In college basketball exhibition matches, Nebraska's men's team defeated Grand Valley State 73-53, showing a strong second-half performance led by Rollie Worster and Griffiths, despite struggles with turnovers and 3-point defense in the first half. The game highlighted Nebraska's need for improvement before facing power conference opponents later in November. Meanwhile, Missouri State faced Southwest Baptist in a separate exhibition, but details on the outcome were not elaborated. Kansas State is set to participate in the 2025 Hall of Fame Classic in Kansas City alongside Nebraska and Mississippi State, with another team yet to be confirmed. This annual participation continues K-State's tradition of competing in the event, having reached the championship games in past years against teams like Duke and North Carolina.
