I think Tracy Robinson should be a "Player to Watch." That Albino Avenger was electric in the game at the Cell. His block late in the game remains the coolest one in the Cell this year, although Jason McCoy had 2 that would have been better, had they not been fouls.

[BBFran]

Agreed. Robinson was unreal in the second half of that game.

[FTA1982]

According to scoresandodds.com, we are -2 tomorrow. Tough number I would say for a road game.

[milwsport]

I say we are - 3, given that I will be there and I'm taking two friends along! ;D

Go Panthers

Looks like Kou has been starting and Logan playing the point since JR Blount has been out injured. Doesn't look like Blount will play until the weekend.

Robinson had 7 points (2 for 2 from 3 and 0 for 6 from 2), 6 boards, and 4 assists in 23 minutes against Detroit.

We need this game a ton...If we win this game on the road we WILL win the conference

This is a HUGE game and will NOT be easy

[bball30]

Womack I think after 5 posts in 5 different threads we get your opinion that the Loyola game is a must win.

I think this is a huge road game as well for UWM. Seeing as how the team is in the midst of a 4 game road trip coming off a win at YSU (avenging the loss last season) I feel the guys will continue to roll. I don't think they will be as tired now 2 games into a road trip as they might be on Thurs. or Sat. when they wrap up the road trip at WSU and BU. Loyola is only about a 2 hour drive if that from UWM. If Blount is out I see UWM rolling by double digits, but if he plays by 5 or 6. A win is a win though!
UWM 75 Loyola 69

Hey bball 30, I dont sign on here all that much so when I do, I usually go right down the list and post in each one of them something that is hopefully somewhat relevant to what is coming up on our agenda as well as what the thread has to say...I wish I could come on here more and post but I am to busy to be worrying about the UWM basketball board every night

I seem to remember that the road loss to YSU was two seasons ago (Sorry, just being picky

[Hack]

Meija has UWM winning 88-74. Can't say the margin will be that high.

Other games he sees:
Illinois-Chicago 76 Butler 68
UW-Green Bay 74 Detroit 73

FWIW, if UWM wins tonight and Thursday at Wright State AND if Butler loses tonight and Thursday vs. UWGB ... I believe UWM can clinch the title outright with a victory Saturday at Butler.

Take that back, it would all depend on what the other teams with five losses do this week. Either way, if UWM takes care of business, the game against Youngstown on Feb. 9 could very well be the clincher.

[Pantherholic]

Meija's prediction doesn't seem realistic. if we do win, i don't see us winning by more than 5. hopefully the officiating isn't as horrible at the end of the game this time and they can't sink just about any and all 3s either.

[bball30]

I have no problem with how ever much you want to post womack. It was just some dry humor, that you wrote the SAME thing in every thread

[Womack]

Its all good
