Summary
Justin McBride, once a journeyman player bouncing between Texas, Oak Hill, and college programs, is now a rising star at James Madison—thanks to coach Preston Spradlin, who guided him from Kentucky’s staff to Morehead State’s bench and now leads JMU to a conference title in just two seasons. McBride’s personal highlight? Facing his former coach and mentor, Spradlin, when James Madison takes on Kentucky in Rupp Arena on November 6, 2026. McBride calls Spradlin a “great guy” and “love[s] to death,” making this matchup not just a game, but a homecoming with a twist. While Kentucky’s big early test is Kansas, McBride’s spotlight shines brightest when the Dukes roll into Lexington. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
