Bill Self showered praise on KJ Adams on Tuesday night after the 6-foot-7 senior forward suffocated Duke standout Cooper Flagg on defense while chipping in eight points in the Jayhawks’ Vegas Showdown victory over the Blue Devils at T-Mobile Arena in Nevada.

Self on Friday reiterated that one of the Jayhawk players turned in one of the best individual performances during Feast Week: senior forward KJ Adams, who had eight points, three blocks, three steals, three assists and two rebounds while also playing suffocating defense on Duke sensation Cooper Flagg in a 33-minute stint on Tuesday.
