Red-White Scrimmage Set, Louisville Live Shelved for 2023

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - With the 2023-24 college basketball season just two months away, we've got a double dose of news from the Louisville men's basketball program.

The Cardinals announced Thursday that the program's annual preseason Red-White Scrimmage will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 11 at 7 p.m. ET at the KFC Yum! Center. Tickets will start at $10, season ticket members will have the ability to claim complimentary tickets, and UofL students may also claim up to two free tickets to the event.

Additionally, it was announced that Louisville Live, the annual preseason basketball event for the men's and women's teams, will not take place in 2023. Louisville is opting to "take a break from the event before determining the next iteration." The midnight madness-style event, which started in 2019, was held at Louisville Slugger Field last season.
