Youngstown, Ohio - The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Panthers will have to wait at least another game to clinch the Horizon League championship after dropping an 85-84 decision to Youngstown State on Saturday.
The Panthers' title drive stalled when senior Kalombo Kadima's buzzer-beating shot from the top of the key was ruled a two-pointer by the referees.
With 6.2 seconds remaining, Youngstown State's Adam Bauman was fouled and made both free throws to give the Penguins an 85-82 lead.

UWM Comes Up Short At Youngstown
Panthers fall, 85-84 Feb. 14, 2004
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Doug Underwood scored 26 points to boost Youngstown State to an 85-84 upset win over the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Saturday afternoon at the Beeghly Center.

YSU spills UW-Milwaukee on Baumann's foul shotsBy PETE MOLLICA
VINDICATOR SPORTS STAFF
YOUNGSTOWN — In three seasons in the Horizon League, the Youngstown State men's basketball team never had beaten a contending team.
That streak ended Saturday.
Senior Adam Baumann made two free throws with 6.2 seconds remaining to give the Penguins a three-point lead, and the Penguins survived Wisconsin-Milwaukee's final shot by Kalombo Kadima to post an 85-84 victory over the conference-leading Panthers at Beeghly Center.
Kadima thought he had a 3-point goal to tie the game with just six-tenths of a second remaining, but the official signaled two points and the Penguins had their fourth Horizon League victory.

Men's Basketball: Penguins Upset League-Leading Panthers, 85-84[/b]
Youngstown -- Doug Underwood scored 26 points and TeJay Anderson had 19, all in the second half, to lead the Youngstown State men's basketball team over league-leader UW-Milwaukee 85-84 in a Horizon League bout on Saturday afternoon at Beeghly Center.
Two Adam Baumann free throws put the Penguins up by three with 6.2 seconds remaining, but UW-Milwaukee had one last chance to send the game into overtime. Kalombo Kadima got a shot a desperation shot off with 0.4 seconds left, but his foot was on the line and the Panthers came up one-point short.
"What a great game," head coach John Robic said. "It's one of the biggest wins since I've been here."
The win marked YSU's first victory over the Panthers in six tries since the Penguins joined the Horizon League in the 2001-02 season. It also spoiled UWM's chance to clinch at least a share of the Horizon League regular-season crown. YSU improved its record to 8-15 overall and 4-9 in the Horizon League while UWM falls to 17-7 and 12-2.
