CHICAGO (AP) -- Andrew Wiggins soared toward the hoop as Jabari Parker made one last attempt to stop his fellow freshman star.

No such luck. Kansas' silky smooth newcomer owned the end of Parker's impressive homecoming.

Wiggins scored 16 of his 22 points in the second half, outplaying Parker down the stretch and helping the fifth-ranked Jayhawks knock off No. 4 Duke 94-83 on Tuesday night.

''Big players make big plays,'' Wiggins said. ''I think our whole team, whoever was on the court, every possession we made a big play. That's why we came out on top.''

Parker, a former prep star at nearby Simeon High School, had 27 points, nine rebounds and two steals in a spectacular return to his hometown. But it was Wiggins who made the biggest plays in the final minutes of a taut thriller between two storied programs.

This will be The Year of the Freshmen in college hoops. All the upper classmen have gone pro.

1. really good game - sat at a local pub and watched it with a nice pint of stout!

I am a Duke fan, but look at early season losses as teachable moments....

It doesn't get much better than this!!!
