Flagg capped off the game with a massive dunk over a UNC player.
His mother, Kelly Flagg, could be seen celebrating the dunk by patting the top of her head, and she appeared to say “on his f***ing head.”
After the game, Kelly took to social media to apologize for her language, but also to fire back at UNC fans.
“I want to apologize to anyone who was offended by my language that was caught in a celebratory moment,” she said.

“I do realize that it wasn’t my best look. However, if you actually know me and are a real friend of mine you weren’t shocked.
“It was a very intense situation we were put into and we were taken aback by the crudeness of the UNC fans as we made our way into the arena,’ she continued before referencing Cooper’s twin brother, Ace, who is still a high school senior and expected to play for Maine next season.
“They continued to harass us with much worse being spewed in our direction as well as at our 18 year old son and his teammates throughout the entirety of the game.
“The celebration was a moment of being so proud of our kid and also a big F-you to the entire Carolina fan base for being classless a-holes.
“If you are UNC fan and didn’t like it… tough [poop emoji]! Better luck next time! Go Duke.”
Flagg is lighting up college basketball this season while playing at just 18 years old.
The freshman stands at 6-foot-10 and is projected to become the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA Draft in June.
In the game against UNC, Flagg had 15 points, nine rebounds, and six assists.
He is averaging 19.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game this year.
Flagg is the favorite for the Naismith Award, the trophy given to the best basketball player in the country after the season.
He would be just the fourth men’s basketball player to win the award as a freshman.
Flagg is already racking up awards in his conference, nearly sweeping the ACC trophies.
He won ACC Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year, and was named to the All-ACC First Team, All-Defensive Team, and All-Rookie Team.
The only award he didn’t win was ACC Defensive Player of the Year, which went to Louisville’s Chucky Hepburn.
