Kentucky Wildcats Overcome Scrappy Buckeyes in Anticipated CBS Sports Classic Showdown
The Kentucky Wildcats face another scrappy opponent this Saturday, taking on the Ohio State Buckeyes in the CBS Sports Classic at Madison Square Garden. Despite Ohio State’s recent struggles, Kentucky Mark Pope isn’t underestimating their 7-4 record or the Buckeyes’ potent offense.
“Terrific team, they shoot the ball at an unbelievable clip. I think, as a team, they’re shooting 41% from the 3-point line. They play fast. They play hard,” Pope said, emphasizing Ohio State’s ability to make things difficult.
The Wildcats (10-1) are riding high after a 93-85 victory over Louisville and signature wins against Gonzaga and Duke earlier this season. Though Kentucky has thrived against tough competition, they’ll need to break their CBS Sports Classic drought, where they are 0-2 versus Ohio State.
Fans can expect a fast-paced, high-scoring affair as both teams excel at pushing the tempo and firing from deep. Will the Wildcats overcome their history against the Buckeyes and continue their stellar season? Tune in Saturday to find out.
