After an initial cancelation of Wisconsin’s Big Ten/ACC challenge matchup with Louisville due to COVID-19 positives within the Louisville program, the game is back on.
A battle of top-25 teams will take place this Saturday at the Kohl Center, when the Cardinals travel to face the Badgers.
No. 12 Wisconsin and undefeated No. 23 Louisville will face off at 11 AM CT. Why the early tip? Paul Bunyan’s Axe will be up for grabs later in the day when Wisconsin football greets Minnesota at 3 PM CT.

Louisville will enter the Kohl Center at 4-0, with quality wins over a talented Western Kentucky team and Seton Hall. They Cardinals haven’t played since December 1 due to COVID-19 complications, so it will be interesting to see how head coach Chris Mack and crew respond to the long layoff.
Wisconsin basketball now has two games scheduled for this week, with Loyola-Chicago coming to the Kohl Center on Tuesday night.
