Kentucky tips off its run in the GLOBL Jam this afternoon. Because this is a FIBA (International Basketball Federation) event, there are different rules than those you’re used to in NCAA Basketball. Kentucky play-by-play announcer Tom Leach shared some on Twitter this morning as he prepares for today’s broadcast. As we count down to the tipoff of Kentucky vs. Team Germany, let’s review them.
