With four elite teams, this year’s Champions Classic will be a doozy. No. 15 Kansas and No. 24 Kentucky will go head-to-head Tuesday as part of the early-season tournament.
As two of college basketball’s blue-blood programs, this matchup is always a must-watch. A storyline to follow Tuesday is Tyran Stokes, the No. 1 overall prospect who committed to Kansas over Kentucky. The freshman is already making an immediate impact for the Jayhawks, averaging 11.5 points and 6 rebounds per game.
Kentucky is entering this week with a matching 2-2 record, though questions arose after the team’s most recent performance — an 89-80 win over James Madison that saw the Wildcats struggling through half. Can Mark Pope keep this squad in line?
Be sure to tune in for all the action from Chicago.
