DENVER – After finding out their matchups in WAC play on the first day of the month, the Aggies found out exactly when they will be playing those teams on the final day of the month as the WAC announced the full league schedule on Wednesday afternoon.

The Aggies' conference schedule features a total of nine home games and nine road games - including three contests against WAC newcomers UT Arlington and Southern Utah. This season, the WAC will also be adopting a new Résumé Seeding System to determine how teams are seeded at this year's WAC Tournament. While games against league opponents will be crucial, the algorithm will also include performance against teams faced outside of conference play.

Following a non-conference slate that is set to be released later this week, the Aggies will open WAC play on the road at UT Rio Grande Valley on Dec. 29 before making the trip back to Las Cruces for a home meeting versus Southern Utah on New Year's Eve. This will be the eighth time in program history that the Aggies will see SUU, however, it will be the first time that the two will square off as conference foes after the Thunderbirds joined the WAC during the offseason.
 
Week two of WAC play will also start away from the Pan American Center as the Aggies head to Orem, Utah, for a contest against Utah Valley on Wednesday, Jan. 4. NM State then returns home for the ensuing three games, beginning with a matchup against Tarleton on Jan. 7.
 
The home stretch continues with a Thursday night meeting against Sam Houston on Jan. 12 before playing host to Utah Tech on Jan. 14.
 
Head Coach Jody Adams and company will then head west during the fourth week of WAC play as they take on Grand Canyon in Phoenix on Jan. 19 ahead of a matchup with Seattle U in the Pacific Northwest on Jan. 21.
 
A home tilt versus Abilene Christian on Jan. 26 will get the Aggies to the midway point of the season with nine games under their belt and nine left on the schedule.
 
The next challenge for the Aggies comes on the road at California Baptist on Thursday, Feb. 2. Following its matchup in Riverside, Calif., NM State returns to the Land of Enchantment for a home meeting with Grand Canyon on Feb. 4.
 
Utah will be the site of the Aggies' next two games as they are scheduled to face Southern Utah on Feb. 8 in Cedar City, Utah, then Utah Tech on Feb. 11 in St. George, Utah.
 
The Aggies are then back in front of Aggie Nation for one final homestand as they host Seattle U on Feb. 16, California Baptist on Feb. 18 and UT Arlington on Feb. 23.
 
NM State then wraps up its season with a road trip to Texas to take on Stephen F. Austin on Feb. 28 before traveling to Huntsville, Texas, for the season finale at Sam Houston.
 
Upon conclusion of the regular season slate, WAC fans will turn their attention to Las Vegas, Nev., where the conference will host the WAC Tournament on March 6-11. Early week tournament games will be played in Michelob Ultra Arena before the chase for a WAC title moves to the Orleans Arena.
