In the night cap of the 2k18 State Farm Champions Classic we get the #2 Kentucky Wildcats taking on the #4 Duke Blue Devils. This game has NBA Green Room Implications as the #1 overall pick in the 2k19 NBA Draft might be one of two Dukies in PF Zion Williamson and Wing R.J. Barrett. What does all that mean to Kentucky in this game absolutely zero as they have plenty of top prospects as well.
The Wildcats will run on PF and Dallas, TX Native P.J. Washington as well as Stanford Transfer Reid Travis along with Nick Richards arguably giving the 'Cats the best front line in College Basketball outside of maybe Kansas. Watch Freshman guards Tyler Herro and Immanuel Quickley as they both have major game and should be a problem for Duke with their size and versatility.
Then you have the "Duke Brotherhood" as they might not go as deep as the 'Cats but their top three players are as good or if not better than any top 3 on one roster in the U.S. PF Zion Williamson, SF Cam Reddish and every body's All-American and the future of Steve Nash Barrett's Godfather) and Canada National Team Hoops R.J. Barrett.
Barrett will be the best overall player you will see talking both games as he is well beyond his years and I wish I could stick him in a Bulls Nation Jersey right now. Duke has speed and versatility as well but they are not as deep as UK. Foul trouble could be an issue for Duke and also watch the 4th freshman Tre Jones the younger Bro of Duke National Champion Tyus Jones from famed Apple Valley, MN H.S..

Kentucky must pound the Nike Orange all in the paint and dominate that smaller Duke front line. Zion Williamson for the first time in a game should have trouble getting off in and around the paint if the UK "Bigs" play "Big".
Perimeter Shooting as Duke has the edge with the likes of Cam Reddish and Barrett but Herro for UK is a bigger and just as athletic as one UK Hero from Owensboro, KY in Rex Chapman. The money ball will be a huge factor in this one.
With the speed and athleticism in this tilt Transition O vs Transition D will play big in this one...
Duke can ill afford to get into foul trouble in this one as their depth is not as deep nor is it as talented as UK and this might also play a factor in how Duke operates throughout the game as they should play Zone to keep everyone out of foul trouble...
Winner no pick'em its that close and enjoy this one...
