Louisville basketball “hopeful” to return to the court Saturday

With Chris Mack dealing with Covid-19, assistant coach Dino Gaudio handled his bosses’ responsibilities on Monday’s ACC coaches teleconference.

Gaudio, who will serve as Louisville’s acting head coach if the Cards are able to return to the court against Virginia Tech on Saturday, said that the team hasn’t practiced since last Tuesday and is hopeful to be back inside the Kueber Center on Wednesday. Even if that happens, U of L figures to be extremely shorthanded.

“Hopefully today we get a clean return on all the tests and we have no positives,” Gaudio said. “If that’s the case I believe we can practice on Wednesday, that’s not 100% certain, I’ve got to wait until our trainer, Fred Hina, and our medical staff says that we can do that, and we will not, even if we do practice on Wednesday have a full contingent of players.
