The University of California, Irvine, is collaborating with the City of Irvine to host City of Irvine Day at Bren Events Center February 8. Residents are invited to watch the UCI men’s basketball team take on University of California, San Diego, on a day celebrating the relationship between the City and the university.
UCI Basketball has had 32 winning seasons in its 58 years, with the Anteaters winning the Big West Championship eight times and making two NCAA Tournament appearances in the last ten years. Additionally, UCI men’s basketball won the Big West regular-season title in back-to-back seasons (2022-23, 2023-24). In 2023-24, UCI protected their home court with a perfect 13-0 record for the first time in program history. The Anteaters are currently receiving votes in the national polls for the fifth time this season and third consecutive week. The UCI Men’s Basketball program is known for its strong commitment to student-athlete development and its emphasis on teamwork, sportsmanship, and excellence on and off the court.
The event will begin at 7 p.m. Saturday, February 8, at Bren Events Center. Discounted tickets for both sideline and center court seating is available at ucirvinesports.com/irvine. Opportunities to organize friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues for this special ticket offer are also available here.
