If so, who with? Connecticut sounds fun. Who you got?
Should Michigan State be replaced in the champions classic?
- Thread starter Boyd94
- Start date
I could go for that. UCLA or Arizona would work too.
I like the idea of keeping the original four teams as is. I have thought of why North Carolina was not one of the original teams selected instead of Michigan State. Then you'd actually have the four true blue bloods (at least in my mind) in the Champions Classic.
Because Duke is in it . Plus , UNC is the other pre season event UK is in . The real question is why Ohio State is involved in it
Would love to have Zona in the Champions classic or the CBS thing.

There are 2 preseason events and UK is the ONLY team in BOTH ! One has KU , Duke and MSU. The other has UCLA , UNC and OSU . IF ANY team is questionable as a blue blood ---- it is OSU , by a mile !!!
UK might want to win a game soon or else people will be asking the same about UK.
OSU isn’t. They are in the CBS event same as UNC. CBS event is UK, UCLA, UNC, OSU.
KY, Kansas, Duke, MSU. MSU should be dropped for UConn or a west coast team (not UCLA bc they are also in the CBS)
The fact that we are the only team included in the 2 biggest CBB events that together cover every blueblood is further evidence that we are historically the biggest brand and top dog in CBB despite the last 5 years.
Same record as Kentucky overall. Has a victory this decade. Kentucky winless this decade.
If they switch Indiana for Ohio State, it would make more sense.
Then you'd have UK, UCLA, UNC, and Indiana in one tourney; and UK, MSU, Duke, and Kansas in the other.
How awesome would it be to have a yearly tournament where you had UK, Kansas, UNC, Duke, UCLA, Indiana, UConn, and Michigan State?
They could call it the "Blueblood Classic." Have it every year at Thanksgiving. Ratings would be solid. Everyone's at home with their extended families watching America's premier program clash during Thanksgiving week.
No. Why would they?
I'm kinda over the classic anyways though. Hope when cal leaves we play in a real ooc tourney again.

Pretty sure this event was their idea, so no they won't be replaced.
Amen…..people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones at others. We have been putrid in this event for awhile.
UNC cant be added. Because it goes against ACC rules. You can't play conference opponents in non-con.
Replace them with New Mexico State so Cal can get a win in it again. Just saying.
Lol, so Michigan State should be ousted, but Kentucky, who has been so stellar these past few seasons, should stay.
Sometimes Kentucky fans need to realize their shit stinks like everyone else’s and think before making silly posts.

Michigan State doesn't interest me. They have very little history. I think Connecticut would be more fun. But keep thinking that anyone gives a damn about your off base opinions.
Hell Kentucky should be replaced with the way they have played in the champions classic recently. I rather get rid of the champion classic and the cbs sports classic. Play home & homes with good teams and enter in-season tourneys like the Maui and the battle for Atlantis
Cal would never agree to do that. Same reason we don’t play events like Maui anymore. He hates the tourney format, he only wants to do these things if it’s a single stand alone game.
UK should be replaced.. They lost the last 4 or 5 games in this… so yeah…
Over the past 25 years UCONN has been exactly what we all thought we were going to be when Cal first came here. It’s increasingly silly to leave them out of anything like this.
Uh, why exactly would Gonzaga be invited to play for a "Champions" Cup Trophy?
Was going to post this as well. We need a win.
How could you have IU in it and call it the blue blood classic. iU is trash and has been for several decades.
First, read these comments and come back to “off base comments”. And don’t post asinine things and not expect rebuttal you goof
Second, it doesn’t matter if Michigan state doesn’t appeal to you. They’re not playing to stroke your ego. Go start your own tournament.
Because historically they're probably the fifth or sixth best program all time. It's not hard to figure out why I included them. There's still a household name and they have a great fan base. It's either them or UConn.
I use to think it should be UNC instead of Mich st. But honestly, Michigan st has been better than Kentucky . Kent that’s been the worst of the 4 teams
Go cry on your own thread little girl. Leave the discussion here to the grown ups. This is a discussion board after all. Don't like the topic, don't respond.
I can see why UNC isn't included because of the Duke thing. Maybe Indiana. We have history with them and it would keep us from having to play in Ass hall.
