Few freshmen have the amount of success that Cooper Flagg has had this season while playing for the Duke Blue Devils. He’s done that coming from small-town Maine where it’s rare to find star basketball players.

Duke freshman Cooper Flagg won’t be making it all the way up to Maine, so his fans trekked to Chestnut Hill on Saturday night to see the likely No. 1 overall draft pick play Boston College in his only game in New England this season.

For the seventh time this season, Duke basketball star and Maine native Cooper Flagg was named ACC Rookie of the Week.

Flagg scored a game-high 28 points and settled down after an early injury scare and missing four of his first five shots. Chad Venning led Boston College with 19 points.

Flagg scored 28 points, five rebounds, and four assists for the Blue Devils, who are 16-2 and have won 12 games in a row.

The No. 3 Blue Devils and freshman phenom Cooper Flagg of Newport, Maine, took the court against the Eagles as a consensus 23.5-point favorite with an over/under betting line of 138.5.

Flagg's appearance in Chestnut Hill is drawing plenty of interest, thanks both to his growing national stardom and his local roots. The game has been sold out since December, and the get-in price is over $160.

It was a bit of a homecoming for Maine native Cooper Flagg on Saturday as the Duke Blue Devils made the trip to Chestnut Hill to take on the Boston College Eagles.

As shared by the Boston Herald's Zack Cox, the ticket map at the Eagles' Conte Forum for Saturday is staggering. The current get-in price on Gametime is $140—with tickets going for as high as $2,094 (!). Cooper Flagg — Maine native and projected No. 1 NBA draft pick — plays at BC tomorrow night. Tickets are … not cheap. pic.twitter.com/Zb185XlmyL
