Each weekday, our college hoops experts discuss the biggest issues, trends and themes in the college basketball world.
1. What is the most intriguing player matchup in the Champions Classic?
Andy Katz: Denzel Valentine vs. the Kansas guards. The Jayhawks have loads of experience with Frank Mason III, Wayne Selden and Brannen Greene. This will be one of Valentine's toughest tests. If he can produce against Kansas he will be well on his way to a banner season.
Myron Medcalf: Well, hopefully we'll see a lot of Duke's Grayson Allen against Kentucky's Jamal Murray in Chicago.
