FRESNO, Calif. (Interstat) — The Fresno State Bulldogs, looking to build on a narrow home victory, will host the New Orleans Privateers in a non-conference men’s basketball game on Friday, Nov. 21, 2025, at Save Mart Center.

Fresno State (4-2) is coming off an 80-78 win over Stephen F. Austin on Tuesday. Zaon Collins led the way with 18 points and seven assists, while DeShawn Gory added a team-high 20 points. The Bulldogs have won three of their last four, with the lone loss in that stretch a 78-73 defeat to UC San Diego.

New Orleans (3-2) arrives after a 90-79 road loss at Pepperdine on Tuesday. Coleton Benson, Panagiotis Pagonis and Jakevion Buckley each scored between 15 and 17 points in the defeat. The Privateers have shown a split personality early, with a 22-point win over Tulane and an 18-point victory against Southern-N.O., but also a 35-point loss at LSU.

The game represents a final tune-up for both teams before challenging road trips. New Orleans visits Mississippi State on Monday, while Fresno State travels to face Pepperdine next Wednesday.

Tipoff is scheduled for Friday evening.
