LAS VEGAS—On Friday, organizers for the CBS Sports Classic announced a revised schedule for this year's event, which will be held Saturday at T-Mobile Arena.

North Carolina will face Kentucky at 5:30 p.m. ET on Saturday. The game will be broadcast on CBS and streamed on Paramount+.

Due to COVID-19 protocols, Ohio State and UCLA will not participate in the CBS Sports Classic. The Tar Heels originally had been scheduled to play UCLA.
