The No. 1 Duke Blue Devils (2-0) just got another win Saturday night against Grand Canyon and now have to face an angry No. 3 Kansas (0-1) squad that lost a close game to Indiana on Friday night in the Armed Forces Classic. It looks like Duke will have to do it without their three top freshmen again.
Coach K said he doesn’t expect Giles, Tatum or Bolden to play Tuesday vs. Kansas. So the No. 1 team might be an underdog to an 0-1 team.

That's less than ideal for the game at Madison Square Garden, but could show what this team is made of as Grayson Allen and Amile Jefferson are still the leaders of the team and coupled with five-star freshman Frank Jackson, should be enough to at least give the Jayhawks a run for their money.
