College Basketball with Pat Forde

With the start of the college basketball season right around the corner it looks like Florida, Kansas and North Carolina are a cut above the rest. But, schools like Southern Illinois and Wichita State could be the George Mason of this season and blow-up your tournament bracket when March Madness roles around. Pat Forde of ESPN.com joins Bill to make some bold predictions and preview the upcoming college basketball season.

Listen
During the 1990's, the Michael Jordan/Scotty Pippen Bulls grabbed six NBA championships. Soon after, fans endured the Fred Hoiberg/Tim Floyd era, a six year skid in which the Bulls registered an abominable .261 winning percentage.

Kathleen Adams of member station WUKY in Lexington, Kentucky recently visited the North American Racing Academy.
