MILWAUKEE - The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee will face Manhattan College in its ESPN Bracket Buster Saturday matchup.
The game, which will tip off at 1 p.m. CST on Saturday, Feb. 21 at the U.S. Cellular Arena, will be nationally-televised on ESPN2.
Manhattan (15-4, 10-1) is a member of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. They reached the NCAA Tournament last season after earning an NIT bid following the 2001-02 campaign. Senior guard Luis Flores (22.5 ppg) leads the Jaspers, whose only losses this season have come to Syracuse, Penn, Wichita State and Iona.

UW-Milwaukee on Monday received its assignment for ESPN's Bracket Buster event on Feb. 21, and it is a difficult one.
The Panthers will play host to Manhattan College, which is 15-4 overall and 10-1 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. The game, which tips off at 1 p.m. from the U.S. Cellular Arena, will be televised nationally on ESPN2.
"This is going to be very important game for us," UWM coach Bruce Pearl said. "Last year we lost to Southern Illinois in this event and I think that helped them (get an NCAA bid), that they had beaten us in the bracket buster game.
