By The Associated Press     Apr 29, 2010

The Kansas University men’s basketball team will be joined by Michigan State, Memphis and Syracuse at Madison Square Garden for the Jimmy V Classic in December.

The four schools were announced this afternoon for the annual doubleheader, which benefits The V Foundation for Cancer Research. The Jayhawks will take on Memphis in the opener Dec. 7, while the Spartans will play Syracuse in the nightcap.

Since it was established in 1993 to honor the late Jim Valvano, The V Foundation has raised more than $95 million for cancer research.
