The Champions Classic was technically held in 2020-21, but it wasn’t the Champions Classic. Rescheduled and moved due to COVID-19, the event was ultimately split into two locations, one for each game. Kentucky vs. Kansas took place in Indianapolis at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, while Duke vs. Michigan State was held at Cameron Indoor Stadium — a makeshift home game for the Blue Devils. Neither venue allowed fans.
The matchup in Durham was one thing. Duke got a home game and no travel, while Michigan State walked away with an early road win.
