The 2024 Champions Classic features Duke, Kentucky , Kansas and Michigan State in Atlanta .

The game featured the debut of Mark Pope as Kentucky 's head coach and Duke 's Cooper Flagg as the face of college basketball in 2024-25 .

ESPN college basketball writers Jeff Borzello and Myron Medcalf break down the games and draft prospects from Tuesday night 's showdowns.

Kansas has three 24-year-old starters and five of its top eight scorers plucked from the portal.

Michigan State has looked pretty stale at times over the past few years , but it does give Izzo a pretty consistent floor.

The rest of college basketball, with few exceptions, would love to emulate that type of roster construction.
