No. 4 Kentucky men’s basketball (10-2) fell to Ohio State (8-4) in the CBS Sports Classic 85-65.

Coming off of an eight-point win over their in-state rivals, Louisville, the Cats took to the “world’s most famous arena,” Madison Square Garden, in New York City looking to up their win streak to four-straight games.

However, poor shooting and the lack of converting simple layups sucked the life out of the Cats and their chances.

In the “big apple”, UK shot a daunting 17-57 (29.8%) from the field and an inferior 4-22 (18.2%) from downtown on 22 attempted triples.
