On that play, Flagg drove to the basket on big man Hunter Dickinson. Adams arrived to help and swatted Flagg’s shot. He tried to recover the ball but knocked it out of bounds. On the next Duke possession, Adams stopped a three-on-one fast break by swatting Kon Knueppel’s shot at the rim.

It came down to the wire, but experience showed in the closing minutes of Duke basketball's loss to Kansas in Las Vegas.

There's rarely shame in losing to the top-ranked team in the country, especially when that loss comes by three points at a neutral site, but Duke basketball fans probably feel like the Blue Devils let one get away from them on Tuesday night in Las Vegas.

Kansas center Hunter Dickinson did his best Draymond Green impression in Tuesday’s 75-72 win over Duke. The Kansas center kicked Duke forward Maliq Brown as the two lay on the ground battling for a rebound in a game the Jayhawks led 57-55 at the time.
