Description

Since 2002, Mike Pratt and Tom Leach have been as much a part of Kentucky basketball as Rupp Arena itself, as longtime color analysts for the UK Radio Network. This collection of candid and intimate conversations between Pratt and Leach gifts fans and readers insights into every season from 2002 to 2021—observations that only they could share. Pratt and Leach cover it all here: the games, the players, the coaches, and the moments that stood out.
