Wichita State and Arizona haven’t faced off since the 1950s, but this won’t be the first time Kaleb Tarczewski is spending time on the basketball court with Wichita’s Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet.
The three spent time together both in tryout and competition for last summer's Pan American Games in Toronto.
VanVleet and Tarczewski were roommates during tryouts.
“I just remember being stuck in the dorms and his legs just hanging halfway off the bed trying to get some rest,” VanVleet said.
Size difference aside, the point guard and center hit it off.
“He’s a great guy,” VanVleet said.
