Flagg made 11 of 14 shots in roughly 36 minutes, including 4 of 6 3-pointers to continue his recent improved long-range touch. He saw work as the primary ballhandler and, taking advantage of mismatches to draw 13 fouls and get to the line 17 times while Notre Dame had just 16 attempts as a team. “They’ve got the right mix of guys with him,” Notre Dame coach Micah Shrewsberry said. “If they had him and they didn’t have shooting or they had people that needed the ball and were ball-dominant, then it probably wouldn’t work. But they’ve done a good job evaluating and finding the right people to put around him, so it makes him a really tough matchup.”
It marked only the second technical foul of Scheyer’s three-year head-coaching career, though he was focused on making a larger point. By Saturday’s horn, Flagg had surpassed the previous ACC freshman record of 41 points from Boston College’s Olivier Hanlan against Georgia Tech in the 2013 ACC Tournament. Only two other freshmen in league history, both from North Carolina, have reached the 40-point mark: Tyler Hansbrough in February 2006 and Harrison Barnes in the 2011 ACC Tournament.
