Kansas Jayhawks vs. Duke Blue Devils | Full Game Highlights | ESPN College Basketball

Inside T-Mobile Arena. It is a sea of blue. What you'd expect. Kansas and Duke. Nine NCAA championships between them. Hunter Dickinson will jump center. Will set the top five for each. But Haman Malawakshu is also another big guy. That 7'2", 250 jumps and it's KU. Kansas in the dark blue. Duke in the white. AJ Storr gets the start. Drives left. That was deflected. Tipped up and in by Dickinson. They spaced the floor five out. They really don't throw it into the post very often. A double flag leaves a wide open shot from the three and it goes. Tyrese Proctor knocks it in. I think the key to this Duke team is the backcourt. He's the junior. Tyrese Proctor. He's not had a breakout game just yet. Flag lost the ball. He dribbled into traffic. The run out. Two on one. Bounce back. Contested and up and in. Dickinson can do it. Three-pointer. It's good. Kansas on fire early from deep. They got the roll. They don't throw it. They instead shoot it and a chance for three. Last year in Wisconsin, 21 games he got to the line four times plus. And I told you early, his aggressiveness is going to be a key. So Malik Brown now in. Nolawatch out and also into the game. Seon James who's had a very good start. Mayo stepped back right on the money. Two teams are playing right now will pay dividends in the next six weeks. Win or lose those tough games. Exactly. Watch the wall here. There it is. It was executed beautifully. And he is getting banged around right now by a veteran, more physically imposing player. Knipple drives. They set it up for Cooper. He had a three. Hesitates now. Mid-range game. And that is really his current strength. Hands on about eight or ten balls a game. Take a look right here. Cooper. We'll see if that happens within this game. It did in that Arizona game. He got banged. He does not get the foul. Yes, he does. And a chance for three. Dickinson goes to his right hand. Good defense by Nolawatch. Foster hard to the rack. That's good. Was not touched by Nolawatch. So has Knipple. He sure has. They've got a run out. Harris. Aggressive. And who's he going to? Corner ball wide open at the top. Store. Money. Pulls up rare. And he knocks down a foul line jumper. That's nice. A little too easy there for the left-handed. Harris's vision to his left shoulder. He's waiting for Dickinson to clear some space. And you talk about two-man basketball. This is excellent. Look at him look. And Nolawatch commits. He throws it over the six-foot-five James. Going Duke's way right now. Those loose balls are staying with him. A 7-0 run. Trying to cut it even further. Brown. Yes, they do. A two-point game after a Brown three. Bill Self. Very good. Sneaky. See what they got. An easy layup. Exactly right. Good call, Franny. Yep. Nobody better. Is it only five years? Oh, it's four. It's five. It's five. This is five. Yep. In the paint. Nice play. Yeah. Big time score. This could be right up Duke's alley to cut this lead. Proctor. Three seconds. Two. Launches. Got it. Is a three-pointer at the buzzer. It's only going to be three. Nolawatch intercepted the first look and then Proctor got it back. Great footwork by Tyrese and it happened because Kansas shot it too quickly. Watch the footwork. Step back in space. Knocks it down. Let's go to Chris. Watch this set right now. It's a staggered double. Knipple's going to be the playmaker. Top shot. He hangs and hits. He's three for three. Yep. A&M leading the team in scoring 89 and 90 and 90 and 91. Bad pass. Here's a steal. Here's Harris. Two chases. Up and in. A 9-0 run for Kansas. Adjustment midair on that pass. He was looking at Nolawatch and the three from the corner right in front of the bench. That one will fall for Proctor. He's open and he knocked it down. It's not been his strength. He shot about 22 percent from three. Mayo. Nice little slip pass Dickinson. Gets the friendly roll. Soft touch. Here he is again. Brown making a difference. Three on one. Alley-oop. Nice play by Knipple and great help from the star of the game. Adams again with a block. Because we see this a lot in the Big 12. Watch this play by K.J. Adams. That's like letting him become a great basketball player How about a 6-7 guy, Chris, with a stick in his hand. Who had bad intentions. Coit knocks down a three as he re-enters the game. Left for that three and it goes to Tyrese. Tyrese Proctor. He's got four threes. Keep in a minute. Six-point game as we head to break. They're on their own 7-0 run. Brad comes over to help. Dickinson misses a bunny and they're going to keep it here. Now a little mix-up on the floor. Yeah, that's going to be a foul on Malik Brown because he undercut Dickinson on the shot. Take a look. Watch Dickinson. He gets great position. Brown does a good job and Dickinson. Oh, we got more stuff going on. Yeah, he got him with his one of those shoes that he put back on right there. Okay, the call on the floor stands. There's a foul on number six for Duke. Number one for Kansas is ejected with a flagrant two technical foul. Wow. Wow. Wow. Shoot two free throws and get the ball underneath the basket with 20 on the shot clock. So they took it even further. Yeah, went from one to a two and ejected him. Good kick and a good three. Procter-Berry sit in front of the Duke bench. Knipple's got five assists in this one. It's a lane to alley-oop. That's what Padunga can do. Same play now. Here comes Flagg. Two-man pick and roll. The roll. Oh! Dance with who brung you. This play has been very good. It's been Knipple, Flagg, middle of the court, and take a look at Cooper take off. That time he is left alone. The three-two strong. Procter had it. It's loose and they got a three-on- one. Up and in. Pretty play. Made contact with the head of Malik Brown on the ground. That's an open three. Zion James sees it go through. Five seconds on the shot clock. We're way out top. Here's Flagg. There's a flush. Nice job by Knipple who picks up another assist. Stindenman sitting on the bench and there's no defense for Cooper Flagg down low. Blow-by. Pretty play, Harris. He finds Griffin. That's good. Yes, it is. Good call right on line. Mayo stuck in there. Griffin. Yes! And a block. He's got a chance for a three-point play. Rylan Griffin. They have now a watch. He grabs it and he throws it down. Great job. Kansas needed to rotate quicker. They better go quick. Shire said that to him. Go. Flagg. Left hand. What a shot. Oh man. We want him to get downhill with force and not quite body-to-body but this is a great finish with the left hand. Take a look. See that? Taking it away. The drive. The kick. Mayo's got to put it up. Yep. Oh, he got the friendly Las Vegas roll. Big time height advantage. Flagg, he had it and he lost it. Shades of Arizona game right there. He spins too much. Kentucky game. He spins and loses it. Mayo with five. Right into Flagg. Gets him off his feet. No good. Loose ball. Knipple with a board. Knipple first. Flagg nearly fell down. Knipple spinning. He got stuck up in the air and he turned it over. Rylan Griffin has it. Foul on Duke. Knipple had nowhere to go. As Khan Knipple went up to shoot it and I think it was KJ Adams. He was like a ghost that came out of nowhere and Knipple had to pass it. Watch him spin now. It's Adams. Watch his hands, Adams. And Bedunga did a good job also but KJ would not let him get the shot off. Watch the verticality here by KJ and that's what I mean by playing with force and physicality. You cannot double pump at this level. Flagg, Malawatch, Knipple and Proctor. Jones to inbounds. Here they go. They try to get it to Flagg. It's Malawatch. He hands. Knipple's three. Oh! Off the back iron and it does not fall. The Jayhawks survive. They stay unbeaten. They win 75-72 in a thriller. The first option looked like it was Flagg. Yep. Knipple was 0 for 7 from 3. He ends up 0 for 8 and nearly knocked it in off the window. He got a good look. You're right. It was a flare screen for Flagg to the opposite side. Kansas guarded that and then Khan got a good look. Listen, as a coach all you can do is put your kids in a position to tie it or win it. And what a game and what a win by Kansas without Hunter Dickinson in the last 10 minutes.
