Michigan State basketball will get its first real test of the year on Tuesday night in a big-time national spotlight matchup against No. 1 Kansas.
The Spartans and Jayhawks will tangle in the annual Champions Classic event. This year’s event will take place in Atlanta.
Michigan State comes into this matchup with a 2-0 record after a pair of blowout victories last week against Monmouth and Niagara. Kansas is also 2-0 on the year but with a more notable victory over top 10 North Carolina.

Michigan State vs. Kansas predictions, picks, odds
Michigan State 71, Kansas 81: Kansas is the No. 1 team in the country for a reason (well, many reasons), and I fear those will be on display in this game. I expect the Spartans to hang around in this one but the Jayhawks will be too much — especially in the paint — for Michigan State to pull the upset.
ODDS: Kansas -6.5
O/U: 149.5
