Kentucky vs. Louisville men's basketball game postponed due to COVID-19 issues with Cardinals

10:41 am

The Kentucky and Louisville rivalry game has been postponed due to positive COVID-19 tests within the Louisville program.

Louisville said it was suspending all team activities due to positive tests. Everyone else was available for the Western Kentucky game, despite the fact that starting center Malik Williams missed it.

The schools will try to make up the game.

Kentucky will look for a replacement opponent for either Wednesday or Thursday. It would be the second game in a row that the Cats would play a different opponent than they had originally planned. The Tar Heels lost to Kentucky 98-69.

It would be the first time since 1981 that Louisville and Kentucky didn't play each other if the two programs are unable to rearrange the game. Kentucky leads the series.
