LEXINGTON — Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari expects the annual Louisville rivalry game to be play as scheduled this season despite U of L coach Chris Mack's hesitation about playing in front of a smaller crowd due to coronavirus pandemic restrictions.
"Chris and I have talked and he expressed his concerns," Calipari said in a statement provided to the Courier Journal. "While I understand the difficulty and the complications created by the pandemic, we are prepared to come to Louisville to play this season under the previously agreed upon terms, and we fully expect Louisville to honor the agreement with a return game to Rupp Arena next season.
