The Utah State Aggies and the VCU Rams are set to face off in an early-season showdown hosted by the G-League's Texas Legends. The game will take place at the Comerica Center in Frisco, Texas, on Friday, November 7th, at 7:00 PM CST/8:00 PM EST.
The game will serve as a key early-season test as both teams aim to build momentum heading into the 2025-26 season. Both programs are coming off impressive 2024-25 campaigns. VCU claimed the Atlantic 10 Tournament title, finishing the season with a 28-7 record. Meanwhile, Utah State posted a 26-8 record, which included a semifinal run in the Mountain West Tournament.
The game will be airing on Urban Edge Network, an emerging digital platform largely dedicated to amplifying HBCU and multicultural content and offers a wide array of live sports programming, including college matchups, high school games, and NBA G League broadcasts.
