Against Colorado in Lincoln. Included in season tickets. Funds go to three Lincoln charities affected by covid. Will hold exhibition game following year in Boulder. Outstanding idea. Give Fred and whomever from athletic department put this together props. Even though it won't count on record bb seems to want to have serious competition not just a Doane or Peru St. to roll over.

Agree that opening these exhibition games to fans is a good idea. As a basketball season ticket holder (not at NU, but another program), it's frustrating to learn that your team is holding home-and-home "closed scrimmages" with a ranked team, but the following week you get to pay full price to watch them play a local DIII program.

Great idea and way for us, notoriously a lose-lose when it comes to scheduling good opponents, to stack up early against top 100 RPI programs.

I am very excited about this upcoming hoops season.

Rebuilding year for the Buffs, but they have a lot of talent assembled. Jabari Walker is a beast.

and they have a great coach.

this is a game they'd never schedule if it counted due to our RPI purgatory.

since I've already written off the 2021 football season, I cannot wait for hoops!
