Nov. 14--4. North Carolina at Kentucky, Dec. 13
It's the first of three tough games for the Wildcats, who then play UCLA (in Chicago) and rival Louisville. The blueblood teams each have the talent to reach the Final Four.
3. Michigan State vs. Duke, Nov. 18
The Spartans' new leaders will be tested against four big-name Duke freshmen. The Midwestern crowd should be behind the Spartans in the Champions Classic warm-up act in Indianapolis, a familiar arena for the Big Ten champs.
2. Duke at Wisconsin, Dec. 3
Wisconsin senior Frank Kaminsky versus Duke freshman Jahlil Okafor? Yes, please! Besides the individual showdown, the Big Ten-ACC Challenge game features two top-five teams.
1. Kentucky vs. Kansas, Nov. 18
The headline game of the Champions Classic could very well preview the NCAA title game. A group of heralded freshmen (four on each team) will present a getting-to-know-you event.
