Top-ranked Duke and the Atlantic Coast Conference have informed the NCAA Tournament selection committee that freshman Cooper Flagg will be available for March Madness, NCAA senior vice president for basketball Dan Gavitt said Saturday.

Duke, the No. 1 seed in the East region, is expecting to have star freshman Cooper Flagg for the NCAA Tournament beginning this week.

There's some promising news for Cooper Flagg ahead of the NCAA Tournament. While the forward is still out for the Duke Blue Devils ACC Final matchup against the Louisville Cardinals due to an ankle sprain, he should be back in the lineup soon for Jon Scheyer’s team.
