Bill Self guarantees his top junior plays against Duke on Tuesday

They're going to need him.

Kansas wing man and top junior in Devonte' Graham left the season opening game against Indiana with five fouls and some seriously bad cramps. Some fans might have been concerned with what that might have meant for the big game against Duke in the State Farm Champions Classic. Coach Bill Self says that Graham will be playing in the big game.
