The Lipscomb men’s basketball team will appear on national television again this weekend.
The Bisons are set to take on UNC Greensboro Saturday at 1 p.m. CT in the Greensboro Coliseum Complex. The second round NIT game will air on ESPN, and it can also be heard live on Lumination Radio.
Lipscomb defeated Davidson 89-81 Tuesday evening at John M. Belk Arena to advance to the Round of 16. It was the school’s first-ever postseason win in its NCAA Division I era.
Junior Michael Buckland led the Bisons with 19 points.
The team traveled back to Nashville on a charter flight Wednesday morning. The Bisons are expected to return to North Carolina on Friday.
UNCG was the first team left out of the NCAA tournament. The Spartans dispatched Campbell 84-69 in their first round NIT game Tuesday. Senior guard Francis Alonso hit six three-pointers and scored 22 points.
Saturday’s game will be the second time Lipscomb has played in front of a national audience this season. The ASUN championship game aired on ESPN March 10.
Tickets for Saturday’s game will go on sale Thursday at 11 a.m. CT. All tickets are general admission and cost $12, although children under two will be admitted for free.
