Michigan will face San Diego State on November 13 at 10:30 p.m. and Auburn on November 14 at 8:30 p.m.
What to Expect from the Festival
The Players Era Festival is being hailed as the largest multi-team event in college basketball history.

A successful outing in Las Vegas could provide valuable quadrant one wins, enhancing Michigan’s standing ahead of Thanksgiving and the rest of the season.
The Impact of a Strong Performance
For teams participating in the Players Era Festival, achieving two or three victories could significantly boost their confidence and rankings. A successful run could not only improve their records but also solidify their positions in the college basketball landscape. The Wolverines will be keen to capitalize on this opportunity, showcasing their skills against formidable opponents.
As the excitement builds for the 2025 Players Era Festival, basketball enthusiasts will be watching closely to see how Michigan measures up against its rivals. The outcomes from these games could have long-lasting implications as teams aim for success in the upcoming season.
