MANHATTAN, Kan. (WIBW) - The Kansas State Wildcats men’s basketball team will face USC to open the 2023-24 season at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas as part of a doubleheader on Nov. 6, 2023, according to college basketball insider Jon Rothstein.

USC will feature Bronny James, the son of NBA star LeBron James, who committed to the Trojans on May 6. Bronny is ranked as ESPN’s 20th best recruit for the Class of 2023.

The matchup between K-State and USC will be the first regular-season meeting between the two teams. The two teams met in the first round of the 2008 NCAA Tournament, which the Wildcats won 80-67.

Tip-off time is TBD.
