A matchup between nationally-ranked
Lincoln (Brooklyn, N.Y.) and Beach Ball Classic runner-up
Lone Peak (Highland, Utah) highlights Saturday's Brandon Jennings Invitational at Marquette University High School in Milwaukee, Wis.
Under Armour and the rising Milwaukee Bucks star are hosting the second annual event, featuring teams from eight states battling it out in five games.
Lincoln (12-1) is ranked No. 20 in this week's Xcellent 25 and is led by super sophomore
Isaiah Whitehead. Lone Peak is Utah's defending Class 5A state champion and has a star of its own in junior guard
Nick Emery. The Knights are coming off a second-place finish in the prestigious Beach Ball Classic in South Carolina.
The nightcap is another appealing matchup with
Aquille Carr and
Patterson (Baltimore) taking on
Price (Los Angeles). Carr, a 5-foot-7 dynamo, is regarded as a Top 50 player nationally in the Class of 2013 and is the reigning city player of the year in Baltimore.
