Duke vs. Kansas live score, updates, highlights from 2022 Champions Classic basketball game

The second game of the Champions Classic will feature two of the Final Four teams from the 2022 March Madness — and a massive debut.

No. 7 Duke’s matchup vs. No. 6 Kansas isn’t just one of the biggest early games of the year: It also marks the first game for Jon Scheyer, who has the unenviable task of replacing Mike Krzyzewski, arguably the greatest coach in men’s college basketball history.

But Krzyzewski chose Scheyer as his successor for a reason, and the latter takes over a practically self-sustaining program. In terms of experience, however, he falls well short of the coach opposite him in Bill Self, coming off his second NCAA Tournament championship. That said, the Jayhawks coach has been suspended to start the season due to allegations of recruiting violations.

Either way, the meeting between Duke and Kansas will be a bona fide battle of blue bloods. And the Sporting News is tracking everything from the 2022 Champions Classic:
