[jonesified102142]

U cant blame it on him. Blame it on the team, not Hill. You dont know basketball obviously!!!

[navybronco]

DOnt blame any of your boys, they played their hearts out tonite. That was a like an NBA environment with over 10,000 crammed in a place made for 6,000. People on top of the court and your kids never gave up.

Great job Panthers!!

[BeefZerkie]

I was very impressed with the aggressive play of your team and fighting for every play (hey if the refs won't call it hack away). But those guys never quit. I thought we had you dead in the water but we went cold and your guys fought hard and made a real ending of it!

As expected it was a real tight game! Thanks for being classy fans with a classy team! Hopefully we'll finish that whooping on MU for ya!

I'm out.

Boise State bursts UWM's party balloon

Nampa, Idaho - For all the Panther-philes and Marquette nation members who have been rolling tape of a UW-Milwaukee vs. Marquette NIT matchup in their minds for weeks, this just in from Idaho:

Never mind.

Maybe next year or the year after or perhaps three years down the road. But probably not.

Boise State, a place where they don't know a bratwurst from a chorizo, threw a wet blanket on Milwaukee's plans for the greatest game that never was. The Broncos shredded UW-Milwaukee's vaunted interior defense, sending the Panthers to a 73-70 defeat in a first-round National Invitation Tournament game Saturday night at the Idaho Center.

The Panthers (20-11) didn't die easily. Trailing by as many 16 points at 53-37 midway through the second half, they cut Boise State's lead to one, 71-70, on Ed McCants' three-pointer with 29.9 seconds left.

Coby Karl, the son of former Milwaukee Bucks coach George Karl, drove home the dagger, hitting a pair of free throw with 13.2 seconds left.

Someone should mention to that Dan M guy, Boise is the home of the largest Basque community in the US. We KNOW Chorizos baby!! The Basque make them the best!

[Kingsbury]

Even though Hill made a bone head play at the end of the game, he did not lose the game for us. I will admit, I am not a Hill fan and would love to get a PG that can shoot, but don't blame Hill, UWM wins as a team and loses as a team.


1st prediction for 04-05 team...................start Wimmer at PG, hell we pllayed Kadima there and I bet he can handle the ball better than Los can. Oh, just think about it McCants and Wimmer in the back court next year...........................when does Midnight Madness Start
