Nick KrugTickets for the Kansas University men’s basketball team’s summer exhibitions against Team Canada will go on sale Wednesday, the school announced.
KU, doubling as the USA National Team at the World University games in South Korea in July, will prepare for the tournament in nearby Kansas City, Missouri, with exhibitions at Sprint Center on June 23 and 26 — both to tip off at 7 p.m.
The tickets will become available at 10 a.m. Wednesday, and a two-game ticket package will be available for $50. Fans can reserve their seats by calling the Kansas Athletics ticket office — 800-34-HAWKS — or visiting Sprint Center’s website.
Tickets for the KU-Canada matchups already are available to Williams Education Fund members.
The World University Games will take place July 3-14 in South Korea. The proceeds from KU’s Kansas City exhibitions, KU announced, will help fund the expenses for the trip.
The World University Games, as well as the two exhibition games at Sprint Center, will be administered under FIBA rules. The most notable differences from the college game are the four, 10-minute quarters and a 24-second shot clock.
