Duke basketball best photos from the victory over Arizona on Friday

The Duke Blue Devils walked out of McKale Memorial Center with a 69-55 victory over the No. 17 Arizona Wildcats on Friday night, their first top-25 win of the season.

Cooper Flagg continued his impressive freshman season with 24 points, including 16 in the second half. The 6-foot-9 freshman phenom added six rebounds, three assists, two blocks, and a steal to his final tally, and he once again took over the game for Duke in the second half. From 12:31 to 5:20 left in the game, Flagg scored all 10 of the team’s points to fend off an Arizona comeback attempt.

Fellow five-star freshman Kon Knueppel made three 3-pointers in the second half to end with 13, but Blue Devils fans probably drew the most satisfaction from the struggles of one Arizona star. Caleb Love, a former North Carolina Tar Heels star who beat Duke five times in his first eight career meetings, ended with eight points after he missed eight of his nine 3-point attempts in the loss.
