Champions Classic was last night

0:38.4

inside Madison Square Garden, Midtown, Manhattan, New York City. Matt Norlander was there for the

0:44.0

doubleheader. Why don't we start with Duke 78, Kansas 66. The Blue Devils won by 12. Camer

0:50.7

18 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists. What assists what you see from john shires program last night

0:56.6

in the n yc yeah that's right kentucky fans you're getting spared for just a few minutes here but

1:01.6

don't worry we're getting to mark but we'll go with the game that ended the late first because we

1:05.5

actually have i got a little bit of news attached to this as well on the duke end um

1:45.2

takeaway. Isaiah Evans stepping up the way he did. I thought was important. And then Kate and Boozer,

1:50.0

he went to the postgame press conference along with Patrick and Gongba. And Gongba had 13.7 boards,

1:55.6

2:06.1

I say desperately even with one player because Darren Peterson means that much.

2:09.5

We'll get to him in just a second.

2:11.6

But through the first five games, Duke has passed the test with flying colors with this new roster,
