Unless I missed it, no one has posted the most meaningful stat of all:
We're now 5-1 and have averaged nearly 87 (86.83) points per game since Markeith's dismissal.
Does anyone here think that's a coincidence?

Does anyone here think that's a coincidence? As much as I loved Markeith and still do, unfortunately I’m going to have to say it isn’t at this point. I’m happy to say it from a basketball/winning perspective, but to see such a great dude leave the program like that and then see the impact is also tough. Winning will always be the most important of the two, though

Another fun stat:
Milwaukee: 1,334 points Opponents: 1,334 points
By and large, offense isn't our problem.

UWM 88, Cleveland State 80: Panthers pull off a massive comeback to remain near the top of the league Curt Hogg Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
The flurries outside the UWM Panther Arena erased all visibility on the roads. The flurry inside made Cleveland State’s lead vanish in a matter of minutes.
Trailing by as many as 19 points late in the first half, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee turned on the pressure on both ends and stormed back for an 88-80 win over Cleveland State on Friday afternoon at the UWM Panther Arena.
“We woke up,” forward Langston Wilson said. “I feel like the first half we weren’t all the way awake. We kind of got punched in the face. We had a really good talk with coach at halftime and we decided we’re going to come out and we’re going to be the aggressors.”
It was ugly early on. The Panthers couldn’t find the basket while the Vikings were living in the paint as they pulled out to a 37-18 lead with six minutes to play in the first half.
But Erik Pratt poured in 21 points and Elijah Jamison emerged from a lengthy cold spell to score a career-high 20 points, 18 of which came in the second half, to spearhead a frenetic rally.
“He went to a whole different level tonight,” Panthers head coach Bart Lundy said of Jamison, who entered averaging 7.4 points per game on 27% shooting in conference play. “I thought he really grew up in his game tonight.”
Milwaukee’s initial surge out of halftime to get back in the contest happened in a flash. After closing the first half strong, Pratt opened the scoring with a technical free throw, then Kentrell Pullian made a layup for his only points of the game to draw within eight.
Jamison hit a fastbreak jumper, Pratt canned a three and Jamison hit a three to tie the game at 47-47. After another stop on defense, Pratt grabbed an offensive rebound and turned it into a three-point play for Milwaukee’s first lead of the day.
The 17-0 run took only a matter of four minutes, 10 seconds.
Wilson recorded a double-double with 15 points and 14 rebounds, both career highs, to go along with two blocks. The 6-foot-9 forward played a key role in Milwaukee clamping down on the defensive end in the second half as it held Cleveland State to 31.4% shooting from the floor over the final 20 minutes.
Lundy lauded the job done on Vikings forward Tristan Enaruna, a returning first team all-conference player and Cleveland State’s leading scorer. Enaruna finished with 20 points but shot an inefficient 7 for 19 from the field, including 4 for 14 in the second half.
The charge on Enaruna was led by forward Darius Duffy.
“There’s no numbers that jump out at you but what he does for this team is priceless,” Lundy said. “He did such a tremendous job stopping him from getting catches to his spots and just making everything hard for him and being physical.”
Enaruna began actively hunting his shots once the Panthers stormed back, scoring nine of the team’s 20 points over seven minutes as they countered with a run of their own to reclaim a six-point lead at 67-671 with eight minutes to play.
But Jamison buried a three from the wing on Milwaukee’s next possession, made a pair of free throws the next time down and not long after gave the Panthers the lead back at 70-69 with a pull-up jumper.
Pratt, averaging now 18.9 points over his last nine contests, hit a dagger three from the corner off a nifty skip pass from BJ Freeman with 1:56 to play that put Milwaukee up by six.
“He’s got a really high IQ,” Lundy said of Pratt. “Everybody sees who makes shots. And he’s got that gene where, like in the game tonight, where he’s got that ability to move on. He didn’t have a turnover tonight. He handles pressure well and he stays calm. He’s 6-5, 6-6 and so see over the defense…his offensive package is pretty, pretty special.”
Jamison scored the next six for the Panthers, including four from the free throw line, to ice the game away.
Milwaukee finished the game on a 27-13 run over the last eight minutes, making 8 of 10 field goal attempts.
The win keeps the Panthers in the thick of a contested race in the Horizon League. At 4-2, they are tied with six other teams in the loss column for first place and are a half-game behind both Oakland and Green Bay at the top of the standings.

"To start the game, they (CSU) always come out and are very physical and we didn't respond to that very well," head coach Bart Lundy said. "And then we missed some shots and didn't get stops and it kind of snowballed on us. Defensively, we weren't very good. Halftime, these guys came out really focused and with much better energy."
"For a lot of that second half, we were getting really good stops, but Jamison was dominant down the stretch," Lundy said. "Pratt hit some big shots, BJ (Freeman) was good, Langston (Wilson) was tremendous on the glass. Second half, we were really good … we have to find a way to start better. But proud of these guys and their effort in the second half."

Was able to see about 6 people in the crowd across the way and another 5-6 courtside. Maybe a few more fans coming in? Doubt it big fail by the ad. Egg on their face but they lack any self awareness it seems. Roads will be fine all night it’s almost like we have entire departments of workers to clear roadways in Milwaukee. Wussification of society. I drove home to the north after the game and the interstate was in horrible shape the whole way. I am thanking my lucky stars to be home safely. I saw 5 or 6 cars that did NOT. Sure, around the arena looked fine sure, but this turned out to be the right call 100%. And if you don't think so you weren't on the roads. 12-17 inches west of downtown. I cannot imagine leaving at 9:15 pm tonight if I was a fan or closer to 10 pm for me. Complain all you'd like, it's lost on me.
