Duke vs. Kentucky: How to watch, TV channel, streaming, start time, predicted lineups and stats

Blue-blood programs collide in the 2024 Champions Classic as the No. 7 Duke Blue Devils take on the No. 23 Kentucky Wildcats.

The Wildcats have a completely new rotation after its players either left for the NBA or transferred after former coach John Calipari departed the program. The new-look Kentucky team has plenty of experience with transfer upperclassmen Koby Brea and Otega Oweh leading the way under head coach Mark Pope.

Duke has a young team led by Cooper Flagg, Kon Knueppel and Khaman Maluach, but the duo of Caleb Foster and Tyrese Proctor brings experience to head coach Jon Scheyer's squad.

Both teams enter this matchup with 2-0 records, and this will be each side's first game against a ranked opponent.
