The Kentucky Wildcats have started the season 10-1 but are now only going to be playing basketball twice before the end of the 2024 calendar year. They take on the Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday, December 21, and then 10 days go by before they finish the year playing Brown on New Year's Eve. It's going to be a whole lot of waiting to see the Wildcats. However, it comes at a good time, as they ran through a tough stretch of games and lost two point guards to injury. While Lamont Butler was able to come back and play in the last game, a few extra days of rest will help.
The next game against the Ohio State Buckeyes is a special one as they get to take part in the CBS Sports Classic at Madison Square Garden in New York City. One of the most iconic basketball facilities in all the world.

This game is nationally televised on CBS, and you can find it with basic cable or even your old-fashioned rabbit ears (do they still have those?). CBS is a local channel, and you can find it on your regular list of channels. If you would rather stream it, you can use this link to watch it on your local browser. However, you may need to verify a cable package or subscription. You can also watch it via the CBS Sports app with similar restrictions.
Two other teams are participating in the CBS Sports Classic: North Carolina and UCLA. That game will take place before the Kentucky vs. Ohio State and thus may end up pushing the tip-off time back, so be on the lookout for that day of the game.
