That was in 2008 and it worked out pretty well for Kansas.

Duke had no answer for Malik Newman - Even before he started dominating the overtime, Newman had established himself as the game's most dominant scorer.

The transfer from Mississippi State finally bought into what Self has been demanding of him all season, and the result has been the finest performances of his career. And he had 14 points in the overtime win against Duke in the Elite Eight, including some solid high-post plays to attack the vulnerable middle of the Blue Devils' zone.

Well, these guys know, I try not to be too emotional. With the big man away from the hoop, the lane was open for Kansas' athletic players to crash the boards for second-chance opportunities. "Quinn Cook and Rodney (both of whom played at Duke) was kind of sad about it, but of course they was just happy to see me do well". This one might come down to the secondary guys and Villanova has a little more in that department. "This is Devonte's team". Their guys know all of us.

"I'm just trying to help out as much as I can and just trying to take some pressure off him".

His legs tired from leaning into 7-foot Marvin Bagley III all Sunday afternoon, Svi Mykhailiuk's jumpers started glancing off the front of the CenturyLink Center rim. "But it was never consistent". This is the type of player Newman was always supposed to be.

But when the national player of the year graduated last season, his career ending with a thud in an Elite Eight loss to OR, it was Graham who immediately became the face of the program - and a smiling, energetic face, too.

Newman dropped 28 on Seton Hall in the second round and 17 points (with four threes) on Clemson in the Sweet 16. Also of note: Jay Jay notes that "Duke has a lot of weaknesses". "Their comments really have made me smile". Just the tough love he'd been showing me, not letting me take any shortcuts. He averaged just 8.4 points and 3.9 rebounds while shooting 40 percent over the final 18 regular-season games, prompting coach Bill Self to frequently push him for more.

This Kansas team had overachieved a bit all season long, nobody expected them to make it this far, many thought they would be the first No. 1 seed to fall against Penn, sorry Virginia.
