DURHAM, N.C. -- Freshman Cooper Flagg had 28 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists in possibly his final home game, helping No. 2 Duke beat Wake Forest 93-60 on Monday night to clinch at least a share of the Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season title.
Fellow freshman Kon Knueppel added 17 points for the Blue Devils (27-3, 18-1 ACC), who led 40-27 at halftime and then blew the game open midway through the second half.
Duke led 47-38 before going on an 18-3 tear. That included a burst of 3 three-pointers, the first from Sion James followed by a pair on consecutive possessions by Mason Gillis that pushed Duke ahead 65-41.
The 6-foot-9 Flagg, a potential No. 1 overall NBA draft pick, checked out with 3:34 left. He greeted Coach Jon Scheyer with a high-five and a hug as Duke's "Cameron Crazies" chanted "One more year! One more year!"
Efton Reid III and Ty-Laur Johnson each scored 14 points to lead the Demon Deacons (20-10, 12-7).
Duke is a win away from taking the ACC regular-season championship outright and can clinch the title with a win at rival North Carolina on Saturday.
