Kentucky vs. Louisville, one of college basketball's biggest rivalries, will not be played on Wednesday as scheduled. Kentucky confirmed that the matchup has been pushed due to positive tests within the Louisville men's basketball program.
The two teams managed to play last year's game at the KFC Yum! Center, a 62–59 win for the Cardinals. The game has been played every season since 1982–83. Per Kentucky's release, the two programs “will monitor opportunities in which the teams can reschedule the annual rivalry game.”
Kentucky says it is also working to schedule a replacement game this week. Sports Illustrated's Pat Forde reports that it could give the nod to a different program from the Derby City: Bellarmine.
