Ohio State men’s basketball is facing COVID-19 issues, and after positive test results, Saturday’s game against Kentucky in the CBS Sports Classic has been canceled.
The Wildcats said in a statement that event organizers are working with the program to find an opponent to fill the gap. At the time of the press release, Kentucky was still scheduled to make the trip “in hopes of finding a game,” the school announced.
Stadium’s Jeff Goodman reported that the replacement could be North Carolina, who is slated to play UCLA in the same Las Vegas classic on Saturday afternoon.
