It’s not too early for a prediction thread, is it?
Kansas 74
Duke 68
Dotson against Jones should be fun to watch. I’m not too excited about KU’s backcourt but I think Marcus Garrett will do a good job of defending Duke’s shooters. He’s got the experience for it. KU probably has the best frontcourt in the country this season so I think they’ll finally have a year that can play to Self’s strengths as a coach. Azubuike should be able to score at will if the guards do their job and get him the ball.
Michigan State 75
Kentucky 71
I don’t know much about either team. Cassius Winston will be the best player on the floor and be the leading candidate for NPOY. Just taking a guess but he will probably be the reason Michigan State wins this one. Experienced players always seem to step it up and make a difference in the Champions Classic.
