Was it my imagination or did BJ score 20 in 10 straight games?

Really, Bart and everyone else up top, when talking with the media, need to try to keep reminding them that we're the "Milwaukee Panthers", not the "UWM Panthers". We, as fans, can scream it until we're red in the face, but until Bart, the players, everyone that the media really talks to says otherwise, they're still going to call us the UWM Panthers.

At least ESPN has got it right. They are the most important entity IMO. It would be nice if our local media was consistently calling us the Milwaukee Panthers.

Coach made me nervous when he referred to BJ in the segment. He was discussing how difficult it is to keep a 20+ scoring player from leaving to a high major school. I hope he stays.

I would LOVE to see one year of the AJ & BJ Show!! But of course there's more to it than that. We need good players like Faizon, K.P. and Erik around them and a TEAM mindset. There are a LOT of things to consider here.

Not surprised BJ is going to try for the draft & the portal. Honestly, he'd need time in G League, but I'm just glad we got 2 years of him.

We, as fans, can scream it until we're red in the face, but until Bart, the players, everyone that the media really talks to says otherwise, they're still going to call us the UWM Panthers. This is a major problem with just rebranding as the "University of Milwaukee." We need a local, secondary brand so people in the region and state (and maybe country) will have something else they can call us. My suggestion has always been UMIL. When I made that suggestion the first time, umil.edu was a military academy website. They've since abandoned it, and UMIL.edu would be easy to remember. We could also go UMKE, but sounding it out sounds very similar to UMKC and the MKE airport code isn't really known by most people. Airport codes are nice for uniforms, not so much when you're trying to put forward a recognizable brand. I've thought Brew U would be a great unofficial nickname for the school. I'd love to hear other ideas for that in a different, more topical thread.

Interesting....I wouldn't mind UMIL; I still end up slipping and saying UWM like I'm sure every other person who is over 30; the more I think about it and look at the roster it really is something to see what the coaching staff has done getting multiple guys via transfer, and I think it was Pratt that stated at the end of his presser that they will be back next season pursing that HL title.
Usually you do NOT get 20 wins in your first year as a new coach though they clearly exceeded expectations with a different roster. In addition to BJ I will definitely miss Wilson though its not like they're lacking bigs (I expect Fields to have more games closer to what he had in the HL semifinal game)
