I guess Vegas doesn’t have the inside information since the line now moved to Milwaukee -2.5. I dont think Vegas values BJ Freeman as a multiple point spread move tbh. Plus we are an inconsistent mid major when he plays and doesnt play.

I thought GB looked pretty decent against Fort Wayne last night, at least in the parts of the game I watched when I skipped through it in about a half hour. While not the Zags, they are far ahead of where they were under Ryan. They showed two qualities that we wish we had right now - team cohesiveness and a solid experienced point guard in Noah Reynolds. It would not surprise me if Sunny Wicks this year will have the success of Bart Lundy of last year. Just based on what I have seen from the snippets of GB last night and the Panthers this year, and setting bias aside, I would say GB is the better team right now. I just hope the game does not result in more excuses - a traffic jam in the construction zone on I-43 that made for difficult travel, the shadows of Lambeau Field, the shock of seeing so many satin jackets or whatever. You had totally lost me (nothing new), until you redeemed yourself with the satin jacket crack. Well done.

The Panthers played their best 15 minutes of the year without BJ Freeman and with a hobbled BJ Freeman last game. If the Panthers lose, I hope Lundy doesn’t use that as another lazy excuse.

A TON of GB fans here tonight. Appears the bandwagon is back and thriving…

So far, so good. Can’t take our collective foot off the pedal.

Decent first four minutes. We need a full forty minutes of this.

Well the next 4 minutes haven’t been quite as good. Still terrible 3 point defense. My yelling “BOO” can only do so much.

I can’t tell if we’re just the worst team in college basketball at defending the three point line, or we are just letting most of GB take them because they can’t hit them.

I like the aggressive defense tonight. Hopefully it pays dividends toward the end of the game if the game is close.

Whenever I remember Lundy's quote that "height is overrated in college hoops" I think of Moses Bol and Ahmad Rand last year.
Whatever the case of our height and length, our defense needs to be defenestrated and rebuilt from the ground up. We could not stop a blindfolded "Make that layup" contestant from the days of yore when Panther home games were much more of an event.
Our being picked #2 this season is looking about as wise as us being picked 9th last season.
PS: We've won the battle of the boards in exactly 2 games this season- and they are exactly the 2 games you would guess. PPS: Still time to turn it around. Hell we could make the tournament with a losing record on a fluke HLT run... But this is tough to watch considering we all thought this team was a contender for the MM Top 25, sub-100 RPI.

You just flatly can't allow shooters to measure their shots. We are and they are.

Sounds like Lundy's got "Budenholzer Syndrome": Let them shoot 3s, pray they miss. SSDD
