You could argue Duke is better at the top, whereas, UK has more depth and can go with more bodies.
I'll root for UK in this one...always been a fan of Cal. Think UK wins by around 8-10 points.
Duke will beat UK in Champions Classic
- Thread starter bignish
- Start date

I'm surprised Cam Reddish isn't getting more love. He very well could be the difference maker in this game.
Some pretty good predictions in this thread---a few guys are going to have a platter full of chest thumping dump nuggets to eat.
This game will put one team up on the other with one game left in current series. (MSG next year UK vs. Michigan St, KU vs Duke).
Right now four teams have won the best 2 out of 3, after 3 games/seasons in CC against each other.
Duke 3-0 vs. Mich st.
UK 2-1 vs. KU
KU 2-? vs. Duke.
Mich St. 2-0 vs KU
Still up for grabs, UK vs Duke and Michigan
St. They picked the right four teams to participate.
Overall records is still too close to call.
With all this said, it's still a November game. Some don't care about little stats. Some do.

He is very, very good. Didn't play in Canada, so people aren't as familiar with him. Also maybe not as noticeable as Zion or RJ (although higher ranked than Zion in high school.)
Sounds good to me. I was going to anyway. UK and UNC have always been second favorites to me. After all the UK arena is named for a Jayhawk and Roy is also a favorite of mine.. However, I do think top to bottom KU has the deepest team in the country. But because at this time we do not have a defined leader on the floor or the final rotation we will start slow. (Slow for KU that is)
Its going to be much harder to drive on Washington and Johnson than it was the canadian kids... thats for sure

KU has done better with UK in the conference challenges. But I like these early big matchups. They are great for fans of the game and the kids really get up for them and really care. In reality none of the teams have too many in conference rivals. The other schools may differ, but the cream is usually these 4 schools, plus UNC and one or two others.
Both teams are littered with freshman. Both teams will rely hevaily on freshman. UK does have some returning kids, who can ball; Wahington, Green and Richards(?). So picking who will win this game is sort of like throwing darts, in the dark. I'd give the edge(slight) to UK b/c they have some solid kids returning. BUT---Duke does have 3 of the Top 5 freshman. SO there is that. Just a toss up, IMO.
crazy to think that if KU beats MSU, duke beats uk, and then next year KU beats Duke and UK beats MSU....they will all finish with the same 5-4 record.This game will put one team up on the other with one game left in current series. (MSG next year UK vs. Michigan St, KU vs Duke).

Geezus, OP, you've hooked enough to feast forever.
So.... my math isn't always 100, but...
MSU (who was sitting a 3-4) is going to lose their next two games and be 5-4.
And ppl liked that post?

How ya been, brother? I'm finally back working CBB; albeit a D3 game. First game is this Monday. Just happy to be back on the floor. At the college level.
Congrats that your health is better. Go get them.
It’s the new math. Also I wa referring to Kansas duke and Kentucky would all have the same record, not MSU
Really good to hear you’re doing better Borden. (This is Montana on an alt account btw)
I got the "all go" last week. Still have an appointment on the 28th. But so far, so good.
Yikes, you walltoboogie and mebe should all get in a room in cry together.
Damn I thought the Cats by 90 would have tipped you off to it being sarcasm oh well
@rockycard bumping a thread from a month and a half ago. Trying hard. Laughing
We have a great schedule, we aren’t doing a month of “feel good” games. Calipari must’ve known what was going to happen against Duke, now he won’t play anyone. Fluff fluff
Look at your schedule, fluff fluff all except for a couple of games.Yeah, Duke, UNC, KU, UL OOC is fluff.
Good call.
Yeah, all the games that are not fluff are fluff.
Doesn't that go for all teams?
Should we focus on UL instead of UK?
nah.
