SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Cooper Flagg and his Duke teammates were days away from clinching a spot in the Final Four, and the Blue Devils’ freshman star was planning ahead. It wasn’t about anything on the court, though. It was to be ready the next time teammates Khaman Maluach and Patrick Ngongba broke out water guns at the cold tubs. “I’m definitely ordering one as well,” Flagg said with a grin, a nod to the fact that he’s still “just being a kid.” Maybe so, but the the 18-year-old’s game has been far more advanced than his age from the…
