Game Notes

1H 18:00 – Cooper Flagg, the Duke freshman, is aggressive early. The No. 1 ranked player in On3’s 2024 class, has a lot of expectations. This is his first high major experience in college. Only two minutes in and Flagg has the Cameron Crazies loud. – Duke 8, Arizona State 4

1H 15:56 – Timeout – Duke 10, Arizona State 4

1H 12:15 – Khaman Maluach is massive, and that has been an issue early has been an issue early for Arizona State. Listed at 7-foot-2, the Duke freshman has multipole dunks and he has been a presence around the rim. With a 7-foot-9 wing span, Maluach plays within himself. He has also shown good hands, playing out of the dunker spot, and rising up to finish above the rim. A true paint presence. – Duke 16, Arizona State 8

1H 10:58 – Arizona State freshman Jayden Quaintance has been very active early on. While his shot has not fallen early, he has attacked the glass on both ends and been a presence around the basket. Quaintance, only 17 years old, is a strong and explosive player and is playing with an instinctive motor early on. – Duke 18, Arizona State 8

1H 7:05 – This Duke team is playing with excellent spacing to this point. The ball is staying hot around the perimeter and while the shots are not falling, they are getting clean looks. More importantly, they are getting a lot of open passing lanes and one-on-one coverage. – Duke 25, Arizona State 10
