MILWAUKEE - The Milwaukee men's basketball team plays its lone exhibition contest of the 2016-17 preseason when it welcomes NCAA Division III foe Concordia University Wisconsin to the Klotsche Center Saturday.
 
Head coach LaVall Jordan will officially be at the helm for the first time, getting the new season underway in exhibition format against the Falcons at 2 p.m.
 
Concordia makes the short trip down from Mequon and is coming off a 16-10 season a year ago. Shawn Cassidy completed his ninth season in 2015-16 as the head coach of the program and has gone 150-90 overall, including 108-50 record in conference play. He has twice guided his team to the NCAA Division III Tournament, most recently in 2014-15.

Tickets can be purchased by visiting the Panther Ticket Office, or by calling 414-229-5886.
 
Jordan, who comes to the Panthers after six successful seasons as an assistant coach with the University of Michigan basketball program under head coach John Beilein, looks forward to the challenge.
 
He joined the Black & Gold Network, along with senior Cody Wichmann, to offer some background and insight into the start of the new campaign for the Panthers.
