Logs double-double over Blue Devils Wilson closed Tuesday's 69-64 victory over Duke with 25 points (11-26 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes. Impact Wilson served as the Jayhawks' centerpiece on offense while playing a team-high 38 minutes in this impressive early-season win, as he attempted 15 more field goals than the team's next closest shooter, freshman Gradey Dick (14 points, 6-11 FG). The junior forward was a solid contributor in Kansas' deep starting lineup last season -- 11.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, 8.7 field-goal attempts over 37 games --, thus leaving him as the team's most experienced scorer in this year's new-look starting five. While Wilson's unlikely to take 20-plus shots moving forward, his tenacity as a rebounder and scorer down low should keep his scoring average in the high teens and low twenties moving forward.
