Huskers Face Mississippi St. in Charity Exhibition
The Nebraska basketball team opens the 2017-18 season on Sunday, as the Huskers travel to Starkville, Miss., for an exhibition matchup with the Mississippi State Bulldogs. Tipoff from Humphrey Coliseum is set for 1 p.m. (CT) and fans can listen to all of the action with Kent Pavelka on select HSN affiliates, including 590 AM in Omaha. The game will also be available on Huskers.com, on the Huskers app, and on TuneIn Radio and the TuneIn Radio app.
While the results won't count, the biggest winner for Saturday's game will be hurricane victims. Nebraska and Mississippi State together sought and received a waiver from the NCAA to play the extra exhibition game with the sole purpose to benefit hurricane victims. All proceeds from Sunday's game will go to the MSU Student Relief Fund and the Salvation Army will be collecting monetary donations at Humphrey Coliseum to benefit Hurricane Irma relief efforts.
Sunday's game gives Nebraska Coach Tim Miles a first opportunity to look at a retooled roster. While Nebraska returns just two starters - guards Glynn Watson Jr. and Evan Taylor - the Huskers also welcome three Division I transfers who are all eligible for the 2017-18 season. That trio is headlined by Isaac Copeland, who made 50 starts at Georgetown over the past three seasons. A second-team preseason All-Big East performer last season, Copeland averaged 11.1 points and 5.4 rebounds per game in 2015-16. James Palmer Jr. (Miami) and Duby Okeke (Winthrop) are both likely to find their way into the Huskers' rotation. In all, the Huskers return nine letterwinners, including part-time starters Jordy Tshimanga and Jack McVeigh.
Mississippi State returns four starters and 10 letterwinners from a team that went 16-16 last season for Coach Ben Howland, who enters his third year at Mississippi State. Howland, who coached UCLA to three straight Final Fours also coached at Northern Arizona and Pittsburgh. The Bulldogs are led by junior guard Quinndary Weatherspoon, who was a second-team All-SEC guard last year, averaging 16.5 points and 5.1 rebounds per game.
Sunday’s game is a rare matchup between the two schools. In regular-season play, the two teams have met just once, with the Bulldogs claiming a 69-66 win in the Ford Far West Classic in Portland, Ore., in 1995.
