Thing is, Kentucky’s players lack experience in a Champions Classic-type setting. Butler did play in a Final Four at San Diego State. And Kriisa played at Arizona. For the most part, their teammates have played at more mid-level Division I schools that rarely made their way onto the bigger stages.

While Kentucky fans have a lot of confidence heading into this game ESPN does not share that same confidence in the Wildcats. ESPN gives Kentucky a 29.3% chance to take down Duke

On Tuesday, Duke renews pleasantries with Kentucky in the Champions Classic, and while we’ll have a proper review posted presently, it’s probably a good idea to talk about Kentucky a bit, because Kentucky is certainly talking about Duke.

With two games under its belt where Duke proved itself the fastest, toughest team on the court, the Blue Devils met their match in a high-powered offense that was firing on all cylinders in Maryland.

The No. 11 Duke Blue Devils and No. 18 Maryland Terrapins battle it out in a top 25 matchup in College Park, Md. on Sunday.

The Terps won their rematch against an old ACC foe thanks to 23 points from Kaylene Smikle and 17 from Shyanne Sellers.
