The Nebraska men's basketball team will play Mississippi State in an exhibition game to raise money for hurricane victims.

The game will take place Sunday at 1 p.m. in Starkville, Mississippi, at the Humphrey Coliseum. Admission will be free and the American Red Cross will be collecting monetary donations to benefit Hurricane Irma relief efforts.

The game will be broadcast on the Husker Sports Network, Huskers.com and the Huskers app.

“Hurricane Irma was a devastating storm which affected many people in the Southeast and in the Caribbean,” Nebraska coach Tim Miles said in a press release. “Our goal is that we can raise a lot of money for those who need it and have a great time competing against Coach (Ben) Howland and his team. It is a great platform for our two programs to raise awareness and help people in need. We look forward to Sunday afternoon and it should be an exciting game.”

Schools across the country are holding exhibitions for hurricane relief. Kansas and Missouri, for example, will play Sunday in Kansas City's Sprint Center. Nebraska and Mississippi State sought and received a waiter from the NCAA to play this extra exhibition game.
