Chase Jeter will have to step up on both ends of the floor and stay out of foul trouble for a Duke team without many frontcourt options against Kansas.

Top-ranked Duke will be put to an early test Tuesday at about 9:30 p.m. against No. 7 Kansas at Madison Square Garden in New York in the Champions Classic. All eyes will be on freshman wing Josh Jackson for the Jayhawks, but three of the Blue Devils' most prized recruits will all likely be out with injuries. Duke has lost in the Champions Classic in two of the last three years and will look to reverse that trend with a statement win in its third game of the season.

The Chronicle's Brian Pollack and Hank Tucker broke down what the Blue Devils need to do to win and discussed how they think Tuesday's game will play out. There were audio difficulties at the beginning of the video, but fast forward to the 2:45 mark to watch and listen to the rest.
