BREAKING: Kentucky vs. Ohio State canceled due to COVID-19
Kentucky’s game against Ohio State on Saturday has been canceled due to COVID-19 results within the Buckeye basketball program.
Ohio State announced the cancellation Thursday afternoon.
“The Ohio State University men’s basketball game vs. Kentucky in the CBS Sports Classic Saturday has been canceled due to positive COVID-19 results within the Buckeye basketball program,” OSU announced. “The game, scheduled to be played in Las Vegas, will not be rescheduled,” OSU announced.
“The safety and well-being of the student-athletes, coaches, staff, and Ohio State community is the highest priority. All team-related activities have been suspended and the players and staff will continue to be tested according to Ohio State protocols in consultation with the Big Ten Conference.
“The status of future games is to be determined.”
The CBS Sports Classic is currently working with UK Athletics to find a possible replacement game to fill Saturday’s void.
At the timing of this release, UK was still scheduled to make the trip to Las Vegas in hopes of finding a game.
UK Athletics will have additional updates at a later time.
