LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Game times and television appearances for the University of Louisville's 2006-07 men's basketball schedule have been completed and the final team for the NABC Classic has been added.
Bellarmine, which U of L was to face in an exhibition game on Nov. 1, will now join Ohio University, St. Joseph's and U of L in the NABC Classic on Dec. 8-10 in Freedom Hall. The four teams in the event will rotate opponents for three straight days, beginning with the Cardinals facing Ohio University on Dec. 8. U of L will face St. Joseph's on Dec. 9 and Bellarmine on Dec. 10.
Georgetown College will replace Bellarmine as an exhibition opponent for the Cardinals on Nov. 1 in Freedom Hall. U of L has a 51-19 series advantage over Georgetown and the teams have not met since 1972.
Additional game times and television appearances have been added to the schedule. Tipoff times for the Nov. 18 season opener against Northwestern State -- which reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season -- and Dec. 2 against Savannah State will be announced later to avoid conflicting with a pair of U of L home football games. The Cardinal football team has home games against USF on Nov. 18 and Connecticut on Dec. 2 in which kickoff times will not be determined until 6-13 days prior to those dates.
A pair of ESPN regional telecasts -- Jan. 13 vs. Providence and March 4 vs. Seton Hall -- have been added to a television slate which includes fourteen national television appearances. WHAS-TV (Channel 11), an ABC affiliate in Louisville, will televise at least 16 U of L games through local origination. All U of L games will be broadcast on 50,000-watt clear-channel WHAS Radio (840 AM) in Louisville and other affiliates throughout the region. Over the last 23 years, all but 11 U of L basketball games have been televised on either a live or delayed basis.
