00:00At a treat tonight, Cooper Flagg back on the court any time he is.

00:02He's must watch Duke is 14 and a half point favorites over Pitt tonight.

00:06The Blue Devils ranked fourth in the country.

00:09Cooper Flagg has lived up to virtually all the billing this season.

00:12He's been one of the most watched players in all of college basketball, hasn't he?

00:16He's fantastic.

00:17There is nothing on a basketball floor at which he is not elite, just a complete player.

00:24And to have that as a freshman, to be honest with you, he acted 15.

00:28So I guess I'm not surprised he has it as a freshman in college.

00:31It's just a fabulous basketball player.

00:33I keep seeing other players projected.

00:36Oh, this will be the guy that they'll take one overall.

00:38That'll be the guy they take one overall.

00:41But if it's anybody but Cooper Flagg, I think the team that selects the other player will end up regretting it.

00:48Cooper Flagg is a rare prospect in American basketball.

00:52It's been a very long time since we've had someone hit his level.

00:56He's got everything.

00:57And it's going to be a real challenge for Pitt.

01:01Cam Coren, a guy who plays mostly around the goal.

01:04Can he be mobile enough to deal with Coop on the perimeter?

01:09Or do they have to go with Guillermo Diaz-Graham, who's not as physically tough?

01:13It's a real challenge for the Panthers.

01:16I'm not sure about the number.

01:17That's a big number.

01:19The one I initially saw was a much more comfortable number.

01:23But Duke needs this game.

01:24They don't hardly have any quad one games the rest of the season.

01:28They have three total as it stands now with where the teams are and none until February.

01:33So they need this one.

01:35And I think they'll go and get it.
