The 2022 Champions Classic is set to mark the 12th annual edition of the event this Tuesday with the event kicking off with No. 4 Kentucky facing Michigan State in Indianapolis.
The matchup is Kentucky’s first true test of the young season, with its two previous matchups being against less high-stakes opponents in Howard and Duquesne.
The Champions Classic is an early season tradition between blue-bloods Kentucky, Kansas, Duke and Michigan State, which features the programs playing each other every year in a neutral site. Last season, Kentucky faced off against Duke in a 79-71 loss.
