UofL 2025-2026 ACC Conference Schedule
- Thread starter shadow force
- Start date
Glad to see we're not playing Virginia twice again. I know we owe them a whole lot of payback, but I hate watching Virginia play.
Truly miss the GT game not being in Atlanta. They should be our rival instead of SMU. Great fan events and turnouts back to the President Ramsey days.
Go CARDS
Go CARDS
Not a fan of SMU being our rival. Pitt, Syracuse, or GT would be a better rival. Or even FSU or VT from the metro days.

Me likey.
It will be interesting to see the actual layout of the games, especially how they manage the road trips to Cal and Stanford. Back when it was the Pac 8 the West Coast teams played weekend road games in pairs where if you went to Washington you played Washington State on a Thursday/Saturday swing, Oregon and Oregon State, Southern Cal and UCLA, etc. You would almost think a Thursday/Sunday stint in the Bay Area would be a good idea but I honestly didn't pay attention to how the league managed those trips this year.
It will be equally as interesting to see if the Duke games are treated as features by ESPN or undercards for one of their now SEC darlings. I suspect like last year one of them is played in December though if they had their junk together it should be an early January then mid-February rematch. But given the way the ACC seems to build the entirety of their schedule around the Duke/UNC games they'll defer to that...I think they should have made NC State/UNC home-and-home this year and will probably rue that missed opportunity.
Loooovvveee getting NC State at home; I have a sneaking suspicion we're going to love Will Wade at a level we did somewhere between Tom Crean and Mike Deane.

I'd like to see the Cards average 16k-17k at home. Also think we will be a big draw in Road games. Really good schedule. True test of Kelsey. The ACC would like the Cards to be successful, just not as successful as Dook/Heels.
I'll be surprised if we just average in the 16k range...we drew 18,500 for the Pitt and Stanford games alone at the end of the year as well as the UVa game. If you had the Duke and UNC games in February instead of December weeknights (with UNC being New Year's) I think it's fair to say you'd have seen the 18,000 plus we saw by that point.
I'd fall out of my chair if UK and Duke at minimum weren't sellouts and we also should see big attendance numbers for NC State and UVa in the 19,000 range as well as against Memphis since it's a Saturday game. It's tough to envision a poorly attended game against Notre Dame or Syracuse though that might be a little Big East nostalgia.
Word on the street our SEC opponent in the ACC/SEC challenge is going to be at Calipari's Palace of Pigs.
