How to follow Saturday’s Kentucky basketball game vs. North Carolina in the CBS Sports Classic at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Kentucky (9-1) is ranked No. 6 in The Associated Press media poll and No. 7 in the USA Today coaches poll. North Carolina (10-1) is rated No. 7 by the media and No. 6 by the coaches.

The game time is listed as 5:45 p.m. EST but could tip off a few minutes earlier or later than that because it’s the second game of a doubleheader. No. 2 UCLA takes on Ohio State in the first game of the CBS Sports Classic at 3 p.m. EST.
