Kansas is headed to Final Four after outlasting Duke in overtime | The Wichita Eagle

Kansas, which won the NCAA men's basketball championship in 2008 in San Antonio, is headed back to the Alamodome 10 years later for a shot at another title.

The Jayhawks (31-7), the No. 1 seed in the Midwest Regional for the third straight year, put to rest any talk of an Elite Eight hex by downing No. 2 seed Duke 85-81 in overtime in the Midwest Regional final on Sunday at CenturyLink Center.

Malik Newman scored 32 points (26 in the second half and overtime), including a three from the corner that gave KU an 81-78 lead with 1:39 left in overtime.
