The hardest job at the Final Four? Pretending to be Cooper Flagg.
As Houston prepares to take on Duke and its generational star in a national semifinal Saturday, Cougars scout team players are trying their best to emulate their opponent in practice.
The Houston Cougars do a lot well. They defend like they have seven players instead of five. They have nailed at least eight three-pointers in each of their past eight games.
