We posted months ago that the Louisville Cardinals would be facing the Indiana Hoosiers in the 2014-15 season as part of the Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden. Today, the date and time were finalized.
The game will take place on December 9 at 9 p.m. ET and it will be shown on ESPN. Villanova will face Maryland at 7:00 p.m., so obviously that 9:00 tipoff will be closer to 9:30 or 10.
So far, this gives Louisville a few marquee non-conference games. They open the season against Richard Pitino and Minnesota, and of course they face Kentucky, and now Indiana.
From GoCards.com:
All-time, Louisville and Indiana have met 16 times, with the Hoosiers holding a 10-6 advantage. The Cardinals won the last matchup 95-76 on Feb. 1, 2003, at Freedom Hall. Francisco Garcia came off the bench and scored 23 points, while Reece Gaines (17), Ellis Myles (13), and Luke Whitehead (11) each tallied double-figure points.
Tickets for the Jimmy V Classic will go on sale at a later date this fall. Ticket prices range from $15-275 and will be available for purchase at the Madison Square Garden Box Office, Ticketmaster charge by phone at (866) 858-0008, and online at http://www.Ticketmaster.com and www.thegarden.com.
