The exhibition game is free and open to the public. No tickets are required.
“The Beijing Ducks’ visit to Wisconsin marks the first time a professional Chinese basketball team has come to the United States, and we are excited and honored that they will be using the University of Wisconsin’s facilities during their trip,” UW assistant coach Greg Gard said. “This should be a fun game for both the players and the spectators. We hope many people will come out and take advantage of this great opportunity to see top-level basketball at no cost.”
