NEW YORK -- Kansas had already gone through a tough loss this season, falling in overtime to Indiana in Honolulu.On Tuesday night the Jayhawks went from looking like easy winners to facing another excruciating loss. But a short jumper by Frank Mason III with 1.8 seconds to go gave the Jayhawks a 77-75 victory over top-ranked Duke in the State Farm Champions Classic at Madison Square Garden.The play was to iso (isolate) me, and my teammates did a good job of spacing the floor, Mason said. It felt good when it left my hand. `A long 3 at the buzzer by Dukes Frank Jackson was off line.The Jayhawks (1-1) beat a top-ranked team for the eighth time.This was more of a must win for us than it was for Duke. Not that theres must win this time of year, but I think it will do something for us because for the first time we won a game where we shot it like crap, Kansas coach Bill Self said. So hopefully we learned some lessons and know that you cannot be great offensively and still win if you do little things and play aggressively. So I think it should bode well for us moving forward. `Self was all smiles talking about his senior point guard.Hes made a lot of big plays for us, Self said of Mason. I dont know if hes made any game-winners but hes made plays to put us in overtime. Yeah hes a stud.Mason made a big-time play and it was well guarded, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. He just made a big-time play.Kansas was ahead 62-50 with 8 minutes to play but the Blue Devils (2-1), despite a terrible shooting game by Grayson Allen, the leading vote-getter on The Associated Press preseason All-America team, managed to suddenly start hitting shots and they tied the game at 75 with 15 seconds left on a 3-pointer by Jackson..Kansas called a timeout with 8.2 seconds left and set up the game-winner.That was quite a play we called, just get out of his way, Self said.I just took advantage of the separation I created and I just shot the ball, Mason said. It felt good when it left my hand and I just thank God that it went in.Mason, who had a career-high 30 in the loss to Indiana, led Kansas with 21 points, freshman Josh Jackson added 15 and Devonte Graham had 13.Luke Kennard led five Duke players in double figures with 22 points. Allen finished with 12 points on 4-for-15 shooting.I think Grayson had a very frustrating game, Krzyzewski said of Allen who started the game by making 1 of 12 from the field. I think you cant expect to get a foul. I think hes going to a point where he makes a move and its a good move and he expects a foul. Im not saying theyre not calling fouls. You cant do that. That cant be what youre doing. The last few minutes, he moved well. Hes playing hard when he gets the ball and he needs to play harder when he doesnt have the ball. Its what he did in the last few minutes.Kansas finished 2 for 17 from 3-point range but the Jayhawks shot 50.8 percent overall (33 for 65) including making 60.6 percent of their shots in the second half (20 of 33).Duke shot 48.9 percent for the game (23 of 47) including 8 of 19 on 3s.BIG PICTURE:Duke: In its first two games the Blue Devils held opponents to 55.0 points on 32.3 percent shooting, including 16.2 percent from 3-point range while forcing an average of 17 turnovers. ... This was the 950th consecutive game the Blue Devils made at least one 3-pointer. Thats the fourth-longest stretch in Division I history. ... Duke played again without freshmen Harry Giles and Jayson Tatum who Krzyzewski has said will brought along slowly as they rehab from injuries.Kansas: The Jayhawks were facing an AP No 1 team for the 24th time and the first time since the 2014 Champions Classic when they lost to Kentucky 72-40. They are 8-16 all-time against No. 1s. ... The Jayhawks opening game was a 103-99 overtime loss to then-No. 11 Indiana in Honolulu. If youre going to travel 11,000 miles you might as well get a win, Self said.POLL IMPLICATIONS:Duke was No. 1 in the preseason poll and the first voting of the regular season. That will change this week with the loss. Kansas was No. 3 in the preseason poll, dropped to seventh with the loss to Indiana and the Jayhawks should move up a couple of places with the win over Duke.HELLO MELO:Krzyzewski walked onto the court before the game and went straight across to see Carmelo Anthony of the New York Knicks. The two shared a hug and a laugh. They combined to win three Olympic gold medals for the United State.UP NEXT:Duke: The Blue Devils stay in the Northeast heading to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off at Uncasville, Connecticut on Friday and Saturday. They open with Penn State.Kansas: The Jayhawks finally get to play in Allen Fieldhouse when they face Siena on Friday.

Its not easy to find a weakness in Roger Federer, who is seeking an eighth Wimbledon title and an 18th Grand Slam triumph. Lets keep this between ourselves for now, but the Wimbledon Diary thinks it might have done just that.So far during The Championships, Federer has been successful with just 12.5 percent of his Hawk-Eye challenges, with just one correct query from the eight times he has called upon the technology. Contrast with his quarterfinal opponent, Croatias Marin Cilic, who has a hit-rate of 61.5 percent during the tournament to date, with eight correct challenges from 13 attempts. Of the eight men left in the singles draw, only one has a lower percentage than Federer -- thats Frenchman Lucas Pouille, who was wrong with all six of his, so is lingering on zero.In Novak Djokovics absence, Andy Murray is the highest seed left in the tournament, but he could also do some work on this part of his game -- he has been successful with 23.1 per cent of his challenges, with three from 13. The overall average for the mens singles so far is 30 percent, with the same number in the womens event, too.Golden Bear spotted in SW19Jack Nicklaus, who has been in the Royal Box for the past couple of days, is more than just a tennis fan.

That number is 102, which is how many aces Williams served during the 2012 Championships. That was the first Grand Slam that we won together and she served at a higher level than I think anyone in the history of the sport, the Frenchman told the Wimbledon Diary. She served more aces in that tournament than any woman or man -- and you have to remember that the men would have been playing over five sets. Thats crazy. Her serve is just a huge weapon on grass.Passing the Wimbledon smell testUsed tennis balls can be bought from a kiosk outside Centre Court. No doubt a few tennis fans will be sniffing the Slazenger balls before using them at their local courts. Thats inspired by Slovakian Dominika Cibulkova, a quarterfinalist in the womens singles, who successfully identified a ball from each of the four Grand Slams on smell alone. ' ' '
