Can the Kentucky Wildcats beat Duke in the State Farm Champions Classic?
Kentucky basketball fans won’t have to wait long to see Mark Pope’s first Kentucky team play in a big game during the 2024-25 season. The Wildcats will play the Duke Blue Devils in Atlanta in the State Farm Champions Classic. This game will be played on November 12th and should bring a lot of eyes as a Duke team, which many expect to be elite, will take on a Kentucky team under a new regime.
Duke has the number one recruiting class, highlighted by the number one player in the class, Cooper Flagg, who many expect to be the number one pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. To go along with Flagg Duke has another three five-star recruits. Their class has six total players, with all of them being ranked in the top 40 of the recruiting rankings.
The Blue Devils also brought in four transfers with three of them being four-stars in the portal rankings.
This will be a game where Kentucky has a real chance, as it will be early in the season, and this Kentucky team has played in some big moments. These transfers are all older players, and this should help Coach Pope’s team not crumble under the bright lights.
While Duke will likely be ranked in the top five and favored in this game, the Wildcats are more than capable of winning. This would be a massive statement by Coach Pope if he got his Kentucky tenure going with a massive win over an extremely talented Duke team. This basketball game will be a good one that draws a huge crowd.

A wide receiver from Belle Glade, Florida, Gilmore totaled 28 receptions for 313 yards and one touchdown for the Wildcats during the 2025 season. The 6-foot-1 sophomore has had a very interesting offseason as he entered the portal, flipped a commitment, and is now back in Lexington.
After the 2025 season, Gilmore committed to Louisville when he entered the transfer portal, then flipped his commitment to Baylor, and ultimately signed with the Bears. To end Gilmore’s portal saga, he’s now back in a familiar place with the Wildcats.
When the 2026 season begins, Gilmore will have two years of eligibility remaining.
Gilmore had a solid sophomore campaign with the Wildcats, appearing in all 12 games. His best game of the season came in the late-season loss against Vanderbilt. He tallied six catches for 55 yards in the game.
With Kentucky losing most of its wide receiver production from last season, this is a significant pickup, and it won’t be surprising if Gilmore is back in the starting lineup this fall.
As for the Aggies, the only name on the report is Mackenzie Mgbako, a one-time Kentucky target who remains out for the season after undergoing foot surgery. Texas A&M head coach Bucky McMilan said today that Mgbako will return next season, which would be a big boost for the Aggies before the offseason begins.
