UW-Green Bay -- Saturday 1/14

I thought that was how the "game" was supposed to be played...

Head coach chews a guy out, Asst. coach says things like, "It's ok." "Keep your head in the game." "Stay tough."

I personally think that there are too many things going on during the course of the game for the Head Coach to focus on fully.

I thought Assistant Coaches were there to assist. It seems as though this group of Assistant Coaches are there to keep track of non-traditional stats(charges taken, etc.) and that's it!

If this was already mentioned I am sorry, but I didn't see it - and quite frankly, I am surprised that no one else brought it up.

Anyways, for those of you who watched the GB game on ESPN2, did you notice the stat that they flashed in the second half pertaining to winning streaks over a certain opponent? At the top of the illustration it clearly stated Division I - yet who was in the top five on that list? MU over UWM (34 in a row, or whatever it is). I am fairly certain that this topic has been discussed already and that most of those (at least half) occurred when UWM was not DI.......kind of misleading, and kind of frustrating that this was shown to a national audience.

Comments?

I did not notice it (and I do not recall a discussion of this elsewhere on the board) but I speculate that Division I teams had to be interpreted as "currently Division I". If this would have been published in a newspaper, magazine, etc. it probbably should have been footnoted properly.

I agree with you, and know what they probably ment, but to the uninformed........they just became misinformed. There is no question that MU has dominated UWM (in its DI history, and before), but lets just keep the facts/stats straight and accurate.

Whereas I don't like our record against Marquette, it is what it is (Division I or not). Anyway, I support your notion that ESPN's representation appeared to be, strictly technically speaking, incorrect. It does not bother me a whole lot, though (the representation, not the record).
