In Duke's match against Notre Dame, Cooper Flagg was unavoidable. The post Trouble Calls for Duke as Coach Jon Scheyer Delivers Distressing Update on Cooper Flagg’s Teammate appeared first on EssentiallySports.

That's not all. Flagg also became the first Duke basketball talent to record at least 35 points, five rebounds, and five assists in any game since his head coach, Jon Scheyer, dropped 36 points, eight rebounds, and nine assists in a home win over Gardner-Webb on Dec. 15, 2009.

The SMU game is the first game Scheyer, who is in his third season as Duke’s head coach, missed since taking over the program following Mike Krzyzewski’s retirement in 2022. He never missed a game during his Duke playing career from 2006-10, when he appeared in 144 games.
