NCAA Reveals Major Cooper Flagg Announcement After National Championship
The NCAA Tournament has officially concluded, with the Florida Gators winning the national title over the Houston Cougars.
Following a 65-63 win for Florida over Houston in the national championship, the NCAA posted the All-Tournament team, highlighting the best players throughout March Madness.
While there were four players, Walter Clayton Jr., Will Richard, LJ Cryer and J'Wan Roberts included in the top five, Duke's Cooper Flagg was the only outlier.
"The All-Tournament Team," posted the official social media page of NCAA March Madness.
Flagg was named to the All-Tournament after leading the Duke Blue Devils to the Final Four, before losing to Houston.

Flagg led Duke to wins over Alabama, Arizona, Baylor and Mount Saint Mary's earlier in the NCAA Tournament.
During what many believe will be his final game with the Blue Devils, a 70-67 loss to Houston in the Final Four, Flagg posted 27 points, seven rebounds and four assists.
He capped off his freshman season at Duke averaging 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game.
Flagg is predicted to become the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft by nearly every major outlet and college basketball analyst.
He originally committed to Duke as the No. 1 overall player in the class of 2024 and it seems he'll continue with that tag when that draft rolls around.
