Stanford will make trips to Kansas, SMU and the Advocare Invitational in Orlando, according to the Cardinal’s 2016-17 nonconference schedule announced Tuesday.

In the first season of the Jerod Haase era, Stanford could face up to six teams away from campus who made the 2016 NCAA Tournament: the Jayhawks, Miami, Gonzaga, Iowa State, Weber State and Seton Hall. The headliner will be the Cardinal’s Dec. 3 game at Kansas, which is coming off a Final Four berth. Haase played for the Jayhawks from 1994-97.

Stanford will open its season Nov. 11 against Harvard in Shanghai, China. The Cardinal will begin the Advocare Invitational with a Thanksgiving Day game against Miami, a Sweet 16 participant last season. The eight-team field also features Gonzaga, Iowa State and Seton Hall.

Stanford will host six nonconference games: Nov. 15 against Cal State Northridge, Nov. 17 against Weber State, Nov. 20 against Colorado State, Nov. 30 against St. Mary’s, Dec. 16 against Cal State East Bay and Dec. 22 against Idaho. The Cardinal’s final nonconference road game will be a Dec. 19 matchup at SMU, which won 25 games last season.

Stanford returns 10 of its top 11 scorers from a team that finished 15-15 (8-10 Pac-12). In early September, confirmed dates and times for the Cardinal’s conference games will be announced.
