Fast fact:
Gary Waters, who won't remove his shoes for anyone, actually owns a copy of the UWM playbook.

Is anyone else frickin' sick and tired of getting the crap kicked out of them by Gary (Wish You Were Here) Waters?
If I were the Panthers, I would want to turn the tables on that loudmouth worm!

I'm hoping based off the UIC win, we show we can play and we have another pouring output like the Oakland game. Raining 3's, we will need to hit shots in order to win this one.

I want to beat Gary, make him take his shoes off, have him pay to get them back and donate the money to Samaritan's Feet!

So much sloppy play. We would be up 10 easy if we stopped literally handing them the ball.

JJ Panoske MVP of the day.
Looks like Valparaiso will now be the #1 seed unless they completely collapse. Cleveland St. still needs to beat Valpo or Green Bay will likely take the #2 slot from them.

Sad to see this is the final home game of the season on a cold day. Great win and excellent energy in the building!

Good win, fun game to attend. Jeter got on Tiby and Panoske at the time out with about 4 or 5 minutes left for not getting the defensive boards and it worked. The Panthers held CSU to basically one shot the rest of the way.
Congrats to the seniors for a final home victory.
This game was our March Madness!

this was the toughest game left on th e schedule. I'm predicting wins in our final 2 games which would put us at 9-7 in conference play.one more win would clinch 5th for us. Detroit is 6-9.

Fantastic way to end the home season. Knocking Gary Waters out of contention is sweet payback for his comments about Milwaukee after he lost in the tournament in GB last year.
Even better what a great way for Steve and Evan to go out. Classy move from Rob to start Evan both halves.
We are now 7-4 in our last 11 in a year where "we didn't have anything to play for." The players and coaches disagreed and showed their character. Fantastic momentum into next year.
If JJ starts having games where he can hit shots both inside and outside the league should look out.
Just a great win. I'm so sorry the home season is over. It's a long time for an old fan like me to wait until next November for more Panther hoops.

Evan played great minutes, had an assist and a fantastic block. McWhorter finished with 13 & 9. And as for Akeem Maurice Mustafa Springs, another game well above 10 points. If he develops a reliable jumper he will tear the league to shreds for a long time. He is averaging 13 PPG, 6.5 RPG, and shooting 48% from the field since January 4.
Also worth noting are the 9 turnovers. We have been taking good care of the ball lately.
