DAVIS, Calif. – UC Davis men's basketball will return to action this week and play its first three games of the 2020-21 season in Santa Clara, site of the team's season-opening tournament, and open the Bronco Invitational with Wednesday night's 7 p.m. matchup versus Nicholls State. After enjoying a brief break due to Thanksgiving, the Aggies will conclude their week with back-to-back 1 p.m. matchups against Santa Clara on Friday and Idaho State on Saturday.

Nicholls State is the designated home team for this neutral-site contest.

Scott Marsh will call the action for all three games live from the Leavey Center on Sports 1140 KHTK, an internet audio link is available above or by visiting the men's basketball schedule page at UCDavisAggies.com. Since Santa Clara is streaming its games only, live video is only available for Friday's contest.

In Wednesday's season opener for both teams, UC Davis will look to extend its win streak against the Colonels to three after recording victories in the previous two head-to-head games. The last matchup between these teams took place during the 2012-13 season in Logan, Utah, in the final game of the World Vision Challenge.

In addition to six newcomers and three true freshman, eight letterwinners, one redshirt freshman and four starters return for 10th-year head coach Jim Les this season as the Aggies begin their pursuit of the program's fourth Big West championship in the last seven seasons.

By finishing with a 21-10 overall and 15-5 record against Southland Conference opponents, Nicholls State recorded its fourth 20-win season in program history, finished second and ended the year with wins in seven of its last eight played. Returning for third-year head coach Austin Claunch are seven seniors — a group that includes guards Kevin Johnson and Andre Jones as the team's only two returning starters.
