Duke freshman Cooper Flagg enters the NCAA Tournament as the biggest star heading into March Madness. He's also hobbled by a sprained left ankle suffered in the Blue Devils' run to the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament title. The 6-foot-9, 205-pound Flagg is a versatile player who leads the East Region's No. 1 seed in scoring, rebounding, assists, blocks and steals. Flagg missed the last two games of the ACC Tournament. But coach Jon Scheyer has expressed optimism that Flagg could be ready to play by Friday's first-round game against the American-Mount St. Mary's winner.
