The University at Buffalo men's basketball team will play at South Dakota State of the Summit League in a Sears BracketBuster matchup, to be televised on ESPNU at 1 pm EST on February 18. It will be the first-ever meeting between the two schools. The Mid-American Conference received three total television games, tied for the second most among the mid-major conferences.
"It is an honor to be one of just 26 teams and one of three MAC schools selected to play in a nationally-televised game," head coach Reggie Witherspoon said. "We look forward to showcasing our program on a national stage."
