Tickets on Sale Friday for Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off

Lincoln – Tickets for Nebraska men’s basketball matchup against Providence on Saturday, Nov. 7, will go on sale this Friday, Sept. 4, beginning at 9 a.m. (CT). Tickets are available exclusively through Ticketmaster.com.

The matchup with the Friars is the marquee game of the Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. Tipoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. (CT), as the game between Rhode Island and Monmouth will tip at 3 p.m. (CT).  TV for the event will be announced at a later date.

Nebraska returns two of its top three scorers and six letterwinners from a team that won a school-record 28 games and reached the NCAA Sweet 16 last season. The returnees are headlined by rising senior Pryce Sandfort, who earned first-team All-Big Ten honors after averaging 18.1 points and 4.9 rebounds per game. NU also welcomes back Big Ten Sixth Man of the Year Braden Frager, as the junior averaged 11.8 points and 3.8 rebounds per game in 2025-26.

The Friars, who tied for seventh in the BIG EAST last season, will have a retooled roster under the direction of first-year coach Bryan Hodgson, who led South Florida to the American Conference title last season before taking the Providence job.

The matchup will mark the first-ever meeting between the two schools. NU has won its last three games against BIG EAST teams dating back to the 2024-25 season.
