• “We are delighted to be taking part in such a prestigious event,” head coach Mike Woodson said. “I’m excited to test our ballclub against a quality opponent like Kansas this early in the season. Our team has always valued competing against the best competition and getting this opportunity at Allegiant Stadium should be a lot of fun for both programs and the fan base.”

• The two traditional programs have met on the hardwood 16 times and both teams have won eight times.
