MADISON, Wis. — The Wisconsin men's basketball team will host an exhibition game against Northern Iowa on Wednesday, November 1, with tip slated for 7 p.m. at the Kohl Center. Free tickets for the exhibition have officially SOLD OUT, as of Tuesday afternoon.
NCAA rules currently allow for two exhibition games and/or closed scrimmages per year, but Division I schools are being allowed a third contest this fall to raise money for people and areas affected by the recent hurricanes in the southern United States and the Caribbean.
"This opportunity presented itself last week," said UW head coach
Greg Gard. "It gives fans the chance to see our team, it gives our team a chance to play against another school and, most importantly, we can raise some money for a great organization like
Team Rubicon that does so much to assist those in need around the world."
For fans unable to make it to the game, there will be a
live stream on BTN Plus and a
radio broadcast on WIBA / iHeartRadio.
Parking will be available for purchase on the day of the game. Cash only will be accepted at the lots. No advance sale of parking will take place.
With limited seating capacity, the UW strongly encouraged fans to secure their tickets in advance. Due to the brief lead time, venue staffing, concessions and other logistics will restrict seating capacity at the Kohl Center to the 100 and 200 level seating areas - a capacity of approximately 10,000 tickets.
Fans in attendance will be asked to donate to
Team Rubicon, an organization founded by former Badger football student-athlete and U.S. Marine Corps veteran Jake Wood that unites the skills and experience of military veterans with first responders to rapidly deploy emergency response teams to disaster areas. Team Rubicon has current relief operations underway in Houston, San Juan, Puerto Rico and at the wildfires in California.
