Mike Woodson discussing non-conference series with Louisville

Two storied college basketball programs that sit just over 100 miles apart may be on the verge of a non-conference series.

Speaking prior to an IU varsity club event on Wednesday at Huber’s Winery, Mike Woodson said that he’s in discussions with Kenny Payne about a series with Louisville.

Woodson and Payne worked together as assistant coaches with the New York Knicks during the 2020-21 season. Payne was hired by Louisville, his alma mater, in March.

Indiana and Louisville have not played since 2018, when the Hoosiers won 68-67 in Bloomington on Dec. 8.
