Game time announced for Ohio State - Kansas in CBS Sports Classic
Ohio State will take on the Kansas Jayhawks in the CBS Sports Classic in December, and the tip-off time has been set.
The Ohio State basketball team has been a familiar face in the CBS Sports Classic since its inception in 2014. The Classic features four teams facing off in a doubleheader non-conference matchup in mid-December. Over the years, the Buckeys have faced the likes of Kentucky , North Carolina , and UCLA with a record of 7-6 overall in the event.
Not a bad showing for a "football" school. This year, the Classic will welcome a new face as the Bruins step aside and the Kansas Jayhawks join the party. As we found out in January , Ohio State will face Kansas in the CBS Sports Classic this year, and now we know the time.
The Buckeyes and Jayhawks will kick things off at noon ET, with Kentucky and North Carolina tipping off at 2:30 ET. The games will take place in New York City at Madison Square Garden.
