Coach Fred Hoiberg is excited to renew the rivalry with an old Big Eight rival.

“This is a matchup our fans will be excited about because of the history between the two programs over the years,” Nebraska Coach Fred Hoiberg said. “Coach (Dennis) Gates has a team that could challenge in the SEC this season, and this will provide us a strong test right after we finish our Big Ten December schedule. Playing this matchup in Kansas City brings back a lot of memories of old conference matchups, and I believe our fans will make this a great neutral-site environment.”
