Back in the winter, there were talks of Indiana and Louisville committing to a three-game series. It obviously would be a nice matchup for both as the two programs are usually some of the country’s best. But, it looks like talks have stalled and the teams won’t even face each other next year.

“No update other than both sides wanna do a deal,” Indiana Athletic Director Fred Glass said. “We’ve had very serious conversations about that. Like everything else, the devil’s in the details. There are conference challenges and schedule challenges, but coach Pitino and everybody at Louisville and coach (Tom) Crean and everybody at Indiana wanna get a deal done and I expect that to happen in fairly short order. I don’t think it will be for this upcoming season.”

This is unfortunate because the proposed three-game series sounds awesome. If everything went according to plan, the teams would play at Lucas Oil Stadium and split a ticket allotment of 35,000 per school. If Lucas Oil Stadium isn’t available, then Bankers Life Fieldhouse would be used. The neutral court game would be followed by a games at Assembly Hall and the KFC Yum! Center.

Indiana already has a tough non-conference schedule slated for next season, but this series would have good for the programs and fans.
