how effective do you think Keston Roberts will be against the Panthers? Do you think YSU will pull an upset vs. UWM?

[Rawls]

Its a strong possibility, especially considering we're playing pretty sloppy right now, but I wouldn't bet on it. The Pens are having a good year (for them as of late) and are still 6-11 (3-4). Theyre the only team to lose to the Flame(r)s this season in the HL. As for Roberts, is hard to tell, he's been streaky this season. In back to back games, he shot 10-16, then 1-8 (@emu, @st Bonnies). If we play like we can, its a fairly easy W, if we struggle like we have, we could be in trouble, especially at Y'town.

WE have lost to YSU in the past on the road...It certainly can happen but this is a game that we can not overlook....We must come out strong and assert ourselves early...It is absolutley essential that we do not look to Loyola on Monday but keep our eyes all over Humphreys and YSU...This will be no easy game especially since its on the road but I do feel we will come out ready to play and will take home a fairly easy 10-12 pt victory

big game tonight. not sure what to make of YSU this year. i just hope to see a full 40 minutes of play from Milwaukee and we should be fine. they're not going to over look this team. at this point they know they're gonna get everyone's best effort. well, everyone except UIC !

This is the biggest game against a sub .500 foe in program history. That may sound over dramatic, but I do feel it is true. Winning this game would do so much more than just putting us in the HL driver's seat. This win would impact all of the following (due in large part to it's impact on the bracket buster):

1. At-Large chances
2. Seeding in the NCAA tournament
3. National exposure
4. Increased local exposure
5. All but assuring (barring a total meltdown) having the HL tournament back in Milwaukee for the 4th consecutive year

[PANTHERfan]

well, any loss here on out could all but knock us out of at-large consideration... especially a loss to a 300 RPI bottom feeder. we can maybe sustain one more road loss to a more respected team that keeps us in the RPI game, but that's about it.

this game is huge. we have to take care of business and get that W. the BB implications are big. we need a big win on national tv.

the always reliable Mejia has us winning 87-71. i'll take that for sure. while i think we will win, i'd bet on closer to a 8 point victory.

can't wait to sit in front of my computer for another 2 hours !

Is there any way to improve the video feed from these webcast games? The resolution leaves a little something to be desired - not complaining (I'll be watching and am thankful to be doing so), just inquiring.

Thanks for any info and Go Panthers!

[PANTHERfan]

good question. any way you can make the screen bigger?

[SRT4driver]

Wasn't this game scheduled to start at 7:05 ET, 6:05 Central?

[PANTHERfan]

Yep, but I've got sound and they were showing the teams warming up a minute ago... nevermind, the video's back now

[FTA1982]

Is there higher comedy than the penguin at center court???

You can double-click it or hit the Fullscreen button, but the res is so low that I don't really like to have it any larger.
