NCAA Basketball Doubleheader for the Ages Tonight

If you're a college basketball fan, there is no need to make plans for tonight. In fact, your plans are already made. The best doubleheader to my recent memory will take place tonight and it's even in the same building. The Champions Classic held at the United Center in Chicago will host 4 of the top 5 teams in the nation (Sorry Louisville for being excluded). In the first match of the night, the top

ranked team in the nation (and notably ranked 27th in www.notsportscenter.com 's NBA power rankings) the Kentucky Wildcats will take on Tom Izzo's Michigan State Spartans. The Spartans are the 2nd ranked team in the nation, setting up the first #1 vs. #2 matchup since #1 Memphis lost to #2 Tennessee in 2008. If this matchup isn't enough for you, shortly after the #4 ranked Duke Blue Devils will take on Andrew Wiggins and the #5 ranked Kansas Jayhawks. For all 4 teams, this is their first chance this season to prove they can stack up with the best teams in the country. It is also allowing freshman like Andrew Wiggins to show if they really can play at this level, or if they'll falter. Well we will find out tonight on ESPN at 7:30 ET. Hopefully the power at my school is back on (Today is day 3 without power) or I'll have to take another trip to Buffalo Wild Wings tonight.
