Duke phenom Cooper Flagg got a standing ovation from the Cameron Indoor faithful on Monday night in what may have been his final home game in a Blue Devil uniform.
Last month, Flagg admitted that he "want[ed]" to come back" to Durham next season – but being the projected No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft doesn't exactly make that likely.
The "Cameron Crazies" know that fact, so as he was taken out of the game in the final minutes, they hit him with chants of "one more year."

Flagg said he "for sure" heard the chants, but was murky about his future with the team.
"I mean, I'm living in the present right now, living in the moment, taking it day by day," he said. "I don't know what the future holds."
"I mean, this is the best place in college basketball for sure," Flagg added. "I've loved every single minute of being here. I've loved everybody I've met, everybody I've been around for this whole year. It's been an amazing year."
When the time came for him to check out with 3:34 left, he slapped hands with teammates Sion James and Isaiah Evans, then started untucking his jersey as he made his way to the Duke bench. He greeted coach Jon Scheyer with a high-five and a hug, then made his way down the bench embracing coaches, staffers and teammates as the crowd began asking for an unlikely second act next season.
