i talked to gulleys dad after the game while i was waiting for my folks to pick me up. he said ' he came up from peoria for this? gulley is a senior, he should be leading the break, and down by 12 take the shot. it goes in, great, if not, you're no worse off. he told me gulley broke his hand in practice while hitting his hand on a teammates head thats why he missed 6 games this year.

Will this team reach its potential of 27 losses?

That's about the only potential this debacle of a team has.

Next year will probably be worse. Twenty losses. The all-time program record is 24, set in 1994-95 and equaled in '97-98. Fifteen double-digit losses (good catch, nick). The school record is 17, set in 1994-95 and equaled in '96-97. Nine losses by 16 points or more. The program record is 11, set in 1994-95. The suggestion that we'll somehow be worse is hard to fathom when this is almost certainly the worst team in program history. You can probably put us down for 11 or 12 victories next year. |

Undoubtedly this year is bad and probably the worst in Milwaukee's division 1 history. I sincerely hope you are right that next year won't be worse. The one good thing about being this bad is that we can't fall much further.
Using the word "probably" is probably incorrect, but there's certainly a chance we could be worse. I just don't trust the coaching staff's ability to develop players or their ability to recruit quality players to play on a team that's 5-20 this year and playing at a high school gym with a complete joke of an athletic department.

The suggestion that we'll somehow be worse is hard to fathom when this is almost certainly the worst team in program history. You can probably put us down for 11 or 12 victories next year. With games at Cleveland State, Youngstown State and Green Bay, the double digit loss record is within reach. I don't see the 16 point or more record being broken. I don't see the team breaking the loss record, you would think they can get wins against UIC and Loyola at home, though the team may tie the loss record. It may not be worse next year, but it may not be much better. I hate speculating on recruits, but how does the incoming Milwaukee recruiting class stack up against the rest of the Horizon League? How does the returning team look against the rest of the Horizon League? |

15 losses by 10 or more, not 16. not that it matters. and its very easy to see those 3 games mentioned being 20 point poundings. there thats 12 16+ losses and 18 10+ losses.

If the new players can bring in pride and care in what they are doing, good things can happen. |

New players won't make a difference. Only a new coach would.

The players have clearly checked out, and some self-motivated players would prove to be an improvement despite Jeter. Still, I don't trust Jeter to bring self-motivators in or to provide enough motivation for those who aren't self-motivators.

Just a guess...but some of the others might look to transfer. |

New players won't make a difference. Only a new coach would. I think this is true for the fan base. I think there's a core 600 fans who will be here no matter what, but after that I think most people will not return until Jeter leaves or his teams outpace anything he's done with his own program. This is both good and bad, because I hate to admit that truth about a person I admire. But it's good in that nothing is permanent, Jeter was eventually going to move on anyway, his family is well taken care of. As far as the fan base is concerned, this is good that many people are directing their ire at Rob Jeter; once he's gone, I'm assuming many of you will be back as well, revitalized by the new head coach. |

Jeter is around untill 2017 or if the school will pull the plug on him. I would be stunned if the school would do that.

I wouldn't be stunned if the school pulled the plug on him. Let's say we hire Plinske as our AD. The man has raised significant funds at Whitewater, who's to say we couldn't raise funds for the basketball program for the purpose of hiring a new coach? I would open up my checkbook for that. (not that I have a checkbook, but you get the point.)
