Lateral vs straight.

The big question is will they be organized enough to play Michigan State in two weeks?

It's early season for everyone. I'd guess it'll be sloppy on both sides. Lots of guys in new roles for them too.

I'm not going to make any determinations based on one exhibition game in October.

The Champions Classic is never pretty, for anybody.

Not sure of our record in the CC, but i'm guessing it is below .500. It is fun to win because the whole college basketball world is watching and we are playing against the best of the best. But the outcome is meaningless.

KU 3-4

duke 4-3
uk 4-3
msu 3-4

Looking at Michigan State’s roster, I see 5 juniors, 2 seniors, 2 sophomores, and 7 freshmen. I don’t know who starts, etc., but that sounds like a lot of experience.
