INDIANAPOLIS — The Champions Classic is a great opportunity for NBA scouts to get eyes on a handful of NBA draft prospects early on in the season, and the two games Tuesday evening did not disappoint. The same four teams — Duke, Kentucky, Kansas and Michigan State — play each year with the four teams rotating opponents every season.
. Kentucky forward Oscar Tshiebwe fouled out early in the first overtime, and the Wildcats couldn't find rhythm offensively. Michigan State's Mady Sissoko caught multiple lobs to close out the game without Tshiebwe's presence in the lane defensively.
The second game between No. 6 Duke and No. 7 Kansas didn't tip off until after 10:30 p.m. ET, and it was a messy first half with numerous offensive fouls called on both teams. Kansas guards Jalen Wilson and Dajuan Harris Jr.

It was a tough shooting night from behind the arc for both teams with Wilson unable to connect on any of his six attempts from 3-point range.
"I couldn't take him out of the game because of what he was bringing to the team defensively," head coach John Calipari said after the game."When you look at what he did and the difference and the impact he had on the game, it was enormous."It was a two-point game with a little over two minutes remaining when Dick decided to take things over for the Jayhawks. In three consecutive possessions, Dick scored seven points and kept the win out of reach for Duke.
