Duke continued its winning streak Tuesday with an 89-54 win over Miami to make it 11 straight.

On the heels of a monster 42-point night, star stud Cooper Flagg didn’t have quite the same offensive showcase, but he still put together a solid game. He finished with 13 points, seven rebounds and six assists to help propel the Blue Devils’ No. 3 for another win.

While Flagg hit all the shots for Duke on Saturday against Notre Dame, it was fellow freshman Kon Knueppel who led the way Tuesday with his 25 points.

After another dominant win, fans had high praise for Flagg, Knueppel and the Blue Devils.

Cooper Flagg should be a legitimate no. 1 Draft pick in 2025 without a shadow of a doubt

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA

The first half was some of the best basketball Kon Knueppel has played since the season opener.
Cooper Flagg also makes the right play time and time again. Not forcing shots, even coming off the monster play last time.

This is just a reminder that Cooper Flagg reclassified to come to Duke (and the NBA) a year earlier
Dude could still shred guys in high school

Sam the Pats Fan @Samuel DaHooper

It’s been a while since I’ve seen a complete Duke game
This team’s ball movement, especially in the half court, is so much better than it was a month ago
The defense is still elite, even without Maliq (get well soon )
Cooper Flagg is Cooper Flagg
Nobody wants to see them in March!

25 points on 9-11 from the field for Kon Knueppel in Duke’s destruction of Miami. Copper Flagg isn’t the only rookie on this team!

Flagg has lived up to the hype he brought with him to the collegiate level so far. He is averaging 19.1 points, 8.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game and seems to only get better each week.

Knueppel has been somewhat overlooked with Flagg getting most of the attention, but he also had a solid freshman year with 12.7 ppg. match.

The Blue Devils improved to 15-2 with Tuesday’s win and will look to continue their winning streak on Saturday when they face Boston College.
