Looking for its first win over a ranked foe, 13th-ranked Kentucky plays No. 16 UCLA in the CBS Sports Classic on Saturday. As you might guess, CBS has the television coverage. Tipoff is set for approximately 5:15 p.m. after the event’s first game pitting Ohio State vs. North Carolina.
Kentucky is 7-2 on the season for head coach John Calipari. UCLA is 9-2 for head coach Mick Cronin. The Bruins are coming off an impressive 87-60 thumping of Maryland in College Park on Wednesday.
