    On the eve of another UK basketball postseason former Wildcat great Kyle Macy is our guest in this edition of the WUKY SportsPage. Kyle Macy is a member of the UK Athletics Hall of Fame and a three-time All-American at Kentucky who helped lead the Wildcats to the 1978 NCAA basketball championship. In this conversation with Keith Elkins he talks about tournament time, and the challenges it presents for players and coaches, including this year’s Wildcat team. He also covers the 1978 championship run, the intense fan interest in UK basketball, and his lifelong connection to the game, which began when he accompanied his father, a longtime coach in college and high school, to games and practices. In addition, he provides insights into his NBA experiences, including time as Michael Jordan’s teammate early in Jordan’s career with the Chicago Bulls. His own project, “From the Rafters of Rupp,” in which he interviews some of UK’s greatest stars, gives fans another perspective of UK basketball history.
