INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Kansas Quentin Grimes and Dedric Lawson made quite an impression Tuesday night.

They produced basket after basket, big play after big play. If they keep playing this way, No. 1 Kansas might just stay on top of the college basketball world.

Grimes scored 21 points in his college debut and Lawson added 20 points in his first game with the Jayhawks, helping Kansas stymie No. 10 Michigan States late charge for a 92-87 victory in the season-opening Champions Classic.
