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.
