MANHATTAN, Kan. – Tickets are now on sale for Kansas State's matchup with USC on Monday, Nov. 6 in the Naismith Hall of Fame Series Las Vegas at T-Mobile Arena, which tips off the 2023-24 college basketball season.

The quadruple-header will be broken into two sessions with the Wildcats and Trojans playing in Session 2 along with the women's game between defending NCAA national champion LSU and Colorado. The first session includes a women's game between USC and Ohio State and men's matchup between Georgia and Oregon.

Fans can purchase tickets for both sessions or just Session 2 in which K-State plays.

Specific game times and television broadcast details will be released at a later date.

The matchup will mark the first time in more than 20 seasons that K-State will open the season away from home since a 73-64 loss to BYU at the Paradise Jam on Nov. 23, 2002, in St. Thomas, U.S.V.I. It will be just the 10th season opener away from home since 1970, including the fourth neutral site matchup.

K-State is 4-1 all-time against USC, including an 80-67 win in the last meeting with the Trojans in the first round of the 2008 NCAA Tournament. This will be the second meeting in Las Vegas after a 68-55 win by the Wildcats at the 2006 Las Vegas Holiday Classic on Dec. 22, 2006.

Led by 11th-year head coach Andy Enfield, USC posted a 22-11 overall record, including a tie for second place in the Pac-12 with a 14-6 mark, and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the third consecutive season in 2022-23. He has led the Trojans to 95 wins over the last 4 seasons, including a trip to the Elite Eight in 2020-21.

Led by Naismith National Coach of the Year Jerome Tang, the Wildcats compiled a 26-10 record in 2022-23, which included a tie for third place in the Big 12 and the school's 13th trip to the Elite Eight. The 26 wins are the third-most in school history and the most since winning 27 in 2012-13.
