Hours before the Kentucky Wildcats left Lexington to head to Las Vegas for a matchup with the Ohio State Buckeyes, news came through of a COVID-19 outbreak within the Buckeyes program, leaving UK without an opponent for the CBS Sports Classic this weekend.
Similar to what happened to Ohio State, the North Carolina and UCLA game was ultimately canceled due to an outbreak within the Bruins program.
That brings us to a new scheduled matchup between the Cats and the Tar Heels in Vegas.
