Kentucky vs. Western Kentucky: Get the latest basketball updates, highlights and scores
Kentucky men's basketball has spent the past two games scrambling.
The No. 18 Wildcats (8-2) had to replace Ohio State with North Carolina last Saturday in the CBS Sports Classic in Las Vegas due to COVID-19 in the Buckeyes' program, and had to do so again in its storied in-state rivalry with Louisville on Wednesday due to the same issues in the Cardinals' program.
Instead, the Wildcats will take on Western Kentucky in a game to raise money for tornado relief efforts.

"We were all disappointed to learn we won’t be able to play Louisville on Wednesday, but I am thrilled we were able to come together quickly and put this game together for everyone in this state,” Kentucky coach John Calipari said in a news release. "I want to thank Western Kentucky for working with us on short notice. Not only will this be a great test for our team, but we will be able to provide aid to the Western Kentucky region and lift the spirits of some special people who really need it."
