About 2022 Champions Classic

The Champions Classic is the annual event to celebrate the tip-off of the NCAA Division I Men’s basketball season. Started in 2011, the round-robin set of games was set to be discontinued when all four teams had played each other, but the event has proved resoundingly popular with fans. Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, and Michigan State compete in the event every year, as a reward for their consistently excellent play.

Tip-off of game 1 is at 7 p.m., with preseason-ranked No. 4 Kentucky taking on Michigan State. Michigan State made it to the second round of last year’s NCAA March Madness tournament, before being bounced by Duke. Kentucky, meanwhile was upset in the first round by Elite 8 Cinderella St. Peters.

Game 2 will begin immediately followed by game 1 (currently scheduled to begin at 9:30 p.m.), and will feature No. 7 Duke and last year’s national champion No. 5 Kansas. Duke made the Final 4, before losing to regional rival North Carolina. Kansas avenged that loss in the tournament final, defeating the Tarheels 72-69.
