Mike Pratt, a Kentucky Basketball Hall of Famer, dies at 73

A few weeks ago, a call was put out to the Big Blue Nation to help Mike Pratt in his recurring fight against cancer. Pratt’s three-year battle intensified in May as the cancer returned and spread even further beyond past diagnoses. With a new fight ahead, a fundraising effort was established to assist Kentucky Basketball’s veteran radio analyst and former all-conference player with the overbearing medical expenses for his new treatments. His first treatment was scheduled to begin yesterday, June 16.

Sadly, Mike’s condition took a turn for the worse earlier this week and today, we share the heartbreaking news that Mike Pratt passed away late Thursday night.
