Hunter Dickinson has held a poor reputation among college basketball fans for several years, and he certainly didn't help his image tonight against Duke. The Jayhawks will have to find a way to win without their best player in the second half.

After being undercut by Maliq Brown on an offensive rebound, they both fell to the floor and Dickinson kicked him in the head. Whether it was inadvertent or intentional is unknown, but the officials believed it was enough to warrant an ejection from the contest. The former Michigan star was assessed a deadball Flagrant 2 foul.
