St. John's Red Storm will replace UCLA Bruins in the 2025 CBS Sports Classic, facing Kentucky Wildcats on December 20 at State Farm Arena, Atlanta. Coach Rick Pitino, who previously led Kentucky to a national championship, celebrated the matchup. His successful season with St. John's saw a 31-5 record and major titles. Meanwhile, Kentucky, under Mark Pope, ended with a 24-12 record and a Sweet 16 appearance. Pitino's game against Kentucky holds personal significance, marking his first matchup since coaching Louisville.
The CBS extravaganza will feature @StJohnsBBall vs mighty UK, in addition to Ohio st vs UNC. Hope to see you there!
This meeting also carries historical weight for Pitino. It will be Pitino's first game against Kentucky since the 2016-17 season with Louisville.
