LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A few changes have been made for the University of Louisville men’s basketball team’s exhibition games on its trip to Puerto Rico on Aug. 10-17.

The changes include:

– The Aug.13 event will now be played as a doubleheader, with the Cardinals facing the Puerto Rico Junior National Team at 5:30 p.m. and the Puerto Rico National Team at 8 p.m.  There had been a single game previously scheduled on that evening.

– The Cardinals will now play a single game against the Puerto Rico Junior National Team on Aug. 15 game at 6 p.m.  It had been originally set as a doubleheader.

– The Cardinals’ Aug. 16 game against the Puerto Rico National Team at 7 p.m. will be played at Humacao Arena in Humacao, Puerto Rico.  The game was originally announced at a different venue.

The Cardinals will play a series of nine games over six days against the Puerto Rico National Team and Junior Team, playing three double headers.  On the nights of the doubleheaders, the Cardinals’ roster will be split with a predetermined group as the primary participants in each game.
