MBB to play exhibition for hurricane relief

9/25/2024 2:45:00 PM | Men's Basketball

Southeast Texas was hit hard by a major storm earlier this summer, and two area college basketball programs will meet on the court to help those who were affected by the aftermath.

Sam Houston will tangle with Prairie View in a charity exhibition game at Delmar Fieldhouse in Houston on Oct. 13 at 5 p.m. Proceeds from the game will benefit the Houston Independent School District Foundation to assist those who were affected by Hurricane Beryl throughout the greater Houston area in July.

The defending Conference USA champion Bearkats are 2-0 all-time against the Panthers. Sam Houston won the first meeting 108-103 in 2013 and 61-44 in 2014.

Doors will open two hours before tip-off and tickets are $5 for students and $10 for adults. Tickets can be purchased here.
