WATCH: Mike Pratt Honored at Halftime of Kentucky-Florida

During halftime of Kentucky's game against Florida on Saturday night inside Rupp Arena, a jersey retirement ceremony was held for Mike Pratt, who earned All-America and Academic All-America honors as a University of Kentucky basketball player and served 21 seasons as an analyst on UK radio broadcasts. 

"Mike Pratt. Number raised. How many points did they have at halftime? 22. Mike's number. Who made the last points of the game? Number 22. You don't think Mike was up there tipping balls away? Think about that," UK coach John Calipari said postgame. "One of the nicest people, kind heart. We had his kids and his grandkids and his brother and his wife in the locker room after. I'm just, I'm happy for him. He's been an unbelievable supporter of mine."
