Cal’s basketball program added a marquee opponent to its schedule Monday — the University of Virginia.
The Bears, whose No. 2-ranked recruiting class has sparked great anticipation for the upcoming season, will face Virginia on December 22 in Charlottesville, Va. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN2.
The Cavaliers will then come to Berkeley for a game at Haas Pavilion during the 2016-17 season.
Virginia, coached by Tony Bennett (formerly of Washington State), went 30-4 last season, including 16-2 to win the Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season title.
