Michigan State to play at Duke on Dec. 1 in Champions Classic

A complete schedule has yet to be finalized, but Michigan State can add one more game to the calendar for the upcoming college basketball season.

The Spartans will face Duke on Dec. 1 as part of the Champions Classic, a source confirmed to The News on Friday. The game will be played on Duke’s campus at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Kentucky and Kansas — the other two teams in the event — will play the same day in Indianapolis.

According to a report from CBS Sports, the reason both games won’t be played at a neutral site is because the conferences each school belongs to — the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12 and SEC — have different COVID-19 protocols.
