Flagg, a 6-foot-8 forward, finished with 21 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists and two blocks in the win. His twin brother, Ace, was the difference-maker, leading his team with 22 points , 11 rebounds and only one turnover. Guard Landon Clark was also a top performer with 19 points, including five 3-pointers.
"It's great playing together," Ace Flagg said."We have a good connection on the court, obviously, so it's easy to play together and I always know where he wants the ball and vice versa. We grew up competing against one another and it's just pushed us both to be better players." Boozer and Flagg are ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, in the 2025 high school class and have competed against one another at a high level the last two years.
