Listen to the KSR Pregame Show before the Champions Classic tips off
Kentucky is in New York City for the first neutral-site game of Mark Pope’s second season. The Wildcats play Michigan State in the first game of the 2026 Champions Classic, set for a 6:30 p.m. tip in Madison Square Garden. The good guys are a slight favorite in the desert, playing to erase the bad taste of last Tuesday’s loss to Louisville.
Before the need-to-win game tips off, the KSR Pregame Show with Matt Jones, Ryan Lemond, and Drew Franklin is live from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. with a preview of the action. If you want to be heard on the show, join the conversation by phone at (859) 280-2287 to share your thoughts on the game, or, even better, to check in from New York.
To listen anywhere in the world, tune your radio dial to 630 WLAP in Lexington or 840 WHAS in Louisville, or stream the show on iHeartRadio.
Go Cats. Beat the Spartans.
