UB will play South Florida in the first round of the tournament Saturday afternoon at 1:30 pm. The game will be played in Tallahassee, Florida.

South Florida is seeded 6th while UB is the 11th seed.

It could call it the "Battle of the Bulls" as both teams have the same nickname. It's the first time in program history that the UB Bulls have been awarded an at-large bid to the tournament.

It will be the first time the teams have ever played. The game will be nationally televised on ESPN2.
