UK vs. Ohio State is off due to COVID-19; Rick Pitino and Iona are free that day

As COVID-19 outbreaks continue surging across the country, many sports leagues are being heavily affected, including college basketball.

Now, it’s led to a Kentucky Wildcats basketball game being cancelled.

Saturday’s CBS Sports Classic clash between Kentucky and Ohio State has been called off due to COVID-19 issues within the Buckeyes’ program. Kentucky has confirmed the news while saying the school is searching for a new opponent to play Saturday, possibly in the CBS Sports Classic.

“The CBS Sports Classic is currently working with UK Athletics to find a possible replacement game to fill Saturday’s void,” the school announced.
