The CBS Sports Classic is back for a 9th installment in 2022, and the marquee non-conference doubleheader is returning to a big-time venue.

According to Jeff Goodman with Stadium, the 2022 Classic is set to be played at Madison Square Garden and will be played on Dec. 17. Kentucky will draw UCLA while Ohio State will face North Carolina.

Kentucky is 4-4 all-time in the CBS Sports Classic and beat North Carolina last season. The Wildcats were originally scheduled to play Ohio State last season but both the Buckeyes and UCLA were forced to cancel due to COVID-19 issues. Kentucky last played UCLA in the series during 2017, an 83-75 Bruins victory.

The 2022 edition will be the first time the CBS Sports Classic is played at Madison Square Garden. It was most recently played at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
