Tickets for the game can be purchased by visiting Huskers.com or by calling 1-800-8-BIG-RED. Tickets also will be available at the Pinnacle Bank Arena Box Office before the game.
Nebraska will face Alcorn State for the first time in school history when the two teams meet tomorrow. The Lady Braves opened their season with a Saturday afternoon contest at Nebraska-Omaha before coming to Lincoln. Nebraska meanwhile crushed Pepperdine 100-65 shooting 57% from the field behind five players scoring in double figures.
In her seventh season, Coach Tonya Edwards guides an experienced group of four returning starters for Alcorn State. Alcorn State returns solid production from a team that went 8-22 overall and 7-11 in the Southwestern Athletic Conference last season. The Lady Braves will be led by senior guard Ashton McNichols forward Angelica Wilson-Reid and Jasmine Cunningham.
