So after having some time to reflect on this iteration of the Champions Classic Duke vs Kansas I have to admit I came away impressed with both teams. Duke wrestled the game away from Kansas 78-66, but the most impressive thing about this game was the sticktoitiveness of both teams. Starting with Kansas, even without their leading scorer and potential first pick in the draft Darryn Peterson, Kansas took it to Duke in the first quarter (yes I know the game isn’t in quarters) of the game, going up by as much as 6 points by playing disruptive and opportunistic defense.
