Opening Night with Husker Hoops is Friday night. Rick Ross will be in town to put on a concert. The new floor at Pinnacle Bank Arena will be unveiled. Head coach Fred Hoiberg will speak, then unveil his first Nebraska team to a sold-out crowd. It's probably the most anticipated practice in Nebraska basketball history.
"It couldn’t have turned out any better as far as what we want to accomplish this weekend. We’ve got Opening Night, we’ve got GameDay coming to town," said Hoiberg, who was coaching at Iowa State when the basketball version of "GameDay" came to Ames in 2015.
