Duke freshman Patrick Ngongba (foot) will be available for tonight's game against Kentucky, per a school spokesman. Has yet to play this season. It may depend on whether or not a fellow Duke basketball freshman big man, starting center Khaman Maluach, racks up early fouls in the contest.

No. 19 Kentucky defeated No. 6 Duke 77-72 in a game that lived up to its Champions Classic name. Trailing by double-digits after halftime, the Wildcats kept clawing their way back into the Blue Devil lead.
