Don't our fans do the "left right" chant as well? With UWM's three-point threats, I would have been bombing threes until the end as well. Sure, Boo wasn't hot but if he started making a few, who knows what happens.
They owned UWM today. I congratulate them and wish them luck.

Your blame may be better directed at Joah "Tournament" Tucker. I really don't think we should blame anyone as a victory in this game would've been nothing short of a miracle.

Come on Hack, you follow enough basketball to know you don't do that in this situation. You don't do that in the tourney for one, especially when he didn't nothing but hustle his ass off all day

I am confused how 3-4 teams each year get home court advantages. I was upset several years ago when Wisconsin had it in Milwaukee. Luckily it did not work in their case. We just played at Florida, last year at Illinois.

fan - I am settled down...I have watched Florida play this year and I knew it was going to be quite a challenge, just disappointed to go out the way we did. I am in no way blaming this all on Avery...quite a few regulars played very badly...AT kept them in the game somehow by himself. I am very impressed by Jeter this year, but felt he went away from some of the things that got us so far as well. Florida is good...possibly 4-5 future NBA players! Great season...gonna miss the seniors...felt like AT has been around 10 years...one of the greats of all-time in UWM history in my mind.

And I agree with fan about Mr. Tourney. He didn't even show up today.

The best line of the day from the announcers was when they said Joah hadn't even broken a sweat yet early on in the second half...disappointed in Joah's overall year. This team really missed the leadership of McCants and Wright in my opinion.

If I'm Jeter, I get a Technical with about 10 minutes left with some of those calls. My favorite being the AT falldown foul.

You don't do that in the tourney for one, especially when he didn't nothing but hustle his ass off all day What does the tournament game have to do with it? So you're telling me UWM fans wouldn't do the same thing in a tournament game if an opposing player, who was hustling his ass off all day, fouled out? It's all about perspective. |

fan- I wasn't attacking you at all. Like I said disappointed in several aspects of the game...believe me, had I been coaching this game, the first person glued to the bench would have been Joah...was he awake???

I don't think UWM fans would have done that in the tourney. I recall nothing like that taking place last year during the BC game. It is all about perspective, and apparently Florida has lost theirs

Alot of big questions for next year, a big non-conference schedule (Nothern Iowa, Mo. State, Wisconsin, the BCA Classic??, Marquette??); a lot of new players (Swiggett, Paulsen, Franklin, Harris, Thornton??, Kaylan, other???); others thrust into more prominent roles (Allan, Tyrone, Massiah); rumors of Jeter's courting by other...is it November yet?? The next few weeks are big for the program as far as retaining Jeter (very likely) and spring signing day (about a month away). I'm always curious if others are interested in transferring back home after watching UWM on TV in the dance(Torre Johnson, Draelon Burns, etc.)

Well when you have a coach who goes with a line up of his starters and top subs with a 20 plus point lead til less than a minute to go, what do you expect from the fans?
I remember that after the Capitol One bowl, the Auburn fans and marveled that UW took a knee rather than get that last score. I suppose if Florida had played them they'd have gotten the TD and gone for two on the conversion.

I will say, I was suprised Donovan let them take so many 3s at the end.

If AT has an interest in coaching, I hope he sticks around UWM for awhile while he finishes up his MBA.
