LAS VEGAS - The Lon Kruger Radio Show will make its 2009-10 season debut on Tuesday, Nov. 3, from 7-8 p.m. on ESPN 1100 AM.

The show will originate from Brendan's Irish Pub located at The Orleans Hotel and Casino and will take place on selected weekdays throughout the entire 2009-10 UNLV men's basketball season. This year will mark the show's third calling Brendan's home.

The show, which airs live on ESPN 1100 and UNLVRebels.com through its All-Access feature, is hosted by the Jon Sandler, the men's basketball play-by-play announcer for the UNLV/ISP Sports radio broadcast team. The show features Kruger, UNLV's head men's basketball coach, and will have guest appearances by other members of the Runnin' Rebel program throughout the year as well as guests from other Rebel athletics programs.

Interviews with executives from Boyd Gaming, which owns The Orleans Hotel and Casino, will occur periodically. The show will also be available through UNLVRebels.com's All-Access feature on an on-demand archived basis.

Fans are encouraged to attend the show in person at Brendan's, but for those that can't make it and want to call in to ask Coach Kruger a question, the phone number is 866-602-1978.
