Saint Louis and Nebraska Announce Exhibition Series

Saint Louis and Nebraska announced a home-and-home men’s basketball series that will take place during the preseason over the next two seasons.

The Billikens will travel to Lincoln, Neb., for an exhibition game on Friday, Oct. 9, 2026. The teams will play a preseason game at Chaifetz Arena prior to the 2027-28 campaign on a date to be determined later.

Beginning last year, NCAA rules were changed to allow teams to play preseason exhibition games against any four-year school, including Division I teams. Additionally, these games are no longer required to be conducted in private and without official scoring.

Saint Louis will host Bradley at Chaifetz Arena in an exhibition game this season, returning the matchup after the Billikens traveled to Peoria for a preseason contest last year.
