KSR Today: Go Racers, Noah and Chandler, Cats in Colorado, and more

Good morning, friends. Long time no see. The hell happened while I was gone? I stepped away from the internet for a 40th birthday trip to Mexico, only to return to a long list of headlines. I thought mid-June was a safe time to unplug, but it turns out I missed an eventful week for Big Blue Nation. Vince Marrow, really???

Today, my first day back on the world wide web and KSR’s radio show, I am catching up on all I missed, which was a lot. While I do, here’s what’s ahead today and beyond. Thanks for all of the birthday wishes, by the way.

Catching up with Trent Noah and Collin Chandler

Later today, Trent Noah and Collin Chandler will hold a Q&A with the local media to talk a little Kentucky Basketball and the summer ahead. KSR will be there for the questioning part with the second-year Wildcats, so check back here later for a replay and rundown of their comments from the summer conversation.

Updates from USA U19 Training Camp in Colorado

Though the journey starts today, Mark Pope is out in Colorado Springs, Colorado, making his USA Basketball coaching debut with a couple of familiar faces, Jasper Johnson and Malachi Moreno, on the U19 Training Camp roster. The roster also includes several other players Pope hopes to eventually coach at Kentucky. The U19 camp features nine standouts from the 2026 recruiting class holding offers from Pope.

Above all, KSR’s Jack Pilgrim also made the trip to Colorado Springs to spy on the action. Read Jack’s updates from the scene below, and stick around for plenty more today.

Go Racers at 2 p.m.

Murray State Baseball’s dream season continues this afternoon when the Racers play Arkansas in the losers’ bracket of the College World Series. Each side dropped its first game in Omaha on Saturday, setting up today’s loser-goes-home match, set for 2 p.m. on ESPN. The winner will move on to play tomorrow night at 7 p.m. Go Racers.

Spotted: a Vince Marrow t-shirt at the CWS

If you watched Sunday’s College World Series action, you may have noticed a t-shirt poking fun at Vince Marrow’s move to Kentucky behind home plate. The fan’s homemade t-shirt read, “Vince Marrow Biggest Heel Turn Since John Cena.”
