If it still feels like the preseason that is certainly understandable. To many folks, even in the Bluegrass state, the month of November is still dedicated to football season.

On Tuesday evening, the Kentucky Men’s Basketball team will suit up for their annual appearance in the Champions Classic. For many, this event is the honorary start to the college basketball season. Played at the United Center in Chicago this year, the event will feature Duke-Michigan State followed by Kansas-Kentucky.
