    LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Louisville men's basketball head coach Rick Pitino and senior guard Andre McGee met with members of the media on Thursday at the Yum! Center to preview Saturday's exhibition opener against Georgetown College. The Cards and Tigers will tip off at 1:30 p.m. ET at Freedom Hall and the game will be televised locally by WHAS-TV.

    Georgetown posted a 35-1 record last season, with its lone loss in the NAIA national semifinals. The Tigers won their season opener over 133-32 over Ohio State - Mansfield on Oct. 26 as Demetrius Guoins led six players in double figures with 18 points. Georgetown shot 65 percent from the field in that game while limiting OSUM to 19 percent accuracy. The Tigers will play at Kentucky Wesleyan Oct. 30 prior to facing the Cardinals.

    This is the first of two exhibition games for the Cards. On Sunday, Nov. 8, U of L will travel to Highland Heights, Ky. for a contest against Northern Kentucky at 8 p.m. Louisville tips off the regular season campaign at home on Saturday, Nov. 22 against Morehead State in the first of two games of the Billy Minardi Classic. The game time will be announced at a later date pending the kick off time for U of L's home football game against West Virginia.
