CBS Sports Classic
The CBS Sports Classic is an annual American college basketball event that began in 2014.
Four teams are participating – Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio State, and UCLA. Each team has played one game each year, as a double-header – that is, both games played on the same day – so that they played a round-robin tournament over the first three years.[1] Both games are annually broadcast on U.S. television on CBS Sports.
On December 13, 2016, the CBS Sports Classic was renewed for three more years.[2]
