Louisville, Ky. - The Louisville women's basketball team will play on national or regional television seven times during the 2008-09 season a highlighted appearance on ESPN2 against Connecticut.
"We are excited about our television appearances this season," said head coach Jeff Walz. "This team worked extremely hard last season to get the chance to play in front of a national audience. I think it will give us an opportunity to help grow our program playing against teams like Xavier, Connecticut, Rutgers, Pittsburgh and Marquette on television. We will have the opportunity to showcase our program on a national level against great teams."
