LAS VEGAS — The lights will be bright and the stars will be out in Las Vegas on November 17, as the Gaels are set to open the 2023 Continental Tire Main Event with a matchup against reigning national runner-up San Diego State at T-Mobile Arena.
The pair of #5 seeds from last year's Big Dance are no strangers to one another, as the Gaels and Aztecs have met nine times, including three times in the last three seasons. In their last meeting, the Gaels downed the Aztecs in a 68-61 slugfest at the Jerry Colangelo Classic in Phoenix.
