Huskers to Face Oklahoma on Thanksgiving at ESPN Events Invitational

One of Thanksgiving's traditional matchups moves to the hardwood this November, as Nebraska will face Oklahoma in the opening round of the ESPN Events Invitational.

Nebraska will face Oklahoma at 4 p.m. (central) at the HP Fieldhouse on the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex just outside Orlando. The game will be carried by ESPN and also the Huskers Radio Network.

The matchup between the Huskers and Sooners will be the first in men's basketball between the two schools since February of 2011. Oklahoma holds a 104-83 in the all-time series, as the two programs were conference rivals from 1921 until 2011, when Nebraska joined the Big Ten Conference.
