Part 3/5:
Against Notre Dame’s defense, Flag demonstrated remarkable skill and versatility. His blend of aggressive drives and shooting precision kept the Irish on their heels throughout the game. With a powerful slam dunk that required agility and strength, he highlighted his athleticism early on. As he navigated through the defenders, it was evident that his size and skill allowed him to dominate the paint effectively.
Flag's growing confidence was palpable as he quickly approached his previous season high, ultimately leading to a standout performance with 42 points—setting a new ACC freshman record. His ability to consistently score from various positions on the court, whether through mid-range jumpers or strong drives to the hoop, kept the Blue Devils in the driver's seat.
