USU Men’s Basketball Set To Compete At MGM Resorts Main Event

LOGAN, Utah-Per information released Thursday, the Utah State men’s basketball team will compete against Saint Mary’s in the opening game of the MGM Resorts Main Event in Las Vegas at T-Mobile Arena November 19.

The Aggies and Gaels will be joined by Arizona State and Mississippi State with championship and consolation games slated to be played November 21.

The MGM Resorts Main Event tournament is in its fifth year of existence and previous winners include UNLV, Valparaiso, Creighton and Oklahoma State.

For the third consecutive year, a team from Utah will be in this tournament as BYU lost in the championship game in 2016 and Utah fell in the championship game in 2017.

This tournament will also feature a pair of home games for the Aggies in the weeks leading up to this event although the rest of the teams to participate have yet to be announced.
