MILWAUKEE - The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee men's basketball team will be honored by the Milwaukee Wave at Saturday's MISL Championship Series game at the Bradley Center.

Head coach Bruce Pearl will kick out the first ball and Panther players will be in attendance to be recognized by the Wave.

UWM students can also receive special pricing for the game. Tickets purchased at the Bradley Center Ticket Office with a student ID will be half-price.

The game begins at 1 p.m.

This past season, UWM won the Horizon League Tournament championship and advanced to the NCAA Division I Tournament for the first time in school history. UWM's 24 wins equaled the most in school history and Pearl was named Horizon League Coach of the Year for the second-straight season.
