On Thursday at 2 p.m. EDT, May and Emerson will join us for a live chat to give their thoughts on the matchup, what the keys are to the game, who fans should look out for and more. The 30 to 40 minute chat with the reporters will offer fans an inside look at the game from the people who are closest to the teams.
Fans are encouraged to join the interactive blog and send in questions. The last 15 minutes of the chat will be dedicated to fans’ questions. If you can’t join us at 2 p.m. and would like to have a question submitted, please send your question to catscratches@email.uky.edu and we’ll try to fit it in.
