One more loss and they have NO shot at an at large bid??? Are you on drugs. We have wins at Manhattan, St Louis, and Big 10 Purdue to go along wiht other wins against Air Force, on the road in conference at UIC, Butler and Detroit and after this weekend GB...I would say that is a pretty damn good resume. They look at road games and SOS and playing Kansas and UW only helped us whether we lost or not. We went on the road and played excellent competition and we won a majority of those games. If we lose one more game in conference pretty sure they will not penalize us and say we have NO shot you idiot. LIke I said before DOMINATION Get real and come down from your fantasy land. Teams with RPIs in the 80s do not get at large bids. I have never sean a team with an RIP above 60 get an at large bid. This late in the season UWM cannot recover from a 81 RPI. Every time you play a horizon league team it will drop your RPI whether you win or not due to the weak SOS. The wins you mentioned on the road were agianst teams that all suck this year. Here are there respective RPIs. Purdue - 191 Air Force - 127 Manhattan - 119 St Louis - 217 Actually the only sub 100 RPI team you have beaten is UIC. I don't think the commitee will invite teams that get hammerd by 30 at Wisconsin and beat by Detroit at home.

Good God. Do you guys always feed the trolls?! Ignore Horizon Leaguer or ban him for stupidity since that should be a crime. BTW, bring some fans for the TV game next saturday since our crowds have sucked this year.

Nohopspanther you need to take a chill pill. I have supported the Panther program for years. If I am correct I believe you played for a few years but regardless I know my stuff. Dont go talking about banning people for expressing their own opinion. People express there opinion in an array of different ways so chill out and go back to the UWM board. You are the exact reason why I don tpost on the UWM board, because of morons like you. I know UWMfreak along iwth several others will agree with me that you can be a real ass. Dont go acting like you are some guru or excellent person, cause you have no clue who I am and what I am all about.
Aside from that moron, I do agree that two more losses and they will be overlooked without question, but those road wins were solid ones. We went into there place and won in the middle of season regardless of what there RPI is. It just shows average teams from power conferences are not as good as great teams in weaker conferences. I think UWM will finish there remaining 8 games of the season (Including bracketbuster) 7-1 or 6-2 at worst. That would leave them 22-5. If they make it to teh championship of the league tourney and lose they will be 24-6, that will be good enough for a bubble team when they see losses AT Kansas, Wisconsin and Valpo (even though valpo is down).
Good luck

HL'er........just curious as to why you continue to fuel the fire over here on the UIC site? It is one thing if you don't like the UWM board, that is your perogative, but then why only post on the UIC board (where you are not even registered)? You don't post on the BU board, the WSU board, the GB board, the LU board, or the UD board with anywhere near the frequency that you do over here. You are only making the rest of the UWM fans look bad.......I am all for having an intelligent conversation/argument/disagreement/banter, etc., but most of the time you end up swearing and not making sense, and then wondering why no one agrees with your way of thinking (on a UIC site nonetheless). And on a side note, there is virtually NO way that UWM is going to get an At-large bid this year. If they win out, and lose a close game in the HL championship game, there may be a slight glimmer of hope, but if not - it is back to the NIT (any of the coaches will tell you that).

RPI is WAY too high at this point in the season. Now if Gonzaga was in the Bracket Buster and if UWM upset them, that would probably have been the only way UWM will get an at-large. The nice thing about this for us is ... UWM players know they're not getting and at-large, so they know they have to make every game count.

Does uwm deserve a at large bid?, I say yes even with a couple more losses. Will they get it? I say no, The horizon league has no respect this year or pretty much any year for that matter. I think the league as a whole is actually better this year than in years past. The league is very balalnced with the exception of UWM being a cut above everyone. Wright state and Loyola are no longer looked at as a easy win. Butler has not lived up to there reputation from years past, and therefore alot of people think the conference is not as powerful. While our conference does not have 2 or 3 teams that dominate the conference, we now have 7 teams that can win on any given night. Hopefully the bracket buster games will prove that the conference as a whole is much better than people think.
As for Horizon leaguer, keep on swearing and name calling, you just diminish the repect people give for your opinion. All the knowledable fans on this site respect what uwm has accomplished the past couple of years and you dont need to act like a jerk asking for it. I personally have a greater respect what butler has done the past ten years. Grant it they have had a bad last couple of years but as a whole they have consistently been on top. They made a cinderella run in the tournament among there numerous appearances there. They also have the best fan base of any of the horizon league teams. Thats something I think both UIC and UWM wish they had. Even on down years like they are having this year, I still fear playing butler on the road.

Hey HL dumbass; if you know your stuff, you would realize Waters has already been in this league and failed to dominate anyone. But I'm glad you think you know your stuff.

The only thing UWM has locked up at the tourney is ugliest cheerleaders. They even have twin uglys.

If you have problems with opinions of people on the board, address them, but really, do you have to take shots at innocent people while you do it?
