A pair of college basketball’s high-profile first-year coaches will clash in the CBS Sports Classic on Dec. 21, when Kentucky and Ohio State square off in the second of two marquee matchups. CBS and Paramount+ will air both games, beginning with UCLA vs. Ohio State at 3 p.m., followed by the showdown between the Wildcats and Buckeyes.
The game will mark an early national showcase opportunity for UK’s revamped program under Mark Pope as the Wildcats take on an Ohio State team that has also undergone a makeover since Jake Diebler’s promotion to head coach. Both games will be played inside New York’s Madison Square Garden as the event returns to one of basketball’s most hallowed venues for the second time in the past three years.
