Tickets for the much-anticipated matchup featuring two of the nation's top unsigned seniors are currently on sale during regular school hours at Dominican High School in Whitefish Bay.

The game between Dominican and star center Diamond Stone, and Callaway High School in Mississippi and star guard Malik Newman, is set for February 14 at Concordia University in Mequon beginning at 9:00 p.m. The late start time is to help accommodate ESPNU, which will televise the game live. 

Stone is a 6-foot-10 power forward/center who has narrowed his list of potential schools to Wisconsin, Maryland, Connecticut and Oklahoma State. He is ranked as the No. 6 prospect in the United States in the class of 2015 by 247 Sports. 

Newman is a 6-foot-3 combination guard who is being pursued by Kentucky, Kansas and Mississippi State, among others. He is ranked as the No. 3 prospect in the country in 2015 by 247 Sports.

"ESPN contacted us in relation to getting a game televised with Diamond," Dominican athletic director Joe Grady said. "They do this each year to showcase the top players. Diamond is a top center and Malik is a top guard. It's worked out very well thus far."

Tickets for the contest are $7 and Concordia can accommodate up to 2,000 fans.

"Based on interest thus far, my assumption is we will sell out for the game," Grady said.
