UW vs. UWM

Last night's game wasn't as much of a blood bath as I would have predicted, but a 19 point defeat is never a good thing.

It looks like young teams with a "just you wait" attitude are de rigeur around Wisconsin this year, as that's all the announcers could say about UWM last night. First the Packers, now the Panthers.

It will be interesting to see how the "new" UWM pans out. The team last year was still left over from Bruce Pearl. This new group are the guys that Rob Jeter recruited himself. It seems the next two years will really be setting the tone for his tenure and likely decide whether or not he has a tenure for very long.

I stopped paying complete attention to the game pretty early, so I'm not sure if the third and fourth stringers were in, but turnovers continued to be a big problem for UW. If they can't hold on to the ball against a 2-10 team, how are they going to fare this Saturday against #2 ranked Pitt?

Hi all,

You should add this UWM Panthers Basketball Blog to your list of Wisconsin college sports blogs! (or.... at the very least, check it out!). The Panthers have had MORE than their share of ups and downs this year, but we're heading into the final swing of the season in pretty good shape (13-11, 8-6 conf.).

Don't sleep on the Panthers!
