Providence College’s men’s basketball program will open the 2026‑27 season in Uncasville, Connecticut, as part of the Hall of Fame Tip‑Off doubleheader, with the first game scheduled for Saturday, November 7.
A historic first‑ever matchup
The game will pit the Friars against the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers for the first time in program history, giving both teams a fresh non‑conference challenge early in the schedule.
Head Coach Bryan Hodgson expressed enthusiasm about the pairing, noting that the contest serves as a strong test of his squad’s readiness and that he admires Coach Fred Hoiberg’s approach and the Cornhuskers’ competitive tradition.
The doubleheader will also showcase a second contest between the University of Rhode Island and Monmouth University, adding depth to the event’s slate and offering fans additional matchups to enjoy at the Mohegan Sun arena.
Ticket information for the Tip‑Off will be announced later, but supporters can begin securing seats for the full 2026‑27 season by calling 401‑865‑GO PC or visiting friars.com.
