It was a tough game for Michigan State on Tuesday night, losing the annual Champions Classic against the No. 1 Duke Blue Devils in Chicago. The game was back-and-forth all night long, but the Blue Devils hit some big shots down the stretch to put the game on ice.
Grayson Allen torched the Spartans for 37 points and continued to give Tom Izzo nightmares. Miles Bridges was quiet for most of the game, but finished with 19 points and the Spartans lost, 88-81. Still, this team stuck with the No. 1 squad in the land, and made it interesting.
