MANHATTAN, Kan. – Tickets for Kansas State's men's basketball exhibition game against former Big 12 foe Nebraska on Monday, October 26 at the BigIron Events Center in Grand Island, Neb., will go on sale on Friday, September 18 at 10 a.m., CT.
Tickets start at $20 (not including fees) and can be purchased online via Ticketmaster at www.bigironeventscenter.com/huskers or in-person at the BigIron Events Center Box Office.
The exhibition will tipoff at 6:30 p.m., CT inside Eihusen Arena at the BigIron Events Center, which is a 90-minute drive west on I-80 from Lincoln and a 3-hour, 30-minute drive north from Manhattan.
It will mark the first exhibition matchup between the two schools and the first-ever meeting in Grand Island. Located on the Fonner Park campus, the 180,000-square-foot multipurpose facility is anchored by Eihusen Arena, which features 30,000 square feet of floor space, 6,000 permanent seats and capacity for an additional 1,500 guests on the arena floor.
Although it won't officially count in the record books, this will be the fifth meeting between the schools since 2021 with each splitting those four previous matchups, including an 86-85 win by the Huskers in the Hall of Fame Classic Championship game in Kansas City last season.
Nebraska is coming off a historic season in 2025-26, in which, the Huskers won 28 games and advanced to the Sweet 16 for the first time in program history. The squad is headlined by First Team All-Big Ten selection Pryce Sandford (18.1 ppg., 4.9 rpg.) and Big Ten Sixth Man of the Year Braden Frager (11.8 ppg., 3.8 rpg.). An eight-man recruiting class includes four Division I transfers including Sam Orme (12.7 ppg., 5.0 rpg.) who played for Alexander at Belmont in 2025-26.
Alexander welcomes 13 newcomers in his first season, including 10 from the transfer portal and three from the high school ranks. Sophomore Andrej Kostic (5.2 ppg., 1.7 rpg.) is the only returner.
The matchup with Nebraska is K-State's second exhibition contest, as the Wildcats will host another former Big 12 foe Missouri on Friday, October 23 at Bramlage Coliseum.
