Kentucky’s Collin Chandler made it an even more memorable weekend for himself for the holidays in New York.

While in The Big Apple for the Wildcats’ game in the CBS Sports Classic against Ohio State, Chandler got down on a knee in Central Park and proposed.

Chandler is a freshman on the roster this season at UK. He has appeared in 10 games off of the bench and, in eight minutes a contest, is averaging 2.0 points, 0.7 rebounds, 0.7 steaks, and 0.4 assists per game while shooting 41.2% from the field and 25% from three. That includes six minutes played with an assist, a steal, and a pair of fouls against the Buckeyes.

This comes after Chandler, who originally committed to Mark Pope at BYU, followed him to Lexington. However, as the No. 35 recruit in the country and a four-star in 2022, he did not immediately come to college as he went on a two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Sierra Leone as well as London. That makes him a 21-year-old freshman for them to continue to develop over his career there.

However, this, along with the other off-court plans, was all that went well for Kentucky in NYC. The Wildcats, coming in ranked fourth in the nation, were upset by Ohio State by a final score of 85-65. That one really got away from the Wildcats in the end, especially in the second half, in the 20-point margin as they shot just 29.8% from the field and 18.2% from three while the Buckeyes shot 56.6% overall.
