Louisville basketball released its 2025-26 non-conference schedule yesterday, and the Cardinals have a gauntlet of games outside of their ACC play. Louisville is set to play five teams that made the 2025 NCAA Tournament, three teams that made the Sweet Sixteen, three teams from the SEC, two from the Big 12, and one from the Big 10.
The Cardinals' biggest game on their schedule and the one every fan has circled? November 11 against the Kentucky Wildcats. When this game was announced, college basketball fans were distraught. This intense rivalry showdown is poised to be a top 10 matchup and two title contenders, and should be a game in December.
