2012-13 BIG EAST Men's Basketball Repeat Opponents Matrix LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The University of Louisville's 2012-13 men's basketball season in the BIG EAST Conference will include another challenging slate of 18 games, including two games each against Notre Dame, Seton Hall, USF and Syracuse. Louisville's home conference opponents will include Cincinnati, Marquette, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Providence, St. John's, Seton Hall, USF and Syracuse. The Cardinals' nine league road games will be at Connecticut, DePaul, Georgetown, Notre Dame, Rutgers, Seton Hall, USF, Syracuse and Villanova. With one less school in the BIG EAST this year at 15, each team will face 10 opponents once and four twice. Louisville is one of six BIG EAST teams which have been included in early rankings, including two of the Cardinals' repeat opponents in Syracuse and Notre Dame (also Cincinnati, Marquette and Villanova). UofL is second nationally in preseason rankings by ESPN.com (Andy Katz), SI.com (Luke Winn) and NBCSports.com (Mike Miller) while the Cardinals are third in three other rankings by CBSSports.com (Gary Parrish, Jeff Goodman), Yahoo.com (Mike Huegenin) and SportingNews.com (Mike DeCourcy). U of L will welcome back three starters and 11 lettermen from last season's successful team which won the BIG EAST Conference tournament championship and reached the Cardinals' ninth NCAA Final Four. The Cardinals' 30-10 record marked just the sixth time in school history that UofL had won 30 games in a season. A complete schedule, including dates and times for the BIG EAST games, is expected in early September.
