“I ain’t been this sad in a long time bruh wtf!!” he wrote shortly after the game ended, clearly shaken by how things turned out.
Parsons has been one of Flagg’s most vocal supporters this season and was hoping to see the freshman phenom lead Duke to a national title. With the Blue Devils now eliminated, he’ll have to wait another year.
As for Parsons, his attention now shifts back to football, where questions about his contract and future with the Cowboys continue to swirl. But for one night, it was clear: Cooper Flagg and Duke’s Final Four run had his full support—and their loss hit home.
