Thanks for providing us stats that have very little relevance to the current season. Let me know when you find our total 3pt shots made vs missed over our tenure in the HL...it's been something I've really wanted to know for quite awhile!
The fact of the matter is we at UWM are in the so called "Bruce Pearl Era" and have been winning since it started, period.
Yes the HL tournament is the ultimate goal in the end, but having consistent winning seasons at the top of the league also speaks loudly of our program as a whole. Winning the HL tourney and playing in the national tourny only puts you in the position to be publicly humilliated on national tv by a Major program, as you did so well last year. I'll take Page's roll of the rim, last second loss to Notre Dame any day!!!

Krazie you are right but let's take it a step further. Consistent winning seasons bring the alumni and students (back) to the games, raise the profile of the university locally and nationally, increase donations, and give us something to look forward to during crappy winters. This list could go on and on.
Yes, UIC, winning the HL tournament is the ultimate goal, but having a consistent winner is, in many circles, just as important.
Yes, BP will probably leave after next year but I guess that is what we have to deal with as a mid major. I'd much rather have our coach talked about and pursued because that means UWM is winning games and titles, not just two or three games in the HL tourney.
What's our magic number? Beat LU.

UIC has had three straight 20-win seasons....I'm pretty sure UWM has also (I think they're going for 4 straight this year)....so we're no stranger to winning. Jimmy was also rumored for the Bradley job a couple years back.....

Talk about spelling, this is a basketball board to bad you dont spend time talking about it. Big D they are actually going for number 3. And Krazie the reason I bring up the past is because someone said UIC only worries about the HL tourny and it would look like we have many more winning season's then UWM has.

I agree that the horizon league tourny is the most important thing to worry about now. But a winning season is very imortant, and is entertaining to the crowd, good for team moral, and also helps pick up recrutes. Flames fans, you guys are our rivals, we are going to talk sh*t to you when we win. We did win both games this year, whihc leaves yu no room to talk to us at all. I dont even know why you would come to our board unless you were a little uwm envious . I would be real dissapointed if we were a .500 team in the horizon, it is nothing to brag about. I know in the past you guys have had decent seasons, but this year you guys suck! So i cant wait to see you guys in the HL tourney, better yet on our board after the HL tourney, and you guys will be sayin wait until next year! blah blah blah! please shut up! im sick of hearin all this nonsense about how we should have won by 20+. I win is a win! and a loss is a loss! and UIC sucks! so see ya in the tourney, if your lucky GO PARKSIDE! hahahaha

Jimmy was also rumored for the Bradley job a couple years back..... Who cares about Jimmy going to Bradley or any rumors about your weak coach. Is is a whinny, bitter, excuse for a coach. Truth of the matter is we all know where your season is going and where we will end up. UIC hasn't even been a disapointment this year (except the Parkside game that one has to hurt), I really didn't think that UIC would be very strong this season and they proved me right. So please stop coming on the board whinnig and crying about your horrible coach and season. If you want to come here to debate thats fine but some of the comments are just plain stupid! It was a great game I would love to see that many fans at every game, but those four letters ESPN arn't going to be at all our games.
