Louisville-Virginia Tech rescheduled for March 3

A fifth straight Louisville men’s basketball game has been postponed.

The Cardinals will no longer play at Virginia Tech this Saturday. Instead, that game has been rescheduled for Wednesday, March 3.

Here’s the full release:

The Atlantic Coast Conference announced today that the Louisville at Virginia Tech men’s basketball game scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 13 has been postponed and is rescheduled for Wednesday, March 3. Time and network designation will be determined at a later date.

The postponement follows the continuing quarantining and contact tracing within the Louisville men’s basketball program. The team is adhering to the outlined protocols within the ACC Medical Advisory Group report, which is available on theACC.com (full report (PDF)).

Louisville’s next scheduled game is on Wednesday, Feb. 17 against Syracuse at 6:30 p.m. in the KFC Yum! Center. Saturday’s game is the fourth straight UofL game that has been postponed due to COVID-19 issues.

I’ve always wondered how I’d handle January and February if I didn’t have U of L men’s basketball as an escape from the gloom and doom. This year we have discovered the answer, and it’s ... not great!

The fun rolls on.
