Less than a week after Kansas landed a marquee prospect for next year’s team, it announced a marquee nonconference game for next season.

Kansas will travel to Los Angeles on Sunday, Dec. 6 to take on the UCLA Bruins. The game will be part of the third annual Big 12/Pac 10 Hardwood series.

The Big 12 Conference won the challenge last season with a 10-7 record.

Other major match-ups for next year’s series include USC at Texas on Thursday, Dec. 3 and Arizona at Oklahoma on Sunday, Dec. 6.

It will be the 15th time Kansas has played UCLA. The last time came in the 2007 Elite Eight when the Bruins beat the Jayhawks 68-55 to reach the Final Four. UCLA leads the all-time series 10-4.
