TOLEDO, Ohio - The Toledo men's basketball team will spend its Thanksgiving in Las Vegas competing in the Ball Dawgs Classic from Nov. 21-24, 2023. The Rockets will be playing three games in a four-day span at the Dollar Loan Center in Henderson, Nev.

Toledo's game schedule for the tournament is still to be determined. The potential teams the Rockets could face include: Indiana State (Missouri Valley) – 23-13 record last season; New Mexico (Mountain West) – 22-12 record; Pepperdine (WCC) – 9-22 record; Rice (AAC) – 19-16 record; and UC Irvine (Big West) – 23-12 record.
 
The tournament will be managed by veteran Las Vegas promoter bdG Sports which has partnered with Ball Dawgs, a fast-rising sports content provider with more than 825,000 followers on its social media platforms, to promote the games and showcase the action on the court.

The Dollar Loan Center opened in March 2022 as home to the Vegas Golden Knights' American Hockey League affiliate, the Henderson Silver Knights. A product of a public-private partnership between the City of Henderson and a group of investors led by Bill Foley, the 5,567-seat arena is operated by the Foley Entertainment Group. The Dollar Loan Center, also home to the Indoor Football League's Vegas Knight Hawks, NBA G League's Ignite, Big West Basketball Championships and the Southern Nevada Sports Hall of Fame, sits in the heart of Henderson, a suburb of Las Vegas which has grown to become Nevada's second largest city with more than 330,000 residents.
