The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/college\/kansas-jayhawks\/\">Kansas<\/a><\/strong> head coach was working without star player <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/hunter-dickinson-48425\/\">Hunter Dickinson<\/a><\/strong> due to an ejection. A Flagrant 2 foul was called against Dickinson in the second half, making him watch the final 10 minutes of the game from the locker room.<\/p>\n<p>The decision to slap Dickinson with a Flagrant 2 was not one Self agreed with. During his postgame press conference, Self said the penalty should have been a Flagrant 1. This would have given Duke two shots and the ball but been a massive boost for Kansas as Dickinson would have remained in the game.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-my-plugin-prizepicks-ad-block\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/prizepicks.onelink.me\/ivHR\/ON3\"><strong><em>CLICK HERE to go to PrizePicks and use code ON3 to receive a guaranteed $50 once you play $5 in lineups!<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cBill Self said he thought the Hunter Dickinson incident warranted a flagrant foul \u2014 but he thought it should have been a Flagrant-1, not a Flagrant-2,\u201d ESPN\u2019s Jeff Borzello <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/jeffborzello\/status\/1861634965945094576\">said<\/a> via X.<\/p>\n<p>Dickinson finished with 24 minutes played, recording 11 points on 4-11 shooting.

Greenberg\u2019s opinion differed from Self\u2019s, saying there was intent in kicking <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/db\/maliq-brown-82077\/\">Maliq Brown<\/a><\/strong> in the face. Even while watching the replay in the postgame show, his opinion only grew.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe got fouled and it\u2019s a Flagrant 2,\u201d Greenberg said. \u201cWhat was his intent? You see him roll over and the foot came down. I mean, that is intent right there. That\u2019s just the way it is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kansas wound up surviving without Dickinson, squeaking out a three-point win against Duke. It\u2019s been a brutal schedule early in the year for Self\u00a0but his team has pulled through every time. The Jayhawks are now 6-0 and the undisputed No. 1 team in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Dickinson will be back out on the court next time Kansas plays.
