Wake up with the KSR Pregame Show before Pope vs. Pitino in Atlanta

Finally, the exciting coaching matchup you’ve been waiting for. Today, Mark Pope’s Kentucky plays Rick Pitino’s St. John’s in the CBS Sports Classic in Atlanta. A huge opportunity for both sides, and a reunion of the 1996 NCAA champions on the sideline.

Memories aside, Kentucky is still in need-to-win territory to bolster that non-conference slate before SEC play begins in two weeks. UK has some momentum after beating Indiana in a rivalry game last week, and a win in today’s CBS Sports Classic will pump more excitement back into the season after a very disappointing start.

Before the action begins in Atlanta, the KSR Pregame Show will broadcast live from Lexington beginning at 10:00 a.m. Matt Jones, Ryan Lemond, and Drew Franklin will preview the game and take Saturday morning calls from the listeners, so dial in at (859) 280-2287 to share your predictions for the game, 1996 memories, or anything else.

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 Pitino.
