Duke vs. Kansas: Box score, stats and summary feat. Hunter Dickinson (Nov. 26) 

Terry’s Chocolate Vegas Showdown had a battle of elite programs as the top-ranked Kansas Jayhawks secured a 75-72 win over the No. 11 Duke Blue Devils. The Jayhawks were able to win despite seeing center Hunter Dickinson getting ejected for a flagrant-2 foul after kicking Maliq Brown in the head midway through the second half of the game.

Kansas (6-0) were able to win without their best player on the court down the stretch and this could be a massive point going forward that shows this Jayhawks team can compete with the elite teams even when a player is in foul trouble or injured.

Duke (4-2) needs to figure out how to be competitive against some of the elite programs as they are now 1-2 against ranked teams this season and 3-0 against unranked programs.

Here's a closer look at the box scores for this game and break down exactly what happened.

Kansas vs. Duke Game Summary

The Jayhawks had a great offensive showing as the team had a shooting split of 49.1/47.1/91.7 in the game. That is impressive in itself, but with your star player not on the court for a significant amount of time due to his ejection, that makes it even better.

Kansas had 31 total rebounds, including 10 offensive and assisted on 22 of the 28 made baskets. The Jayhawks also stepped up with 12 steals and four blocks with their ability to rebound proving to be the difference in the game.

The Duke Blue Devils were able to do well offensively as they were 24-of-48 (50.0%) throughout the game, 11-of-26 (42.3%) from the 3-point line and 13-of-18 (72.2%) from the free throw line. The Blue Devils were able to grab 25 total rebounds and forced 11 steals.

Duke stepped up but there were not too many aspects they were able to do better at. Kon Knueppel almost made a prayer of a game-winning shot that eventually rattled out.
