Kentucky basketball, here’s your chance.
You want to make the college hoops world forget the season opener, right? You want to make that cover-your-eyes 118-84 demolition at the hands of the dastardly Duke Blue Devils be seen as a first-game fluke rather than a stone-cold fact, right? On a national stage, against a bright lights opponent, you want a shot at sweet redemption.
Here’s your shot. The CBS Sports Classic. Saturday at the United Center in Chicago. You know, the arena Michael Jordan built. The same Michael Jordan, who as president of the Charlotte Hornets gave guard Malik Monk, your former star, a love tap on the back of the head this past week when Monk picked up a silly technical foul.
