Tuesday's college basketball schedule brings one of the first true heavyweight matchups of the season, with Cooper Flagg and No. 6 Duke taking on No. 19 Kentucky at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, GA. It's the Wildcats' first season without John Calipari at the helm since 2009, with Mark Pope now calling the plays. Duke represents quite a stern test for the new regime.
