The game will be played at Pechanga Arena in San Diego.<\/p>\n<p>The event will also feature a women\u2019s game between San Diego and UC San Diego. Game times will be announced at a later date.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s such a privilege to be invited to play in the inaugural National University Bill Walton Classic, which honors a true legend of our game,\u201d CU coach\u00a0Tad Boyle said in a news release. \u201cWe\u2019re excited for the opportunity to play an elite program like coach (Brian) Dutcher\u2019s San Diego State Aztecs, which will be a great early season challenge for our team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CU played San Diego State six seasons in a row, from the 1970-71 campaign through the 1975-76 season. However, the teams haven\u2019t met since SDSU\u2019s 78-72 win on Jan. 5, 1976, in San Diego.<\/p>\n<p>The Buffs are 3-3 all-time against the Aztecs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re excited to play Colorado in the inaugural National University Bill Walton Classic,\u201d Dutcher said. \u201cColorado is a quality program from one of the best conferences in college basketball. Bill Walton was such a San Diego icon and with Chris Walton having played for the Aztecs, this event is really a family affair for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CU has had a few of its nonconference games set, and Boyle said last week, \u201cWe\u2019re getting closer\u201d to completing the schedule.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Last week, the Daily Camera reported that CU will return to the Acrisure Series, a multi-team tournament in Palm Desert, California. CU played in that event a year ago. Matchups will be announced at a later date.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=1483\">Lawsuit seeks to expand Colorado\u2019s ban on female genital mutilation to also prohibit male circumcision<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In addition, CU will have a home date with Colorado State and a road game at Providence in its nonconference slate.<\/p>\n<h4>Jacobsen added<\/h4>\n<p>CU officially announced Tuesday that Eric Jacobsen, a 6-foot-11 freshman forward, has signed a financial aid agreement with the Buffs.<\/p>\n<p>Jacobsen, from Brewster Academy in New Hampshire, announced his verbal commitment to the Buffs last week.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m really excited to join Colorado,\u201d Jacobsen said in a release. \u201cI felt like it\u2019s a good spot to develop and I feel like I can make an impact. I\u2019m really excited to be here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jacobsen played two years at Brewster but suffered a torn ACL as a junior and was not cleared this past year until early in January. As a sophomore at La Cueva (New Mexico) High School, Jacobsen averaged 10.0 points and 8.4 rebounds in 32 games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEric is a heck of a player,\u201d Boyle said in the release. \u201cHe fits the mold for Colorado basketball. He\u2019s a high-character guy from a great family. He\u2019s a skilled big that can shoot the ball and stretch the floor. We knew this spring there would be some players available that were maybe a little under the radar, and he fits that mold as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe checks a lot of boxes for us. He\u2019s a young big, and bigs take a little bit more time to develop sometimes, but his skill set is going to fit what we need and we needed some help on that front line. We were a little thin, but now he gives us five guys that can battle down there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=1481\">A Trump order asked national park visitors to flag \u2018negative\u2019 historical info.
