    REACTION: Michigan State basketball DOMINATES Duke in Champions Classic; Jeremy Fears, Cam Ward ball

    Michigan State Spartans basketball dominate Duke with a wire-to-wire victory in the Champions Classic, sending a message to the national college hoops scene. Is this the most talented MSU roster in years?

The conversation focused on Michigan State’s suffocating defense, the impact of bench pieces like Carlos Medlock and Caleb Glenn, and whether Tom Izzo’s squad finally boasts more NBA-level talent than traditional powerhouse Duke.
