The University of Nebraska and Mississippi State University basketball programs will square off in a charity exhibition game Sunday to raise money for hurricane victims.

The game is set for 1 p.m. Sunday at Humphrey Coliseum in Starkville, Miss.

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.
