Kansas takes on Michigan State in the first game of the Champions Classic as the college basketball season kicks off. Kansas starts the season ranked No.3 in the nation and returns many of the key players from last season's team. One of those players, Jalen Wilson, will not play the first three games of the season for getting a DUI before the season started. Michigan State will need to sort things out as they lost their best overall player in Aaron Henry to the NBA. Rocket Watts is also gone. Super Freshman decided to de-commit and go to Memphis. They do have another talented freshman in Max Christie to add to the mix. Even without Wilson, the Wildcats have more talent on the offensive end. The Spartans should hold their own by outrebounding the Jayhawks but it may take some time to get the offense into mi-season form.

Play on Kansas.
