Duke Basketball: 5 Keys to Beating Michigan State

The Duke basketball team has its first major test of the 2017-18 season on Tuesday night as it faces Michigan State in the Champions Classic at the United Center in Chicago.

The Blue Devils and Spartans are No. 1 and 2 in the polls respectively, and it could be a preview of a potential Final Four matchup later this season.

Duke began the season with dominant wins over Elon and Utah Valley, while Michigan State kicked things off with a 98-66 victory over North Florida.

The game is scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m. and will be televised on ESPN.
