Before we arrive in 2025, let's take a look at what Duke basketball did in the 2024 portion of its schedule and what's ahead for the Blue Devils.

There's never been a safer bet than Cooper Flagg to become ACC Rookie of the Year. That was true in the preseason, as the Duke basketball freshman sensation arrived in Durham as a projected one-and-done talent and No.

Duke basketball coach Jon Scheyer kept going back to one word as he described Cooper Flagg's performance against George Mason.

Duke spent its first 12 games perfecting a defense that’s proven lethal, while working out the kinks of an offense that’s showing signs of being strong, as well.

So, in wrapping up his postgame talk to the team, Scheyer essentially directed Duke basketball rookie giant and all-smiles 2024-25 Blue Devil entertainer Khaman Maluach to choose the best way to ensure Flagg would become red in the face.

With its comeback win at Louisville, Duke basketball accomplished a first under Jon Scheyer. Here's a look at that stat, plus Cooper Flagg's stats.
