Cameron Boozer and Duke matchup well with Kansas for the Champions Classic

3 Keys for Duke to Beat Kansas in Champions Classic

3. Get Flory Bidunga Off the Floor

Flory Bidunga has been huge for the Jayhawks thus far. He has a box plus minus of 12.8 with an offensive box plus minus of 7.5. He also has a usage rate of 24% which is slightly inflated from Peterson missing the last few games. Bidunga has taken a big step forward this year and is now a true post weapon. He is also very efficient in the pick and roll game as a roller. Bidunga is responsible for 2 points per possession on rolls and 1.26 points per possession on post ups.

The one big knock on Kansas is they do not have another post threat. Bryson Tiller is a good young big but he is more efficient in the pick and pop game or spot up game. There is really no one that can step up to guard the Duke bigs beyond Bidunga.
