HUSKER MEN’S BASKETBALL: Opening Night With Husker Hoops Set For Sept. 27

LINCOLN–(NU Athletics July 1)–A new era for Nebraska basketball begins on Friday, Sept. 27, as the Huskers will usher in the Fred Hoiberg era at Pinnacle Bank Arena with Opening Night with Husker Hoops.

“We wanted to kickoff basketball season with an event that allows our fans to have a good time and get an early preview of our team as we start practice,” Hoiberg said. “We hope this event is not only the start of a new tradition for our program, but also the start of festive weekend with the Husker football team hosting Ohio State the following day.”

Pinnacle Bank Arena doors will open at 6 p.m. with the event beginning at 7 p.m.
