THERE IS NO BUS. We are in the process of planning a caravan of rental cars to Buffalo. If you want in, email jimmy@pantheru.com. There is at least one car that will come back after the first game no matter what and one car that will come back after we're eliminated.
Current plan is to leave Wednesday evening.

I picked up my shirt at the bookstore store today. It was nice over hearing the people say how they're picking up the shirts for friends/alumns in Colorado, Fresno etc. I like our chances against Villanova. I feel if we have to play a #2 in the field, that we match up the best with this BIG LeAST team.

Surprised we haven't seen any Villanova fans yet. I figured a few would stop by

They can't find you. This board is a little obscure. Villanova has a Rivals board and you can contact them there. I do not know if they have other boards as well.

A simple google search for "milwaukee panther message board" gives this site as the first hit, so I'm not really sure how obscure we could be, LOL.

Actually I expect their fans aren't even giving us a second thought.
They are probably looking forward to who they may be playing in the Sweet 16/Elite Eight games to get to the Final Four.
Fortunately for them, I doubt their coaches and players are doing the same.

I did find a 10 message thread that had this post in it thou:
and this...
The rest were pretty much predicting 15 to 20 point blowouts. I believe one said "we should smoke them".

They're right. They should. Green Bay and Wright State should have smoked us too, based on how we looked two weeks earlier.
This is a new breed of cat.

I stumbled across the "Nova" board, too. I was pretty disappointed by the lack of in-depth conversation. If their players are looking past the Panthers as much as their fans, than I think this game may be a bit of a shock. Doing some reading over the past couple of days, and I think we actually match up well against this draw, given some of the other choices. Initially I wouldn't have minded seeing Kansas or Iowa State, but Villanova is coming off a "bad win" against Seton Hall in the opening round of their conference tournament. If we play swarming, man-to-man defense like we did on the road in the last two Horizon Tournament games, we have a shot. If we win the battle in 50-50 balls like we did in Green Bay and at Wright State, we have a chance in this thing.
I understand the logic behind Vegas installing Milwaukee as huge underdogs, but they are analyzing our overall schedule and like BBFran just said - this is an entirely different cat.
