The most bizarre season of college basketball continues to churn. North Carolina basketball has an update to its schedule: UNC will now play Kentucky this Saturday (12/19) instead of Ohio State. UCLA and Ohio State are now the second matchup.
This adjustment was made to more closely align testing policies of the competing teams and conferences.
UNC and Kentucky will start at 2 p.m. on Saturday.

Despite bringing in the nation’s No. 1 recruiting class, Kentucky (1-4) has sputtered to start the 2020-21 season. The Wildcats have lost four straight games, including two against ACC competition: Georgia Tech and Notre Dame.
