The CBS Sports Classic is still going strong. After missing out on last year’s event because of a rise in COVID-19 cases, Ohio State will play North Carolina in this year’s event. And this time, it’ll be in the world’s most famous arena, Madison Square Garden on December 17. Stadium’s Jeff Goodman first reported the news.
The CBS Sports Classic has been in place since 2014. It pits Ohio State, UCLA, North Carolina, and Kentucky in a four-team event with teams rotating around to play one game against another each year.
The Buckeyes were set to play the Wildcats last season but both that game and the North Carolina vs. UCLA game were shelved because of pandemic issues within the OSU and UCLA programs. Kentucky ended up facing North Carolina in a quick shell game to allow at least one game.
