The college basketball season has commenced and last night we saw four blue blood programs facing off in the eighth year of the Champions Classic. The night cap of the double-header was the one to watch, as #4 Duke faced off against #2 Kentucky. These two teams came into the season with the top two recruiting classes and the new faces shined last night for Duke, not so much Kentucky.

Duke somehow signed three of the top four recruits in college basketball last season: Cam Reddish, R.J. Barrett, and Zion Williamson. All three of these young freshman scored over 20 points (32 for Barrett, 22 for Reddish, and 28 for Williamson) and dominated the Kentucky Wildcats all game. The game was never close as Duke put up 59 points at the end of the first half on the way to their 118-84 route of the Wildcats.

How Duke's ranking slipped down to fourth is beyond me, with these three phenomenal talents all playing in the same lineup, Duke has to be the favorite for the rest of the season. This was a big time win for the Blue Devils, and it didn't come against a cupcake lower level team like usual, it was against one of the best teams in the country.

Kentucky who has experience in their Senior transfer Reid Travis along with returning players like P.J. Washington and Quade Green was favored to win the game last night, but couldn't keep up with the Blue Devils' offense. Travis was among the top scorers for Kentucky, posting 22 in his debut in the blue and white. The Wildcats were led by freshman wing player Keldon Johnson with 23 points, sharpshooter Tyler Herro also dropped 14 in the losing effort.

Zion Williamson showed why he was the top recruit in the class, not just pulling out impressive dunks, but stretching the floor and showing he can shoot jumpers as well. If Williamson can consistently make shots from outside the paint, it would almost be impossible to guard him on a nightly basis.

The college basketball season is a long one, and as long as you make it into the NCAA Tournament, the regular season doesn't mean much. But after that opening dominant performance from Duke, they have to be on a lot of people's radar to cut down the nets in March.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
