The Kansas Jayhawks have dominated the Duke Blue Devils in recent seasons, and that's a trend I think will continue here in the opener of the 2018/2019 season.

Duke has lost key pieces like national player of the year Zion Williamson and top-three NBA draft pick R.J. Barrett from last season's roster and Tre Jones might end up being the Blue Devils only non-freshman starter on this year's team.

Additionally, Kansas has arguably the best center in the game in Udoka Azubuike, a position where Duke is fairly weak. Azubuike played just nine games before suffering a torn ligament in his right hand last season, so he should be well up for this season.

8* play on Kansas Jayhawks.
