The Colonials will travel to the Haas Pavilion next season, squaring off against California in the CBE Classic.
The game is scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 13.
Cal posted an 18-15 overall record under head coach Mike Montgomery last season. The Bears advanced to their third straight postseason, reaching the second round of the National Invitational Tournament, and finished fifth of ten in the Pac-10 conference.
The CBE Classic is an early-season basketball tournament, hosted by Cal, Georgia, Missouri and Notre Dame, all of which hold regional round action before advancing to a host-only Championship Tournament. GW and the remainder of the competing programs will continue on to a round-robin series at one of two locations yet to be determined.
The Colonials seek to re-establish themselves as a basketball powerhouse under new head coach Mike Lonergan in the upcoming season. GW is coming off their best season in the past four years, where former head coach Karl Hobbs lead the team to a 17-14 overall record, tying for fourth place in the Atlantic 10.
