It looks like Louisville and head coach Chris Mack are trying to put together a college basketball bubble.
Mack posted an invitation on Twitter:

Some schools mentioned as possibilities for the Louisville bubble include Northern Kentucky, Cincinnati and Bellarmine:
Mack was asked about non-conference scheduling on Thursday and added that Bellarmine, which is playing in its first season as a Division-I member, could be tossed onto a schedule that previously did not include the Knights.
“We’ve been talking to several teams geographically, that are close to Louisville that could make sense of what a non-conference schedule would look,” Mack said. “Bellarmine is certainly one of those schools.”
One school that I would definitely expect to be in the bubble is Cincinnati. The Cards and Bearcats had been set to renew their rivalry on Nov. 13, a date which now falls 12 days before the new beginning of the season. Mack and John Brannen are very close, so getting both UC and Brannen’s old program, Northern Kentucky, into the bubble seem like very realistic possibilities.
