FRISCO, Texas — The Texas Legends, NBA G League affiliate of the Dallas Mavericks, announced on Tuesday that they will be hosting the inaugural Texas Legends College Classic at Comerica Center in Frisco this December.
Taking place on December 18-21 of this year, Texas will host eight Division I men’s basketball teams across eight games as part of the Legends’ “commitment to expanding premier basketball opportunities at Comerica Center while providing fans with access to high-level collegiate competition.”
In addition, the American Heart Association will serve as the event’s official charitable partner. The partnership will aim to promote heart health and support its awareness during the weekend.
As of now, no ticket information, game times or additional event details are available. That said, we do know who’s playing and on what days.
Who’s Playing?
December 18’s games will include Colorado State versus Nevada and Florida Atlantic against Loyola Chicago. On the 19th, Comerica Center will host San Francisco versus George Washington and Utah State against Tulsa.
The next two days will keep the same teams, flipping the matchups. Colorado State will take on Florida Atlantic, and Nevada will face Loyola Chicago on December 20. On the final day of the weekend, San Francisco will match up with Tulsa and Utah State will play George Washington.
Texas will likely aim to make the Legends College Classic a tradition in time, expanding reach and drawing new eyes to the G League affiliate.
