No. 19 Kentucky, No. 1 Kansas Prevail in Champions Classic

Wildcats upset Blue Devils in final seconds

No. 19 Kentucky put together a furious rally to upset No. 6 Duke 73-72 in the final seconds of their Champions Classic matchup Tuesday night in Indianapolis.

Trailing by 12 points with less than five minutes to go, Kentucky stormed back behind the hot shooting of Cason Wallace. Wallace hit a pair of threes and assisted on another to pull the Wildcats within two.

After Duke missed a free throw, Kentucky's Antonio Reeves hit a go-ahead three with 10.3 seconds remaining. Duke had a chance to tie it up, but Jeremy Roach's three-point attempt rimmed out.

Jalen Wilson led the way for the Jayhawks with 22 points, while Gradey Dick added 18 and Kevin McCullar Jr. chipped in 17.

Michigan State was led by Malik Hall's 18 points. Joey Hauser added 15 and AJ Hoggard had 12.
