The brace for the ESPN Events Invitational was released this afternoon and the opening round on Nov. 24, Thanksgiving Day, had the Huskers playing the Sooners.
Nebraska will face Oklahoma at 4 PM CT at the HP Fieldhouse on the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex south of Disney World outside Orlando. The game, naturally, will be broadcast on ESPN.
The matchup between the Huskers and Sooners mens’ teams will be the first on the hardwood since February 2011. Oklahoma holds a 104-83 edge in the all-time series.
