Duke vs. Kansas score, takeaways: Jalen Wilson leads Jayhawks’ late rally vs. Blue Devils in Champions Classic

The first game of the 2022-23 college basketball season played between top-10 teams delivered in a captivating way Tuesday night as No. 6 Kansas outlasted No. 7 Duke 69-64 during the Champions Classic in Indianapolis. The Jayhawks were without coach Bill Self, who was serving the third game of a self-imposed four-game suspension in response to alleged NCAA violations.

But even without Self and some key players from last season’s national title team, the Jayhawks looked like a national contender once again. Kansas freshman Gradey Dick came alive in crunch time for three clutch buckets in the final two and a half minutes, two of which gave the Jayhawks the lead. 

His diving, twisting lay-up with 1:04 remaining made it a 65-62 lead for the Jayhawks, who rallied from a six-point deficit late in the second half. Dick had been scoreless for the half until his late finishing flurry but finished with 14 points for the game.

For most of the second half, the Jayhawks essentially force-fed junior wing Jalen Wilson, who is the leading returning scorer after the losses of stars such as Ochai Agbaji and Christian Braun to the NBA Draft. Wilson finished with a game-high 25 points and helped the Jayhawks weather a storm in the second half.

Duke trailed by 11 points early but settled in as the game progressed with freshman forward Kyle Filipowski standing out for his aggression in the second half. Filipowski led the Blue Devils with 17 points and 14 rebounds but was just 6 of 18 from the floor. Jeremy Roach added 16 points for Duke.  

Both teams plagued by poor shooting

Duke had hit a respectable 34% of its 3-point attempts through two games entering Tuesday, but the Blue Devils went cold from beyond the arc against Kansas. Jeremy Roach and Tyrese Proctor were each 1 for 5 from deep, and Filipowski was 1 of 6 while Jaylen Blakes and Jacob Grandison combined to go 0 of 5.

Kansas wasn’t much better as the Jayhawks hit only 3 of 19 attempts from 3-point range, but KU did have more success attacking the rim. Overall, Kansas shot 46.3% from the floor compared to 35.8% for Duke. Undersized big man KJ Adams Jr. quietly made 4 of 4 attempts from the field without being a focal point of KU’s offense. His task against Duke’s much taller bigs was unenviable, but he handled it well enough to allow the Jayhawks to capitalize in other ways.

Kansas shows off its wings

How KU capitalized was through the aggression of its versatile corps of wings. Wilson made into the lane against anyone who guarded him and Dick managed to get loose in key moments. Texas Tech transfer Kevin McCullar also provided a big lift in the first half, particularly early when he often found himself guarded by Filipowski, a 7-footer. McCullar scored eight of his 12 points in the opening half. He had six early as the Jayhawks opened up a 17-6 lead less than seven minutes in.

The size and versatility of the Wilson-Dick-McCullar trio stood out for Kansas. Though just three games into his career, Dick looks capable of playing a similar type of role to the role Christian Braun played for the Jayhawks on their way to a national title last season. Though replacing Ochai Agbaji is going to be a bit more difficult, it’s clear KU has the perimeter weapons necessary to be a matchup nightmare once again.

Key players missing in action

Neither team had its full roster available. One of Duke’s five-star freshmen, versatile wing Dariq Whitehead, has yet to make his debut while recovering from offseason foot surgery. The 6-6 wing would have given Duke another versatile defender to deploy against Wilson and Dick.

Kansas was without two players as well, though. Freshman guard MJ Rice (illness) and sophomore Zach Clemence (injury) were unavailable. Rice is a McDonald’s All-American who played a major role off the bench last week, and Clemence is a sophomore fighting for minutes in the front court.

Duke Blue Devils men, UConn Huskies women to compete in Jimmy V Classic college basketball events

The matchups for the 2022 men’s and women’s Jimmy V Classic college basketball events were announced Thursday, highlighted by Duke on the men’s side and a pair of potential top-10 matchups on the women’s side.

The men’s doubleheader will take place Dec. 6 at Madison Square Garden, with Duke facing Iowa and Texas playing Illinois. The women’s games will be hosted on campus sites Dec. 4: UConn at Notre Dame and Virginia Tech at Tennessee.

The coming season marks the first time since 1980 that Duke will be coached by someone other than Mike Krzyzewski, with Jon Scheyer taking over that role. The Blue Devils bring in the nation’s No. 1-ranked recruiting class and are ranked No. 5 in ESPN’s latest Way-Too-Early Top 25.

The Longhorns and the Fighting Illini also are ranked in the Way-Too-Early Top 25. Chris Beard and Texas bring back three starters from last season’s 22-win team, while also welcoming two five-star freshmen and elite transfer Tyrese Hunter from Iowa State. Illinois lost All-American Kofi Cockburn, but it landed impact transfers Terrence Shannon Jr. (Texas Tech) and Matthew Mayer (Baylor), as well as top-25 recruit Skyy Clark.

Both men’s games will air on ESPN.

On the women’s side, all four teams are ranked in the top 11 of ESPN’s most recent Way-Too-Early Top 25.

UConn is coming off a national championship game appearance and returns stars Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd, while Notre Dame brings back most of its contributors and hit the portal for Texas transfer Lauren Ebo.

Virginia Tech should compete for an ACC championship with the return of conference Player of the Year Elizabeth Kitley, and Tennessee loaded up in the transfer portal and is receiving preseason top-five hype.

UConn’s trip to Notre Dame will be broadcast on ABC, and Virginia Tech vs. Tennessee will air on ESPN2.

Named for legendary coach Jim Valvano, the Jimmy V Classic raises money and awareness for the V Foundation for Cancer Research. To date, ESPN has helped raise more than $155 million for the V Foundation. Last year set a record, with 2021’s V Week raising $13.35 million.

Nemec Provides Coveted Skillset for Devils | DRAFT

Perhaps the most coveted player in hockey is a right-handed shooting defenseman that can run a power play.

The New Jersey Devils found their man in Slovakia’s Simon Nemec with the second-overall pick at the 2022 NHL Draft in Montreal.

“It says a lot that not only did he play in the World Championship, but he was on the PP and 6-on-5 when they needed a goal,” said Devils Chief Scout Mark Dennehy. “Right shot D are difficult to get. We got a good one.”

Video: Simon Nemec Media Availability | DRAFT

Nemec, 6-foot, 199 pounds, felt good about his chances of being selected by New Jersey after meeting with the team’s scouting and management staff at the NHL Combine in Buffalo. However, it was still a bit surprising he admitted upon hearing his name.

“I was a little bit nervous because New Jersey has more centers and they need a defenseman,” Nemec said with a smile. “It’s a big surprise because everybody said I’d be four, five, or six (picked). But second-overall is amazing.

“I’m really, really excited. I still can’t believe it. Amazing.”

Nemec, 18, is an offensively gifted blueliner. His hockey IQ, skating, vision and passing make him an offensive threat, and a natural power-play quarterback.

“Simon is the modern-day puck moving defenseman,” Dennehy said. “His vision in all three zones, plus the ability to pass off either forehand or backhand, allows his team to transition from defense to offense.”

Nemec had quite an eventful past year. He played all season with Nitra’s pro team of the Slovakian league. He also helped Slovakia win bronze at the Winter Olympic Games, claimed silver in the annual Hlinka Tournament and represented his country in the World Championship.

“He has a boatload of experience playing against men,” said Sportsnet’s draft expert Sam Cosentino, “going back to when he was 15 years old getting into games in the men’s league in Slovakia, playing in two Worlds, playing in the Olympics. That’s not a lot of experience you get to see from a player in his draft year come to the table with.”

Video: Devils 2nd-overall pick Simon Nemec 1-on-1 | DRAFT

Adding to the night’s accolades was the fact that Nemec’s Slovakian teammate Juraj Slafkovsky went No. 1 overall to Montreal, meaning his homeland produced the top took picks in the NHL Draft – a historic first for the country.

“Last year was really good for Slovakia,” Nemec said. “We won a bronze medal, we were second in the Hlinka and now first-overall and second-overall. Amazing year.

“It was an amazing moment for my family, for me, for everybody in Slovakia. It’s an amazing night because we had the first-overall and second-overall.”

Nemec wants to come to North America next season. While his destination would likely be Utica of the American Hockey League, his real goal is to be playing in the National Hockey League.

“I want to go to North America,” he said of his plans next year. “Maybe the American Hockey League. If there’s an option for me, I want to play a couple games in the NHL.”

Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin selling stake in company that owns Philadelphia Sixers, New Jersey Devils

Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin, a prominent minority owner of the Philadelphia 76ers, is selling his stake in the Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment company that owns the Sixers and New Jersey Devils, he announced Wednesday.

Rubin, who sources say holds a 10% equity stake in HBSE, is divesting his 11-year stake in the NBA and NHL franchises because of looming conflicts in the expansion of his Fanatics business into sports betting and individual player partnerships.

“As our Fanatics business has grown, so too have the obstacles I have to navigate to ensure our new businesses don’t conflict with my responsibilities as part-owner of the Sixers,” Rubin said in a statement. “… Given these realities, I will sadly be selling my stake in the Sixers and shifting from part-owner back to life-long fan.”

Fanatics is a $20 billion-plus company that sells licensed professional and college merchandise online. The expansion into sports betting and negotiating individual partnership deals with pro athletes creates numerous conflicts with collective bargaining rules.

Prior to the Sixers-Brooklyn Nets trade involving guard James Harden in February, Rubin drew the scrutiny of NBA rivals because of his close relationship with Harden. Rubin can now enter outside financial partnerships with players who were disallowed because Rubin was a part-owner of the teams, an avenue that could prove beneficial to the Sixers as they work to re-sign Harden.

“Given Michael’s tremendous success growing Fanatics into a global platform across every major sport, his decision doesn’t come as a surprise,” HBSE founder and managing general partner Josh Harris said in a statement. “I am so grateful for his years of partnership. His fierce passion, entrepreneurial mindset and steadfast commitment to doing the right thing have left an indelible mark on the Sixers organization.

“Michael will always be a member of our HBSE and Sixers family, continue to be a presence courtside and a key partner in our collective commitment to be a force for good in Philadelphia.”

Said HBSE co-founder and co-managing partner David Blitzer: “Michael is a visionary and innovator who has played an integral role in helping us grow and position HBSE for future success. He has been an incredible friend and business partner over the last 11 years and his instincts, work ethic, passion, and ability to bring people together have helped establish him as one of the industry’s most influential and successful leaders.

“Michael has used those same attributes to help us evolve and grow, all while becoming a driver of positive, inspiring change in our communities. As he prepares for this new chapter in his career, I’m excited to watch Michael further revolutionize the Fanatics business, unlocking its full potential by connecting sports fans from around the world through a multitude of new platforms and verticals.”

Duke Blue Devils hiring Kentucky Wildcats’ Jai Lucas as assistant men’s basketball coach

Duke men’s basketball coach Jon Scheyer is hiring Kentucky’s Jai Lucas as an assistant coach, sources told ESPN on Friday.

Lucas is the first basketball hire from outside the Duke family since Mike Krzyzewski hired Tim O’Toole as an assistant coach in 1995.

He is the third and final assistant for Scheyer’s first staff at Duke, joining Chris Carrawell and Amile Jefferson. Carrawell has been an assistant coach under Krzyzewski since 2018, while Jefferson was promoted from the director of player development position. Scheyer also hired Elon head coach Mike Schrage as the special assistant to the head coach.

Lucas, 33, is considered one of the best young assistant coaches in the country. The son of longtime NBA player and coach John Lucas, he played his college ball at Florida and Texas before a brief professional career. He then spent seven seasons under Rick Barnes and Shaka Smart at Texas before going to Kentucky as an assistant coach for the past two seasons.

“I’ve known the Lucas family for 25 years and followed Jai’s career both as a player and as a coach,” Kentucky coach John Calipari said when he hired Lucas in 2020. “As our fans know, Jai was recruited here as a player and knows a lot about this program. I have always been impressed by the work he has done and the relationships he’s created. Jai is another guy who everyone has respect for because of his work ethic and his players-first approach. He will be a great addition.”

The Houston-born Lucas is well connected in the state of Texas. During his time at Kentucky, he helped land Texas products Daimion Collins, Sahvir Wheeler and Cason Wallace. He was also the initial contact for five-star point guard TyTy Washington Jr. and helped with potential top-10 pick Shaedon Sharpe.

The hire was first reported by 247Sports.

Mike Krzyzewski: Final home game for Duke Blue Devils coach after 42 seasons

The Duke Blue Devils are scheduled to play against their rival, the North Carolina Tar Heels, at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham at 6 p.m. ET on ESPN.

“Coach K,” as he is affectionately known, has led the men’s program to five national championships in 42 seasons — in 1991, 1992, 2001, 2010 and 2015, according to the NCAA.
If the Tar Heels win Saturday’s game against the Devils, it would almost guarantee the team an at-large bid in the NCAA Tournament after losing against the Pittsburgh Panthers last month, according to CNN affiliate WTVD.

Krzyzewski held a news conference Thursday, telling reporters he has “tried not to think about it that much but I know it will be emotional.”

“By being in one place and having a good level of success throughout, you’re able to form a lot of friendships,” he said.

Krzyzewski said he will have “nothing to do with our basketball program” after his retirement, but he and his wife will stay on as ambassadors for the university.

“It was mine for 42 years, but it’s Duke’s forever. Whatever I can do to help Duke and Duke athletics, I will do,” he said.

Krzyzewski has chosen Duke associate head coach and former Blue Devils player Jon Scheyer to become the school’s next head coach, according to Stadium’s Jeff Goodman.

While at Duke, Krzyzewski developed some of the biggest stars in the NBA, including Kyrie Irving, Jayson Tatum, Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram.

Krzyzewski started coaching while he was in the Army, starting in 1969, according to Duke. He left the military as a captain in 1974.

From there, he was head coach at the US Military Academy Prep School at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, for two years before landing a graduate assistant coaching position at Indiana University, the release said. He did that for another year before returning to his alma mater, West Point, in 1975 as a head coach.

Krzyzewski took the reins as Duke head coach in 1980, according to the university.

In announcing his retirement last year, Krzyzewski said in a statement that he and his family viewed the decision as a celebration. He is also “thankful and honored” to have led two college programs — West Point and Duke — along with the United States National Team as head basketball coach, he said.

Krzyzewski was appointed head coach of Team USA in 2005. Under his reign, the team won gold medals in the 2008, 2012 and 2016 Olympics.

CNN’s Amir Vera and David Close contributed to this report.
