The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee continues a four-game road stretch with a Thursday night contest at Cleveland State. The game tips off at 6:30 p.m. CST.
* Last Time Out
UWM used a strong surge out of the blocks in the second half to pull away from UW-Green Bay, claiming an 82-70 win in a battle among state rivals for first place in the Horizon League. The Panthers actually grabbed a 21-10 lead early but Green Bay rallied for the lead late in the first half and only trailed by one at halftime. But UWM quickly restored its lead to double digits early in the second half and never let the Phoenix get closer than eight points the rest of the way. Joah Tucker scored 20 points to lead the Panthers.
