It’s one of the biggest days of the year for Kentucky Basketball. At 5:15 p.m., the Wildcats host the Louisville Cardinals in Rupp Arena in the first rivalry game of a new era. It’s the Cats versus the Cards with Game 1 bragging rights on the line for both sides, each with new head coaches and brand new rosters.

Before the game tips off, the KSR Pregame Show is live from KSBar and Grille, only a short, 25-minute walk from Rupp. Matt Jones, Ryan Lemond, and Drew Franklin will preview the game from KSBar from 2:30-3:30 p.m. while taking calls from any fans who want to share their thoughts and predictions.

If you’re one of those fans, call 859-280-2287 to talk to the show about the game ahead. Or if you’d rather just listen, you can tune in on 630 WLAP in Lexington or 840 WHAS in Louisville, or stream the show anywhere in the world on the iHeart Radio app or online

Go Cats. Beat the Cards.
