'I don’t know how many programs can get about 15,000 people on a Friday in September to come out and support their basketball program.'
TUCSON, Ariz. — KJ Lewis played high school basketball in Texas, but he grew up here, not far from the University of Arizona. He knows the passion associated with the basketball team. As a recruit, he twice attended the program’s “First Watch Red-Blue Showcase.”
Kansas may have the nation’s premier preseason event. Over the years “Late Night in the Phog” has included entertainers such as Snoop Dogg, Run-DMC and 2 Chainz. Flo Rida is scheduled to perform next week at the event.

“We’re in real talks for bigger and more exciting things and going to make this a can’t-miss event for the community,” he said.
