NCAA Basketball: NCAA Tournament-Midwest Regional-Kansas vs Duke
Mar 25, 2018; Omaha, NE, USA; Duke Blue Devils forward Marvin Bagley III (35) shoots the ball against Kansas Jayhawks forward Silvio De Sousa (22) during the second half in the championship game of the Midwest regional of the 2018 NCAA Tournament at CenturyLink Center.

Enjoy...
