Press release from Fred Hoiberg on the matchup with St. Mary's:

"Returning to the Sanford Pentagon to play Saint Mary’s is a great opportunity for our basketball team,” said Hoiberg. “Our players and coaches enjoyed playing in Sioux Falls last year, and our fans made it a phenomenal atmosphere. We appreciate the work that Sanford Sports has done to put together this year’s match-up. Saint Mary’s has been in three straight NCAA Tournaments and is one of the best programs in the country, so it will be a very good early-season test for our team. We have a lot of Nebraska alumni in the Sioux Falls region and look forward to seeing the Pentagon full of Husker fans for both the men’s and women’s games that weekend.”

Also included in the statement was some women's basketball schedule news. Amy Williams' team will play South Dakota, the program she coached before NU, at the Sanford Pentagon on Nov. 16. Back-to-back days of Husker basketball at the Pentagon.
