This will be the Huskers’ fifth trip to Sioux Falls since 2018, and the Huskers have a 3-1 record following last year’s 105-99 win over Oklahoma. NU has also faced Oklahoma State (2018), Oregon State (2023) and St. Mary’s (2024) in the 3,200-seat facility.

The Nebraska-Boise State game caps a Husker basketball weekend in Sioux Falls, as the Nebraska women will face Kansas in the MarketBeat Invitational, a four-team event which also includes Minnesota and Kansas State, on Saturday, Nov. 14.

The Nebraska-Boise State matchup will mark the second meeting between the two programs and the first since a 79-69 Husker win in the 2024 College Basketball Crown semifinals. 

Nebraska’s returnees are headlined by Pryce Sandfort, who earned first-team All-Big Ten honors after averaging 18.1 points and 4.9 rebounds per game. NU also welcomes back Big Ten Sixth Man of the Year Braden Frager, as the rising sophomore averaged 11.8 points and 3.8 rebounds per game and was on the Big Ten All-Freshman team in 2025-26.  In addition, the Huskers regain the services of Connor Essegian, who averaged 10.7 ppg in 2024-25 before missing most of last season with an ankle injury. The Huskers also welcome an eight-member freshman class, led by transfers Sam Orme (12.7 ppg, 5.0 rpg at Belmont), Trevan Leonhardt (11.9 ppg, 6.0 apg, 5.4 rpg at Utah Valley), Boden Kapke (10.6 ppg, 5.7 rpg at Boston College) and Taj DeGourville (5.5 points, 3.0 assists at San Diego State) and freshmen Colin Rice and Jacob Lanier, a pair of top-150 recruits who both earned state player of the year honors in Iowa and Arkansas, respectively.

Boise State, under the direction of Leon Rice, went 20-14 last year and tied for fifth in the Mountain West Conference. Boise State had made five straight postseason appearances, including three NCAA trips, before the streak ended in 2025-26.  Boise State joined the newly reformed Pac-12 Conference which includes Colorado State, Fresno State, Gonzaga, Oregon State, San Diego State, Texas State, Utah State and Washington State.
