For the second straight year, the coronavirus robbed sports fans in the commonwealth of prime-time Kentucky-Louisville rivalry competition.
The 2021-22 school year went without a UK-U of L men's basketball game when the scheduled Cats-Cards meeting on Dec. 22 was canceled due to a COVID-19 "pause" in the Cardinals program.
In the previous school year, COVID and the efforts to contain it knocked the Kentucky-Louisville football, volleyball and women's basketball games off the schedules.
