Louisville's Tough Non-Conference Slate | Louisville News

Louisville’s 2026-27 non-conference slate is packed with firepower, starting with home games against Chattanooga and Morehead State, followed by a tough road trip to Memphis. The Cardinals hit the Vegas Tournament for a showdown with Texas Tech, then face Texas in the ACC/SEC Challenge and battle defending champs Michigan in Detroit. The highlight? The Battle of the Bluegrass against Kentucky at Rupp Arena on Dec. 12. They close out non-conference play with home games against Long Island and Eastern Michigan, plus a late-January clash with Baylor in Indy. Before the regular season, they’ll test themselves in exhibition games at Kansas and against Mercyhurst. This schedule demands grit — and it’s designed to make noise before conference play even begins. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
