Today is another very busy day for UofL sports! Once again, that is a great thing! We love our Cards and every sport. The highlight of the day is the men’s basketball game at noon, but there is plenty more on the schedule!
*Men’s Basketball
The 5th ranked Cards (16-3, 4-2) will be on the road taking on Georgetown (13-4, 3-3) in an important Big East game. The Cards have dropped 2 straight and need to get back on track. The game is at noon and will be shown on ESPN. Check out the stat comparisons between the teams.
*Swimming & Diving
The 14th ranked men and the 17th ranked women for UofL will be in Lexington as they meet the Kentucky Wildcats! Diving events will begin at 12:30 p.m. with the men performing on the 1-meter and the women on the 3-meter spring-board. Senior Day festivities will begin shortly thereafter preceding the swimming and final diving events.
