Champions Classic faces a shakeup as Kansas’ Darryn Peterson likely sits, dimming hopes for a headline showdown with Duke’s Cameron Boozer. Hosts Isaac Shade, Derek Johnson, Lance Dawe, Matt Sheehan, and J.J. Jackson convene for a dynamic roundtable, unpacking injury storylines, rivalry stats, and which blue blood is poised for an early-season statement at Madison Square Garden.

The panel debates how Kentucky adapts without Jaland Lowe and how Michigan State handles their shooting slump, as well as key matchups to watch—like Boozer’s impact, Kansas’ depth, and Kentucky’s battle on the glass. Rapid-fire trivia, bold game predictions, and memorable Champions Classic moments keep the energy high. Can Mark Pope's Wildcats withstand Tom Izzo and Michigan State’s physicality? Will Duke’s length be too much for a shorthanded Kansas to fuel Jon Scheyer over Bill Self? Don’t miss this spirited breakdown of college basketball’s premier November showcase.
