I'd like to go if there's a fan bus or a carload or two heading down.

It was a fun game to watch in person. One of those games you will remember for a long time.
On another positive note, I drive for Uber and I always mention the Panthers. I'm finding that people are starting to become aware of the turn around. Last night I had four UWM students in the car. They said they'd been to games in the past but missed this one for a birthday dinner. They also said that students are starting to talk about the team something that hasn't happened in awhile.

The officiating was terrible. It has been all season long. We need to get out of the Horizon League. Not only will it help the program's image, but maybe we can have some competent officials do our games. I still can't believe they called a foul on us for backing up and then stumbling over a Titan laying on the floor. Wow. Just Wow.

I was a bit confused by Vincent was getting minutes in the first half. No disrespect to him or what he could be, but he had not played in a game in like 3 weeks. It seemed like early the staff was not treating this like a true HL game and that came back to bite us as GB had the energy for the rivalry throughout the game. I fully agree. And if the coaches aren't treating it like it was more than a light scrimmage, the players won't either.

Don’t expect a full roster Thursday… What's going on?

Ouch This one hurt
Why did Rand have to go for that dunk? Why did Browning try to showboat in a close game and wind up missing what should've been an easy two? Why did Lundy call a timeout allowing GB to set up their last shot?
It's almost like they were so sure of a win that they didn't think they actually had to play close to their abilities. How many really poor shots did they put up, sometimes with defenders clearly in position to block it?
I hope that most of the crowd comes back but I'm not banking on it. Losing to a 2-22 team with first place in the HL on the line is not the kind of look that gets people to come back no matter how exciting the game might have been.

You should also be trying to get friends, family, co workers to come with you especially if they are Alumni

I was not able to make the game. Did the ejection result in a technical foul call with free throws or was it just a "You're outta here" thing? If it was the latter, yes it's kind of embarassing but at the same time, it shows that we have committed fans.

Great game. Give NKU credit. They didn't quit. It was a fun time with a loud and energized crowd. Here's hoping they all will be telling their friends to come on Saturday.

I don't know what Coach Lundy said at half time, but I do know that whatever it was plus the addition of Rand and Edwards made a huge difference in the second half.

The student crowd was not too bad versus IUPUI. About a 100 or so. That section would have looked filled if we have the pep band. It's just a bad look to not have the pep band at the Arena. I was wondering about that. Anyone know why there was no band or dance team? There wasn't a women's game. There are 26,000 students. 100 of them taking advantage of free admission and free food is bad.

The MU-UW game didn't help us in any in terms of attendance. I talked to one fan who was interested then decided he didn't want to "fight my through all that MU traffic." In terms of returning the K, I seem to remember that the last time we were there the coaching staff said it had a devastating impact on recruitment.

After what Jimmy posted on their message board, UWGB fans are going to be out for blood! What did he post?

Hi. It was me. Let me set the record straight, please. If the people making the noise had BU/red shirts on ... ANYTHING besides UWM gear ... I wouldn't have said a thing. The fact that it was pretty much only two people (at least the very loud ones), front and center in a very empty section, who were ... well let's see ... making loud animal noises, being the only voice in a semi-quiet gym while the free throws were being attempted ... getting numerous looks from the UC Davis bench and coach time and time again ... while prominently sitting in very visible UWM gear ... that was why I felt it was a very "bad look for UWM" as they were essentially representing MKE at the time in my opinion. I then came over at the timeout later because the two then went on to yell "we were told to be quiet" to everyone around them at every proceeding free throw. I could hear it with my headset on. I didn't say anything about "blame me". I said if you wanted to talk to someone about it after the game, you can talk to me. You still can. Chris Zills czills@uwm.edu or 414-750-2090. Get loud all you want when it's your opponent. This wasn't about that. This was about this particular situation. I am here if anyone wants to discuss. I'm not going to bother going point by point over your post. I will however, say mostly sneezed, but sometimes coughed, sang "Sweet Caroline" and yelled "Miss it." We didn't swear, taunt or do or say anything that would disrespect a player. Nor did we persist after ONE TIME loudly telling the BU fans that we'd been told to stop. After that we said little or NOTHING during subsequent free throws. We were fans not staff, not players, not faculty but FANS. I'm not surprised that the UC Davis people didn't like it However, I seriously doubt that anyone saw us as representatives of anything or anyone other than ourselves. We had EVERY right to make noise to support the team we wanted to see win the game. You seemed to have been the only person there who felt otherwise. And that's not a good look for UWM Basketball.

Maybe a bit early for this, but I think the team coming back from 11 down to make it a game against St. Thomas and Justin's GW against UC Davis is the catalyst for boosting this team up. You can see their confidence and resiliency growing with each game. Even with their continuing turnover problem (I was expecting it, given how aggressively SEMO plays defense), their defense is looking stiffer each game too. I keep saying it, this team is going to be SO FUN to watch once February comes around, maybe even earlier. I agree, but why wait for February. I have a strong feeling that some Horizon League teams are going to be unpleasantly surprised when they play us.
