San Diego State announced Tuesday it will be opening its men’s basketball season by hosting a multi-team event at Viejas Arena featuring UCLA, UC Irvine and Pepperdine.
The Aztecs’ first game of the event, and their season, will come against UCLA on Nov. 25. SDSU will conclude the event with a game against UC Irvine on Nov. 27.
SDSU head coach Brian Dutcher was lit up with joy at a press conference following the official announcement.
“It seems hard to believe, but we’re going to have a basketball season starting Nov. 25 against UCLA here in Viejas and that’s really exciting,” Dutcher said.
