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.

On Tuesday night, Cooper Flagg got his points, but the Jayhawks revealed the blueprint for how to slow him down.

KenPom, the gold standard college basketball analytical site, rates Duke as a four-point favorite in this neutral-court matchup. It also has Duke ranked fourth and Kansas at No. 9. It could be wise, though, to go against the grain in this one as money begins to come in on Kansas as we get closer to game time.
