The Northern Kentucky men's basketball program returns from its West coast trip out at Washington State to host two games inside Truist Arena this week.
The Norse will get the week started on Wednesday against in-state foe Eastern Kentucky on Dec. 14. The non-conference clash will feature a canned food drive, sponsored by Kroger, to benefit Fuel NKU. All fans in attendance who bring two canned goods to donate will receive a future ticket to any NKU men's or women's basketball game during the 2022-23 campaign. Standout Trevon Faulkner will also be honored before the game for his school records in most career starts and most career games played.
Sunday's showdown with Miami-Hamilton, set for a 2 PM tip, will be NKU's Jingle Bell Slam celebration which includes an ugly sweater contest with prizes. The game will feature holiday tunes throughout the contest and the Groove Crew of Greater Cincinnati will be doing a special halftime performance.
Both contests this week can be watched nationwide on ESPN+ and can be heard anywhere in the country on Fox Sports 1360. Tickets for Wednesday's game are going fast and are available here, while admission to Sunday can be purchased here.
NKU enters the week tied for first in the Horizon League with a perfect mark of 2-0 in conference play. The Norse are winners of three of their past four contests and are 5-1 overall at home. Marques Warrick currently sits 18th in the nation with his average of 20.4 points per game and Chris Brandon is ninth in the country pulling in 10.6 rebounds per contest.
