Cooper Flagg opens up about the end of his college career
Cooper Flagg is preparing for Wednesday's NBA draft, where he is the consensus No. 1 pick. He also reflected on how his college career ended. Flagg talked to Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated about his lone collegiate campagn ending at the Final Four.
In his freshman season with Duke, Flagg led the Blue Devils in every major statistical category. He guided the team to a top seed in the NCAA Tournament, but Duke didn't win a national title.

The Blue Devils were up six points with 35 seconds remaining against No. 1-seeded Houston. A 3-pointer by the Cougars and a dunk cut Duke's lead to one. Flagg was fouled in the next possession and Houston took the lead with two free-throws.
Flagg took the final shot. He pulled up from nine feet and missed off the front of the rim.
“I’m not going to beat myself up over whether I could have taken one more dribble or whether I could have done something different,” Flagg said on Wednesday. “It was a tough shot, but I don’t think you’re going to get an easy shot in that opportunity. If you look at any game-winner at any level, I don’t think there’s a lot of wide-open (ones). You get to a spot, you raise up, and you trust the work that you put in over time. I’m just going to live with what I trusted.”Flagg has come to terms with the end of his March Madness run and now looks ahead to his professional career.
