MILWAUKEE - The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's National Invitation Tournament contest against Boise State will be played Saturday night at the Idaho Center in Nampa, Idaho.

The decision on the site and date was announced late Wednesday evening by the NIT.

The game, played in the suburbs of Boise because of an arena conflict at Boise State's regular facility, will begin at 8:35 CST (7:35 MST).

The contest can be heard on AM920 WOKY. Television plans for the contest remain unknown.

UWM claimed an impressive 91-63 win over Rice Wednesday night at the U.S. Cellular Arena in the opening round of the NIT. Boise State beat UNLV Wednesday night.
