The Nebraska women's basketball team's home regular-season finale against Kansas will be carried statewide by Nebraska Educational Television (NET) on Wednesday, the Nebraska Athletic Department announced on Monday afternoon.
The No. 3 Huskers (27-0, 14-0 Big 12) will celebrate Senior Night with pregame ceremonies featuring the largest senior class in school history. Kelsey Griffin, Cory Montgomery, Yvonne Turner, Kala Kuhlmann, Nicole Neals and Nikki Bober will be honored prior to the game.
Following the pregame festivities, the Huskers will put their perfect record on the line against a Jayhawk team that comes to Lincoln with hopes of keeping its NCAA Tournament hopes alive. Kansas (15-12 overall, 5-9 Big 12) is No. 37 in this week's official NCAA RPI and battled Nebraska down to the wire in Lawrence on Feb. 10. KU led the Huskers by five points with eight minutes left, before Nebraska rallied with three straight steals in a one-minute span to take control down the stretch in a 67-60 win.
Nebraska's game with Kansas was added to the Huskers' television schedule on Monday. NU's first game on NET this year represents the third time this season that the Huskers have been able to gain additional TV access in-season, joining the Texas Tech game in Lubbock and last week's Big 12 championship-clinching win at Oklahoma. It will be Nebraska's ninth televised contest in the past 13 games.
The game will also be available through a live video stream on Huskers.com. Live radio coverage will be provided by the Husker Sports Network, including 98.1 KFGE in Lincoln, 93.3 KTWI in Omaha and 880 KRVN in Lexington. Free live audio will also be provided by Huskers.com.
Advance tickets are still available through Nebraska Athletic Ticket Office web site on Huskers.com or by calling 1-800-8-BIG-RED during regular business hours Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. General admission tickets are also available at the door on the night of the game, but fans are encouraged to purchase their tickets and arrive early to avoid lines on the night of the game.
Nebraska's regular-season finale at Kansas State will not be televised but will be available to premium subscribers of HuskersNside on Huskers.com. NU's games at the 2010 Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship will be televised live nationally by Fox Sports Net. The ESPN family of networks owns the television rights to the NCAA Tournament.
