Kentucky vs. Duke starting shortly
Then CFP rankings announced at 9:30.
Then Kansas vs. MSU afterward.
A bunch of teams I dislike, all playing in the same night! On ESPN.

I am luke-warm on the overlap...Maybe I am the exception. I find it hard to really get into basketball during football and I would LIKE to care more about UM hoops during Nov./Dec. but don't find myself following it closely enough since I was in Ann Arbor.. Either way, I will agree that its a great Tues/Wed filler!

The 4-star players that sit the bench for Kentucky can play checkers on their shorts if they get bored. At least we aren't the only team with awful patterns on our shorts.
November 17th, 2015 at 7:42 PM ^
These games are like AAU all-star games.
November 17th, 2015 at 7:46 PM ^
With basketball and MACtion...
November 17th, 2015 at 7:49 PM ^

MSU doesn't sniff the amount of success those 3 programs have had all-time.
UCLA should be in that spot if we're truly calling it the Champions Classic.
National titles: UCLA (11), Kentucky (8), Duke (5), Kansas (3), MSU (2)
Final Fours: Kentucky & UCLA (17), Duke (16), Kansas (15), MSU (9)
All-time wins rank: #1 Kentucky, #2 Kansas, #4 Duke, #7 UCLA, #30 MSU
November 17th, 2015 at 8:09 PM ^
But leaving out MSU would be disrespektful

Ah, the classic sparty take of history starting in the year they conveniently select that benefits their argument.
November 17th, 2015 at 10:28 PM ^
Get out of here with that, man. You're literally doing the exact same thing - starting in a year that benefits your argument. I'm all for pointing out when MSU tries to put themselves in a group they don't belong. All I'm saying is that making that claim in basketball, a sport they've been just about as successful as anyone else the last 20 years, is weak.
If we're going to start with a data point for measuring a program's success, I don't think it's unreasonable to choose one that would be within the years that the current players or recruits or, heck, you have been alive.

Historically sure, but I'm curious about during last 20 years or so, which would be the lives of most current recruits? Genuinely not sure how it would look then.

Derryck Thornton would've looked nice in Maize and Blue, but we've got more depth than we know what to do with
November 17th, 2015 at 8:25 PM ^
Why can't we have just one? Just one.

Depends on how much you saved up...I'd imagine the going rate is pretty steep right now.
