It's an all-basketball episode of the Aaron Torres Podcast, as Aaron recaps both Champions Classic games, discussing another crushing loss for Kentucky basketball, and why he actually came away impressed with Duke even in a loss. Plus, Syracuse continues its tumble as a once-great program and Arkansas lands another five-star hoops prospect. Here's a full rundown:
Kentucky-Michigan State recap (2:00): Aaron opens with another crushing loss for Kentucky in their first big game of the season. Why this loss felt too familiar, but why there are positives as well. Also, what to make of Michigan State?
Kansas survives Duke (13:00): Next, Aaron talks about an even stranger game between Kansas and Duke. Kansas led early, Duke made its run and Kansas survived for the win. But AT explains why he actually came away more impressed with Duke than concerned.
Finally, Aaron wraps by discussing why Syracuse basketball is racing towards the bottom with another embarrassing loss (27:00), and Arkansas landing another five-star basketball recruit (30:00).
