticipated matchup.
