Would I have rather had it inside Cameron Indoor Stadium or Allen Fieldhouse? Of course I would've! College basketball is forever better in true home-road environments, especially in historic, on-campus buildings.

So, like I tweeted late Tuesday, if you put me at a table in between Kansas coach Bill Self and Duke coach Jon Scheyer, I'm figuring out a way to get them to agree to a home-and-home series with one meeting at Cameron, another at The Phog.

But that's a column for another day.

Today, let's just focus on the fact that Kansas and Duke two of the sport's best brands, all things considered met late Tuesday on a neutral-court in Las Vegas.

It didn't pop like it otherwise would've in a true home-road environment, but it was still a fun game that likely ensured the Jayhawks will remain No.

1 in the next Associated Press Top 25 regardless of what happens in Maui, Atlantis or anywhere else.

Final score: Kansas 75, Duke 72.

Despite CBS Sports preseason All-American Hunter Dickinson getting ejected after just 24 minutes on the court for kicking Duke's Maliq Brown in the head, the Jayhwks shot 49.1% from the field to improve to 7-0 with victories over Duke, North Carolina and Michigan State.

Needless to say, Bill Self's program remains No.

1 in Wednesday morning's updated CBS Sports Top 25 And 1 daily college basketball rankings for the 24th day of this season.

Duke remains No.

10.

Next up for KU is Saturday's game against Furman that KenPom.com gives the Jayhawks a 95% chance of winning.

Barring a major upset inside Allen Fieldhouse, the Jayhawks will enter next week with a 7-0 record Top 25 And 1 rankings.
