No. 1 UConn’s season opener against No. 20 Louisville that was supposed to be played at Ramstein Air Base in Germany on Nov. 4 has been moved to the Naval Academy because of the government shutdown.

“We’re excited to have opportunity to play at the academy," Louisville coach Jeff Walz told The Associated Press on Thursday night “It’s going to be a great experience for our players. Everyone was excited about going to Germany and playing at Ramstein, but we will make the best of this. We were going to head over to Germany a few days earlier and have a scavenger hunt in a castle on Halloween.”

Walz said his team was going to try and see some of the museums in the area and make the most of the trip to Annapolis.
