BracketBusters Tilt With Missouri State Set For Feb. 18 At 1 p.m. On ESPN2
UWM makes another national TV appearance

MILWAUKEE - The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee men's basketball team's
contest with Missouri State in the fourth-annual BracketBusters presented by
eBay will tipoff at 1 p.m. CST on Sat. Feb. 18 and be televised by ESPN2.

The matchup was announced last week but a game time and network was not
announced by ESPN officials until today.

This will mark the fourth-straight year the Panthers have appeared on
national television in the event. It is also the 14th national television
appearance by UWM over the last three-plus seasons.

Milwaukee has gone 1-2 in its previous Bracket Buster games, beating Hawai'i
last season after losing at Southern Illinois (2002-03) and at home to
Manhattan (2003-04).

Tickets for the BracketBusters presented by eBay game with Missouri State
are on sale through all Milwaukee-area Ticket Master outlets, by phone at
414-276-4545 or online at ticketmaster.com. As with all regular-season
games, UWM students are admitted free with a valid student ID.

I'm surprised they are putting the Bucknell-Northern Iowa game first at 11 a.m.

Looks like Creighton drew the Midnight Madness spot... an 11 p.m. game against Fresno State. I wouldn't have minded if UWM was placed in that timeslot.
