You know you have a rabid fan base — and interest from The Worldwide Leader — when your Alumni Game gets broadcast on ESPNU.
Your Alumni Game.
That’s the case for Kentucky which will have its Alumni Charity Game telecast on ESPNU on Sunday at 5:30 p.m. from Rupp Arena.
The game will feature UK players either currently or formerly playing professionally against North Carolina players either currently or formerly playing professionally.
“The Big Blue Nation will have an opportunity to enjoy some of the top talent to don the Blue and White against other elite talent,” a school release says. “Per NBA rules, the University of Kentucky cannot confirm individual players participating in the exhibition game.”
Tom Hart will call the game alongside UK Athletics Hall of Famer and former UK men’s basketball star Tony Delk, who recently had his jersey retired in Rupp Arena, and former North Carolina forward Jason Capel. Kaylee Hartung will serve as the sideline reporter.
Kentucky coach John Calipari recently said he invited Michael Jordan to coach the Carolina alums, but he was unavailable.
