Man, an impressive win for Wisconsin Milwaukee tonight. Yea I know Purdue is struggling, but for a Horizon team to go into a big ten arena and win the way they did, that's not easy to do. Purdue could barely get the ball up the court against the Panthers press and McCants/Tucker/Hill were lighting it up. I hate to say it, but unless someone upsets Milwaukee in the tourney, our chances aren't looking so great right now for a NCAA birth with the way that team is playing. None the less, I still wanna kick their ass when we go up there even though it won't have too much meaning with them running away with the division. Anyone else gonna make the trip to see the game on the 5th?

I really wanted to, trust me, I really did. But now, I don't really know if I feel like it. Last year I drove up to Milwaukee for the first regular season game against them, and we got smoked! And that was with a better team. I think I'm just going to stay here, drink, and watch it on ESPN. I can't put myself through that.

i said this before and i'll say it again: i'd much rather see UWM win the HL title and go to the dance because this UIC team doesnt deserve it. We are losing bogus games with a practically nonexistent defense.
Mike, you're right, UWM's press was impressive. i really dont know where our team is at right now.
congrats UWM Freak, pnthr, Bruceismyhomeboy, and any other panthers registered on this board for a solid big 10 road game.

Yea, UWM is the strongest team.
Our players dont deserve the NCAA birth this year or their scholarships, plain and simple.

I just bought my tickets for this. This is a great rivalry, and we always have a chance to play well and win. If we do, I want to be there. It should be fun.

Are you nuts mayur, we could be 0 and 30going into the tournament and I'd still want to see us win it and go. Especially against UWM, I hate them with a passion. Why do you find the need to kiss up to uwm fans? Dont worry they will still respect you and maybe even a lttle more if you dont like there team. But hey this is a free country so if you want to change colors go right ahead |

i simply say that UWM should go to the dance instead of us simply because they've earned it. I would rather see UWM goto the dance and play a respectable game against a #3 or #4 seed, depending upon their seed, like they did versus Kansas.
but us...we get blown out everytime we face a big opponent, save the GT game. face it, we haven't merited an NCAA berth this season, unless we completely tear apart the HL starting NOW.

I agree, we dont deserve a NIT or NCAA birth, period. Even if we win the rest of the games. |

whether we deserve to go or not to go, I dont care I want to be in the dance. There is a whole bunch of teams that dont deserve to go to the dance but will because they won there conference tournament. That is what makes the tournament fun and exciting, and if you happen to pull off a upset its even better. Ill cheer on my flames in the conference tournament and hopefully this non deserving team makes it like it has the last 2 times we made the tournament. Have fun cheering on your panthers mayur, because they are the more deserving team.
As for the nit, I think if somehow we pull off a regular season 2nd place finish or a 3rd place finish and a trip to the championship game we derve to be in the nit. yes we are a average team, but the nit is loaded with average and below average major conference teams. Bottom line is our confernce should have at least 1 maybe 2 teams in the NIT, so wouldnt the second place team deserve that.
