DALLAS – Just one month removed from its membership with the Western Athletic Conference, the men's and women's Aggie basketball schedules will feature two former league opponents within its non-conference slate during the 2023-24 season.
 
On Thursday afternoon, Conference USA announced matchups for the first edition of a two-year scheduling initiative between CUSA and the Western Athletic Conference.
 
In Head Coach Jason Hooten's first year at the helm, the Aggie men will visit Stephen F. Austin before playing host to California Baptist later in the season. This will mark the fifth meeting between the Aggies and Lumberjacks and the eighth meeting between NM State and CBU.
 
Meanwhile, the women's program will square off with Utah Valley at home before Head Coach Jody Adams leads her squad into Arlington, Texas, to faceoff with UT Arlington. NM State and Utah Valley have met 17 times since first crossing paths in 2006 while the Aggies have faced off with UTA three times in program history.
 
Dates and tipoff times for these matchups will be announced at a later date with the remainder of the non-conference schedule.
 
As part of this collaboration, a total of 36 games (18 in each gender) across both men's and women's basketball will be contested featuring CUSA members matching up against WAC counterparts.
