One game that has been known for some time is the CBS Sports Classic game between the Cats and Ohio State in Las Vegas. Now while Ohio State is a solid top-25 opponent, it is not a team that really excites the fanbase. The other game on that day is North Carolina and UCLA, another “meh” matchup.
When I sit back and remember the games in this classic, three immediately come to mind. The 2014-15 team’s utter domination of UCLA. That game might have been the most dominating win in program history.
The next game was another one in Vegas where Malik Monk had the best single game performance in the Calipari era with his 47-points against North Carolina.
