On this fourth day of August, we want to wish former UK basketball player and current color analyst, Mike Pratt, a very happy birthday. The Dayton, Ohio native turns 71 years young today.
During his time in Lexington, Pratt averaged 16.8 points and 8.9 rebounds per game. Those numbers landed him in both the UK Athletics Hall of Fame and the state of Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame.
As a player, he was bestowed with honors like second team All-American, first team All-SEC twice and even becoming an Academic All-American.
After leaving Lexington, Pratt played two seasons for the Kentucky Colonels in the old ABA before making his way to the sidelines as a coach.
