CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Freshman star Cooper Flagg of Newport, Maine, had 17 points and 14 rebounds, notching his seventh double-double of the season before halftime, as No. 3 Duke cruised past Virginia 80-62 on Monday night.
The Blue Devils (23-3, 15-1 ACC), who also got 17 points from Kon Knueppel, have won three straight since their lone conference loss Feb. 8 at No. 18 Clemson.
Andrew Rohde had 15 points, five rebounds and five assists for the Cavaliers (13-13, 6-9).
Duke forward Maliq Brown, who grew up in Virginia about an hour from Charlottesville, sustained an apparent left shoulder injury with 1:21 left in the first half. He immediately headed to the locker room and did not return.
The junior transfer from Syracuse had two points, two assists and a rebound in 10 minutes.
