After being delayed Friday because of winter weather conditions, the Oklahoma State men's basketball team was still unable to leave Oklahoma City early Saturday morning. The delay has forced the tipoff time for the OSU-Nebraska basketball game to be moved back to 7 p.m.
The Cowboys will not be able to safely make it to Lincoln in a reasonable time frame to be ready to compete at the originally scheduled 12:30 p.m. tip off. However, OSU intends to depart at 1 p.m. this afternoon and make it to Lincoln in time to get ready for a 7 p.m. tipoff Saturday night at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. The Nebraska basketball program and Devaney Center gameday staff are planning to start the game in a usual fashion at that time. Gates will open at 5:30 p.m. and the national championship Husker Volleyball team will be signing autographs beginning at 5:45 p.m. until tipoff.
Because of current weather conditions in Oklahoma, fans are encouraged to check Huskers.com for confirmation of the start time before leaving for the game. Local media Web sites and radio and television broadcasts will also carry any updates throughout the afternoon. If Oklahoma State is unable to travel to Lincoln on Saturday, the game will be postponed until the Big 12 Conference can determine a makeup date that is suitable to both teams.
The game was originally scheduled to be seen regionally as part of the Big 12 Conference syndicated TV package. With the change in tipoff time, the game is being moved out of a Big 12 telecast window and will not be televised. Tickets still remain and can be purchased at the NU Athletic Ticket Office located at the Devaney Center on the North ramp starting 90 minutes before tipoff, or on Huskers.com.
