Check out my blog whenever you want an update of what’s going on in Milwaukee Panther Territory… UWM, might be steadily but surely on their way back. to the NIT? That’d be great. Milwaukee has virtually no chance at an at-large unless they run the table and lose no more than say “1” game the rest of the season.

Those losses to Ball State, Iowa State, and Miami (OH), were pretty pathetic efforts by an otherwise solid team. But I think a lot of folks here in Brew City are putting all going “all-in” on the conference season, and hoping we get a 1st and 2nd round bye in the Tourney (huge advantage in the Horizon League given to #1-#4 regular season finishers).

If that can hold…. (or even if it can’t) the Panthers are dead set on finding a dancing partner in March. Laugh it up… heck, Wright State (as you pointed out) could get to the Dance if they get hot in the HL Tourney. That auto-bid is one helluva thing..

PS: Deonte is not injured and was not sick against UIC. He (after starting almost every game his freshman year last season, and all games this year up until Bradley) has been coming off the bench that last couple of games. I don’t think it is a reflection of Deonte playing poorly as much as it is an indication of the depth UWM currently (finally) enjoys.

Roberts will see a lot more floor time, and will be back in the starting lineup for all of his Junior and Senior seasons I suspect.. but right now- we have the luxury of playing the human machines of Tone Boyle and Ricky Franklin almost 40 minutes each game. Despite his lack of a consistent outside shot, Roberts is one of the best players on this Panther team (All newcomer first team in the Horizon last year I believe). His slashing skills are unparalleled and his preying mantis-like defense is scary at times (in Mid-Major country)… he just needs to cut down on his turnovers and he’ll be all good.
