A Kentucky basketball legend will be joining a long list of program greats in the rafters of Rupp Arena.
The late, great Mike Pratt, who passed away back in June, will have his jersey retired as a player, coach and analyst on February 4 when his beloved Wildcats take on the Florida Gators at home. The University of Kentucky announced the special honor on Monday.
“It is with great pride, great excitement and tremendous emotion that we have an opportunity to raise Mike’s name to the rafters of Rupp Arena and retire his jersey,” UK Athletics Director Mitch Barnhart announced Monday evening.
