Gophers B-Ball: Minnesota vs. Louisville in December
Posted on March 28th, 2008 – 12:53 PMBy Myron Medcalf
Minnesota will face Louisville in the first-ever basketball game at University of Phoenix Stadium in December, according to a Friday announcement from stadium officials. The Gophers will be one of four teams (Minnesota, Louisville, BYU and Arizona State) that will play two basketball games at the University of Phoenix, where the most recent Super Bowl was held.
The date and time have not yet been announced. But the buzz has already started, on this blog at least, because Tubby Smith will face off against former mentor Rick Pitino, who might lead Louisville to next weekend’s Final Four.
