DURHAM, N.C. -- Cooper Flagg scored an Atlantic Coast Conference freshman record 42 points to help No. 4 Duke hold off Notre Dame 86-78 on Saturday and stay unbeaten in conference play.
The 6-foot-9 preseason Associated Press All-American made 11 of 14 shots, 4 of 6 3-pointers and 16 of 17 foul shots. He also had seven assists and six rebounds, turning in an all-around floor game that had him single-handedly wearing down the Notre Dame defense.
Flagg has now made 12 of 22 3-pointers in his past six games. He was just 8 of 36 in his first 10 college games.
Khaman Maluach added a season-high 19 points for Duke (14-2, 6-0).
