Flagg's Mother Refuses to Participate in the Magic of March Madness Brackets
In March, American sports fans explode with excitement for the arrival of March Madness. The great college basketball tournament has a big tradition: filling out Brackets. Fans, new followers, and countless others compete by making predictions for the big event.
Cooper Flagg's mother, Kelly Flagg, has a lot of confidence in what Duke will do in March Madness and, together with her husband Ralph Flagg, decided not to fill out a bracket for the first time in a decade.
"It doesn't feel right," she said. "We know who's going to win and I don't want to take everyone's money that easily."
Thus, the Flagg family broke a great tradition. However, they will be ing Duke and especially their son in this great tournament, which will undoubtedly capture the attention of fans.
Cooper Flagg's Injury Continues to Cause Uncertainty

Despite Flagg's injury, the Duke Blue Devils are the heavy favorites to win the championship this year, although March Madness history has given us some catastrophic stories, so they can't afford to be overconfident at any moment.
