Tom Hart headlines this week’s TV broadcast crews for Kentucky Basketball
Kentucky Basketball has two games left in the regular season. On Tuesday, the Wildcats will host LSU in the regular season home finale in Rupp Arena. Before the game, the largest senior class in school history will be recognized with a Senior Night ceremony. Those seniors are Amari Williams, Andrew Carr, Jaxson Robinson, Lamont Butler, Koby Brea, Ansley Almonor, and Kerr Kriisa.
For fans watching from home, the ESPN2 broadcast will have Brian Custer on play-by-play and Daymeon Fishback providing analysis from courtside in Lexington. It will be Custer’s first Kentucky game this season and Fishback’s third after he called the South Carolina and Vanderbilt home wins with John Schriffen and Roy Philpott.
Kentucky and LSU tip off at 7 p.m. on Tuesday night.
Tom Hart’s return
The Big Blue Nation will be excited to hear Tom Hart on Saturday when Kentucky closes the regular season at Mizzou, Tom’s alma mater. ESPN waited until the final weekend to assign him an SEC game with the Wildcats. Before Kentucky-Mizzou, he was in Rupp Arena for the Wright State and Colgate games with Jimmy Dykes and Dane Bradshaw.
Bradshaw will join Tom in Columbia, Missouri, on Saturday for the 11 a.m. tip local time. Ron Slay, who has called several games with Tom this season, was sent to Arkansas for Saturday’s game instead.
All of this is assuming there are no more technical difficulties.
