Gonzaga will meet Stanford in the other game in the one-day twinbill. KU leads the all-time series against Cal, 12-3.

“I have great respect for the Kansas Jayhawk basketball program and for its place in helping to establish college basketball as a great sport, going back to Dr. James Naismith and Phog Allen,” said former coaching great Newell, 87. “Roy Williams is one of the real fine coaches in the game, and Kansas has been one of the finest programs in the history of the game. We are honored to have them.”
