Champions Classic recap

8 thoughts on Kentucky’s breakthrough win over Duke and postgame notes

Kentucky’s completely revamped roster made quite an impression in the nationally televised Champions Classic.

www.aseaofblue.com

Yes, it was a solid win for the WIldcats! Oh, and Kansas won the opener, in case anyone cares.

Great game by both teams. Flagg is as advertised and that Damn Nipple Boy is just as good

 

[redseat]

Tough loss for Duke. Cooper Flag has a lot of pressure on him for sure.

[The Q]

Kansas doesn’t look like a #1

I think this really is Alabamas year
