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.
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.
Thursday night the third-ranked Duke Blue Devils, led by freshman Cooper Flagg, cruised to an 88-63 victory over Boston College.
Flagg is averaging 19 points, eight rebounds, and four assists for the Blue Devils, who are 15-2 and have won 11 games in a row.
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.
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.

After a trio of home wins, the Blue Devils are back on the road to take on Boston College. In front of a roaring crowd at Conte Pavilion, Duke heads into the halftime locker room leading the Eagles 40-34.
As he made shots rain down in Conte Forum, No. 3 Duke men’s basketball stormed to a 88-63 conference victory on the road against Boston College.
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.
According to a report from ESPN’s college football senior writer Pete Thamel, Boston College’s defensive line coach Jeff Comissiong will not return to the program next season. “Sources: Boston College defensive line coach Jeff Comissiong will not return in 2025,” wrote Thamel via X. “The Eagles are searching for a new defensive line coach.”
Cooper Flagg scored 28 points to lead No. 3 Duke to its 12th straight victory, an 88-63 win over Boston College.
