Panthers to be Recognized at "UWM Scholarship Night at the Bucks Game" Event This Wednesday at the Bradley Center

The UWM Men's Basketball team will be recognized during half-time ceremonies this Wednesday (April 13) at the annual "UWM Scholarship Night at the Bucks Game" event at the Bradley Center.

The team played exciting basketball throughout the regular season, emerging as champions of the Horizon League. In post-season play in the prestigious NCAA Tournament, the team beat two powerful opponents before reaching the coveted "Sweet 16" level of competition.

Everyone is invited to this special night, which also honors two outstanding Southeast Wisconsin high school seniors. The high school students, one male and one female, will be presented with a $1,000 scholarship from the UWM Alumni Association, if they enroll and are accepted at UWM for the Fall 2005 semester.

Specially-priced tickets for the Bucks game are available at the UWM Bookstore through Tuesday (April 12) by stopping in at the Bookstore or by calling [phone]. They also are on sale directly through the Bucks office by calling [phone]. UWM alumni, faculty and staff, students and friends can purchase upper-level tickets for only
$10 (regularly $27) or lower-level tickets for $35 (regularly $48).

We encourage you to come and see this special tribute to the Men's Basketball Team and the scholarship finalists, as well as to cheer on the Milwaukee Bucks. The game starts at 7 p.m., when the Bucks will take on the Boston Celtics.

Before the game, the UWM Pep Band and Cheerleading squad, along with mascot Victor E. Panther, will entertain fans on the Milwaukee Bucks/UWM Stage in the East Atrium of the Bradley Center, beginning at 6 p.m. UWM student saxophonist Jeremy Scott will play the National Anthem just before the 7 p.m. game.

was anybody at this, how was the crowd reaction?

seen the highlights of it basically on the halftime report on FSN but couldnt see much of what was goin on other than the guys were standing in a straight line

the game itself was quite dull, but then again its the NBA so i guess i shouldn't have had high expectations.we had a decent sized crowd watch the pep band play. there really is no way to tell how many uwm folks were really there. the halftime deal was just as you saw it on tv. they introduced the players rob jeter talked for like 2min congratulating the players and wanted more people to come to games next year, and they announced 2 scholorship winners. thats about it. if you missed the game don't worry, you didn't miss much.

was Tucker in attendance?

[mwu]

hmmm i don't think so. at least i dont' remember in any case. ed, wright, AT, pancratz, hill, boo, ford, mccoy and the rest of the underclassmen. as there were times that i drifted in and out of conciousness, due to the games extreme boredom.

I was at the game and Tucker and Sanders were the only two people that weren't there. There was a good reception for the players from the very few fans that were at the game. There were probably only 10,000. The upper deck looked like it was an Admirals game!

[Zoofan]

yeah, the crowd was pretty small, but I think there was more cheering for the Panthers than there alltogether for the Bucks!! Although I am pretty sure that Panthersrock and I were definitely the loudest 2 cheering for the guys...we had a whole LOT of people looking at us!!

Which is sad because the way the Admirals have been playing the last two seasons, they deserve to have a better crowd than the Bucks.

Hopefully, Turer and his group will be able to put some promotional pop into the Admirals now.
