Champions Classic Open Thread: Sparty (Weird Guys) vs Duke, Now...Kansas vs Kentucky (9:00 ET)
Not much else to say. Should be some good basketball played tonight (well, maybe not good as it's early season, but entertaining). Not that we should root for them but seeing Duke annhilate Sparty tonight would make for an enjoyable evening...amirite?!
The better of the two games in my opinion will be the KU-UK game; two very talented rosters (Duke is loaded as well).
Go Blue!

Toledo-VCU is a three point ballgame with 3 minutes left.
Michigan could play VCU in the Legends Classic.
November 18th, 2014 at 8:07 PM ^
Ohio's defense looks good.
November 18th, 2014 at 8:10 PM ^
Izzo making excuses in his second game. This is gonna be a fun year.
November 18th, 2014 at 8:12 PM ^
Duke may be overrated.
November 18th, 2014 at 8:12 PM ^
and one other guy riding the bench a great deal of the first half.
November 18th, 2014 at 8:13 PM ^
November 18th, 2014 at 8:14 PM ^
Ohio State is looking pretty good. Russell seems like a real deal and will probably be a handful.
November 18th, 2014 at 8:16 PM ^
November 18th, 2014 at 8:17 PM ^
Only at the line once they are not a perimeter team.
November 18th, 2014 at 8:18 PM ^

November 18th, 2014 at 8:22 PM ^
Dawson still can't shoot free throws.
November 18th, 2014 at 8:24 PM ^
November 18th, 2014 at 8:25 PM ^
The Sparties can't afford that strategy
November 18th, 2014 at 8:28 PM ^
what a clown
November 18th, 2014 at 8:28 PM ^
Duke can't grab a rebound to save their lives.
November 18th, 2014 at 8:28 PM ^
How can a kid want to come play for Izzo? All he does is rip his players, both current and former. The next year they're always supposed to be better according to him because of addition by subtraction.
November 18th, 2014 at 8:30 PM ^
everytime Sparty looks to get it to 4, Duke has an answer
November 18th, 2014 at 8:31 PM ^
Travis Trice's hernia, concussion, and mystery infection. They forgot the hangnail. LOL
November 18th, 2014 at 8:33 PM ^
couldn't practice all week!!!!!!!!!!

Duke still can't play defense. This time, it might just be freshmen issues that will clear with a little time. But, as of now, same Duke team I've seen a billion times before.
November 18th, 2014 at 8:31 PM ^
Dickie V looooovvvves Izzo and MSU
November 18th, 2014 at 8:33 PM ^
he fellates Duke and Coach K

November 18th, 2014 at 8:32 PM ^
MSC's version of Aaron Craft.
November 18th, 2014 at 8:33 PM ^
November 18th, 2014 at 8:34 PM ^
This is a terrible basketball game.
November 18th, 2014 at 8:34 PM ^
Grayson Allen doesn't look near college ready. Dumb shot turns into 4 point swing. Sit on the bench for a year.
November 18th, 2014 at 8:34 PM ^
November 18th, 2014 at 8:34 PM ^
Duke is not a smart basketball team right now.
November 18th, 2014 at 8:35 PM ^
Wait, how many Plumlee's are there?! Did Coach K steal ND's tight end cloning device and use it to make power forwards?
November 18th, 2014 at 8:35 PM ^

November 18th, 2014 at 8:48 PM ^
My jeebus I hate MSU and that shit. And they wonder why people say "little brother"...the floor slap shit is a great example.
STFU and play basketball.
Basketball is a little different from football, I think I can stand or tolerate players a little more in basketball just because you feel like you can get to know them a little better.
Gary Harris, hated. Keith Appling, hated. This little Trice fucker who isn't even good, hated. Valentine "youse a bum," hate him too.
Izzo is on a role with some of these guys. He's got some all time hated players as of late...guys I'll never like even when they're 50 and sitting in the stands with their children.
November 18th, 2014 at 8:36 PM ^
November 18th, 2014 at 8:36 PM ^
did not think that possession wouldn't end in a foul on them?
November 18th, 2014 at 8:37 PM ^
November 18th, 2014 at 8:37 PM ^
looks soft on D and Okafor--as good as he is on offense--doesn't have as much impact rebounding or on D as would have thought.
November 18th, 2014 at 8:37 PM ^
Okafor should get the ball on the block every singe trip until MSU proves they can stop it.
November 18th, 2014 at 8:40 PM ^
November 18th, 2014 at 8:40 PM ^
and up goes the Duke lead...
November 18th, 2014 at 8:40 PM ^
I'm kind of shocked. I expected the Spartans to get blown out. They've played excellent defense tonight.
November 18th, 2014 at 8:42 PM ^
but that might have just ended with this last Duke run...
November 18th, 2014 at 8:43 PM ^
I look at the weird guys MSU has on the floor and can't figure how they're in this game
November 18th, 2014 at 8:42 PM ^
back to a 10 point game
November 18th, 2014 at 8:42 PM ^

Dude is way too inconsistent.
