UWM has experienced unprecedented success in Horizon League play in recent years.

The Panthers have won three of the last six Ho-rizon League regular season titles and, over the past eight seasons, have the second-most wins of any school in the league. In fact, UWM has just seven fewer wins than Butler over that time period while at least 13 more wins than any other school in the league.

UWM has also made its mark on the postseason Horizon League awards list, with Dylan Page (top right) one of two players to claim league player of the year honors and Boo Davis (bottom right) one of 13 Panthers to earn All-Horizon League honors in the past eight seasons.

The Panthers have carried that success over to the postseason, winning the league tournament three times and claiming four postseason vic-tories, including three NCAA Tournament wins. Clay Tucker (2003), Joah Tucker (2005) and Adrian Tigert (2006) have all earned Horizon League Tournament MVP honors.

Basketball home games at the U.S. Cellular Arena are an event thanks to the spirit groups that perform at each con-test. The UWM cheerleaders, coached by Leigh Wallace, also play host to one of the largest Collegiate Cheer Camps in the country - the annual Universal Cheerleaders Association camp. The UWM Dance Team performs throughout each home game and has been active on campus as a registered student organization since 1963. The UWM Pep Band brings its music to the U.S. Cellular Arena while also performing during women’s basketball games at the Klotsche Center. Scott Corley is the band director.

Along with setting attendance records during the Horizon League Tournament, the Pan-thers have reset their own school attendance records over and over again. Plus, fans hit

the road with the Panthers, heading to Cleveland for the NCAA Tournament in 2005 (below left) and to Jacksonville for the tourney in 2006 (below right).


Four Horizon league titles

UWM has had a men’s basketball program for over 100 years, experiencing success at every level. With a small-college regional appearance in 1960, an NCAA Division III regional berth in 1981 and an NCAA Division II Elite Eight trip in 1989, the Panthers have won over 1,200 games. Milwaukee-area fans have supported the team since the days of Baker Fieldhouse (middle left). Prior to the latest run of success, UWM fans rank a 1992 win over Wis-consin as one of the big highlights. The Panthers also have a long history with the U.S. Cellular Arena, which was once known as the MECCA. In fact, in 1993, nearly 9,000 fans jammed the ticket windows (below right) to see UWM beat Green Bay in overtime. Ties to the history of Panther basketball remain strong, in part thanks to the annual Alumni Game. The group that played last season is pictured below with retired AD Bud Haidet.

History


tHree ncaa tournaMentsroB Jeter

The men’s basketball coach at UWM is no stranger to Milwaukee basketball ... or to success.

Rob Jeter quickly made his mark in his first season. He led the Panthers to their third-straight Horizon League regular-season title and into the second round of the NCAA Tournament. But this is actually Jeter’s second stint in Milwaukee. He spent two years as an assistant to Bo Ryan at UWM, laying the founda-tion for the success the program has enjoyed. He then went with Ryan to Wisconsin, winning back-to-back regular season Big Ten titles for the first time in school history while earning trips to the Sweet 16 (2003) and Elite Eight (2005).

Jeter started his collegiate career with Ryan as both a player and coach at UW-Platteville. When his time in southwest Wisconsin was done, Jeter had won three national champion-ships - one as a player (above right) and two as a coach - and six league titles in eight seasons.

If you like winning numbers, then Rob Jeter is your man. In his four years as a player at Platteville, his teams went 102-16. In his 11 years as an assistant coach, his teams posted a 245-85 record, good for a .743 winning percentage. In league play, his teams recorded a 126-46 record. Then, in his first year as a head coach, Jeter posted 22 wins - a school record for a first-year head coach and one of the three best marks among first-year head coaches across the country.

This summer, Jeter moved to the international stage, serving as an assistant coach with Team USA in the World University Games.


Four Horizon league titlesopportunity

In recent years, a number of Panthers have turned their collegiate basketball experience at UWM into an oppor-tunity to play professionally. In fact, Avery Smith, a senior from the 2008-09 squad, is pursuing a professional career already, adding to a long list of Panthers currently overseas.

Clay Tucker, Joah Tucker, Boo Davis and Chris Hill are among recent Panthers who are still plying their trade in Eu-rope. In recent seasons, Adrian Tigert and Jason McCoy have also played overseas.

Davis, Tucker, Hill, Tigert and McCoy were part of the highly-successful senior class of 2006 (pictured below). Another member of that class - Mark Pancratz - has taken up a coaching career and is working for former UWM coach Bruce Pearl at the University of Tennessee.

The tradition of Panther players con-tinuing their careers professionally has been present for some time.

Among some of the most well-known Panthers to continue their basketball careers are Von McDade, who was picked in the second round of the NBA Draft in 1991 and then played in the Continental Basketball Association; Shannon Smith, who played in Europe and was on the summer roster of the Indiana Pacers following his UWM ca-reer; and Ray Krzoska, who played for Sheboygan in the NBL, a predessor of the NBA.

The city of Milwaukee provides tremendous op-portunities for student-athletes at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, both for entertainment and post-graduate employment possibilities.

Downtown Milwaukee continues to grow, with condominiums and other construction projects underway throughout the area. The vibrant downtown, which is busy nearly every night of the year, includes a beautiful River Walk (top left) and endless choices for dining, entertainment and nightlife.

The city especially comes alive during the sum-mer months and is known as the City of Festivals. RiverSplash!, Bastille Days, Festa Italiana, German Fest and Irish Fest are just some of the summer activities along Milwaukee’s lakefront. Plus, Summerfest is the world’s largest music festival according to the Guiness Book of World Records. The 11-day festival features a variety of music from national headline acts to up-and-comers on 12 different stages.

Sports is also a big part of the landscape in Mil-waukee. The Brewers play at Miller Park (bottom left), which hosted the Major League Baseball All-Star Game in 2002. And, the Bradley Center in downtown Milwaukee is home to the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks. The Milwaukee-area also has hosted an annual PGA event and nearby Kohler has played host to the PGA Championship.

The city also provides a great place to start a career after graduation, with many of the city’s biggest companies run by other UWM grads. The University’s students regularly take internship opportunities in the city and suburbs, with many of those positions turning into full-time jobs after graduation.

The city of Milwaukee has about 600,000 resi-dents, with more than one million people living in the metro area. The city is also easily acces-sible, with Chicago just 90 minutes away and Minneapolis approximately 4 1/2 hours away.

When the Panthers leave the comforts of home, they often do so by charter air-craft, helping limit missed class time.

Season Outlook



26 • 2009-10 Season Outlook

Hopes are high for the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee men’s basketball team as the 2009-2010 season begins.

The Panthers return over 80 percent of their scoring from a sea-son ago, while adding three talented newcomers to what should be the deepest group UWM has had since reaching the second round of the NCAA Tournament in 2006.

Last season, UWM won 11 of 15 games through the months of December and January, winning nine of 10 at home during that run. Then, Milwaukee’s biggest win of the regular season came Feb. 18 at the U.S. Cellular Arena, when the Panthers hung on for a 63-60 win over nationally-ranked Butler.

Now, the hope is to turn those highlights from a season ago into a consistent four-month effort that could land Milwaukee fighting for the Horizon League title and back in the postseason.

The work toward doing just that began not long after last season ended. Head coach Rob Jeter is pleased with just how hard his team has worked - and how much it has come together - since its March loss to Wright State in the league tournament.

“I like the team chemistry that has developed,” Jeter said. “Our guys spent a lot of time together in the summer and this fall has just been a continuation of the summer.”

“It is all about the team discipline we are trying to create. We now have an environment we can continue to build off of. It starts with our seniors, without a doubt. We have a large group and all have been in the battles. They are very good leaders and very good students. Now, you can see how that team discipline with the seniors has rubbed off on some of the younger players.”

On the offensive end, the Panthers made marked improvements throughout the 2008-09 season. UWM wound up averaging 68 points per game, though at one point early in the season the Pan-thers were averaging over 76 points per contest and spent much of the year above 70 points per game.

Milwaukee saw its shooting percentage dip as the season went along, with UWM winding up just under 40 percent from the field for the year. But, the Panthers still made 246 three-pointers and shot 34 percent from beyond the arc.

Jeter thinks all of the those numbers can get better during the 2009-10 season.

“I really think we need to get our percentages up. We scored 68 points per game, and that should be enough to win in most cases. But our percentages seemed to go down toward the end of the season. There are a lot of factors with that – fatigue, scouting, injuries. I really think if our percentages go up, maybe we can bump our scoring average up to 74 points per game.”

2009-2010 ScheduleDefensively, UWM held opponents to 68 points per game and to under 42 percent from the floor - two more numbers that can lead to victory. But, Jeter would like to see the Panthers turn an ever-improving offensive effort in more consistent success on the defensive end.

“When we feel good about making shots, we have to make the other team miss,” Jeter said. “With our versatility and with our size, hopefully we can make other teams miss more so they are scoring less.

“We can go bigger, but sometimes that means there is less of an ability to guard on the perimeter. I think if we can really get our man-to-man to incorporate more of the zone principles, we can be a pretty good defensive team. We’re going to stick to our man-to-man, but we definitely have to be more of a zone team on the back-side and really take away some of the gaps.”

Experience will be the key to UWM’s improvement in both areas. In 2006-07, the Panthers took the floor with a brand-new roster that included nine new faces and just nine Division I starts en-tering the year - easily the lowest number in the nation. Then in 2007-08, UWM had two new faces in the opening-day starting lineup and two more in the regular rotation. Last season’s open-ing day starting-five included two more new faces, with a third emerging as a relied-upon regular by mid-season.

Now, all five starters will likely be returnees, with as many as eight players in the rotation carrying extensive Division I experi-ence into the season.

That experience should be especially prominent in the backcourt. If Ricky Franklin is part of the mix UWM will have 180 games of experience among its top three players.

“Over the last few years, we’ve been starting a lot of younger play-ers and inexperienced players in our backcourt,” Jeter said. “We have done it out of necessity more than having a freshman that just outworked all of the upperclassmen. This season, we don’t have to do that. We have a strong group of upperclassmen, so the experience is there, and now we can bring the younger players on as quickly or as slowly as we want. That’s a pretty good luxury.”

The five-man group of seniors will likely be led by backcourt star Tone Boyle. He led the Panthers in scoring and three-pointers made a season ago, earning a spot on the All-Horizon League Second Team as well as on the league’s all-newcomer team. He wound up averaging 13.2 points per game and shot 36 percent from three-point range, numbers that actually dipped late in the season while he battled a back injury. He was also the team leader in minutes played, averaging over 35.5 minutes per contest.

Senior guard Franklin has spent the summer and early fall work-ing hard in the classroom, hoping to earn an additional year of game eligibility after coming to UWM as a non-qualifier in 2005-06. If Franklin is in the Panthers’ rotation, he brings with him three years of experience and 9.1 points per game from a season ago.



28 • 2008 Season Outlook

The backcourt is also boosted by the re-turn of junior Deonte Roberts, who has played a key role as both a starter and reserve over his first two seasons in Mil-waukee. He has started 36 games in two years, earning all-newcomers honors as a freshman before shooting 51 percent from the field last season.

After those three veterans, UWM has a group of newcomers that could all pitch in as needed. Junior transfer Jerard Ajami looks poised to claim a spot in the regu-lar rotation, while true freshmen Lonnie Boga and Ja’Rob McCallum should add depth in the backcourt.

The frontcourt also boasts an experienced core and more size than UWM has had in recent seasons.

Senior forward James Eayrs averaged bet-ter than 13 points per game in league play, claiming a spot on the league’s all-new-comer team. The 6-foot-7, 310-pounder quickly became a fan favorite with skills that don’t typically fit his large frame. But, Eayrs wound up making 44 three-pointers while tying for third on the team with 23 steals.

Sophomore Tony Meier is the young gun among the returning starters. In his first collegiate season, Meier averaged 6.7 points and 4.4 rebounds per contest. He wound up starting 30 games, with his year highlighted by a 17-point, 16-rebound ef-fort in a win over UIC in late January.

Anthony Hill started 22 games a season ago and will look to return to the form that had him looking like a rising star through much of the first half of the season. Hill scored 20 points in a January win over Cleveland State but then had just 19 total points in 13 games after that. The 6-foot-7 junior is UWM’s best true post player and likely holds the key to the Panthers’ improving their inside play this season.

Milwaukee is also hoping for some con-tributions from its solid group of interior newcomers. Junior college transfer Mi-chael Tyler will look to use his 6-foot-5, 230-pound frame to replicate the success he had at Pratt CC, where he ranked sixth nationally in rebounding and tallied 22 double-doubles. Redshirt freshmen Ryan

Haggerty and Riley Walker will fight for playing time in the front court after work-ing hard as part of the scout team a season ago.

“We were one of the smaller teams and now we are in the process of becoming one of the bigger teams,” Jeter said. “With that size comes versatility, because we have guys that are in the 6-6 to 6-7 range and a few guys in that 6-8 to 6-9 range. We can put together a small, quick lineup and play three guards, or we can go with a little bigger lineup by sliding a forward out and playing with a true post. We have a lot of interchangeable parts.”

The Panthers will get the chance to post some impressive performances against top-flight competition. UWM will play at least eight games against teams that played in the NCAA Tournament a year ago, and at least another three contests against teams that participated in other postseason tournaments.

UWM won’t have to wait long to find out where it stands in 2009-10, playing the NIT Season Tipoff over the first two weeks of the season.

The Panthers’ first test against an NCAA foe comes against Western Kentucky in Baton Rouge, La., Nov. 16. UWM will then face either host LSU or Indiana State in the second round the next day and will play two more games the following week.

“It’s going to be an early test for our team,” Jeter said. “It will give us a good idea of where we are as a group and what we need to improve on.”

From there, UWM also has games against NCAA Tourney foes Wisconsin, Mar-quette and North Dakota State in the non-league before turning to Horizon League play. With Butler and Wright State return-ing nearly all of their players and Cleve-land State coming off an appearance in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, the league should be as tough as ever.

“It doesn’t get any easier just because you are going into our league,” Jeter said. “Our league this year is very, very strong. You go down the line with our league and it is very competitive.”

Season In Review



72 • 2008-09 In Review

• Summing Up The SeasonThe 2008-09 campaign for UWM saw a number of new faces emerge while the Panthers tallied 11 league victories and 17 overall wins. November was highlighted by a 24-point comeback against Cal Da-vis on the opening weekend of the season while December included three league vic-tories and an impressive win over Bradley. In January, Milwaukee overcame a rough road trip to Indiana to finish the month with seven more wins. Then in February, the Panthers claimed a home win over na-tionally-ranked Butler. UWM wound up advancing to the second round of the Ho-rizon League Tournament, but was done in by 12 three-pointers from Wright State in an 80-70 season-ending defeat.

• All About The AwardsUWM’s Tone Boyle and James Eayrs were each honored in the Horizon League’s postseason awards. Boyle earned a spot on the All-Horizon League Second Team, with both he and Eayrs capturing spots on the all-newcomer team. Boyle led the Panthers in scoring and reached double figures 22 times. He also made 66 three-pointers on the year while scoring 20 or more points four times. Eayrs pushed his scoring average up to 11.2 points per game with a stellar run over the final month of the season. After moving to the starting lineup Feb. 7, the junior averaged 15.6 points and 6.6 rebounds per game. He finished with a total of 17 double-fig-ure point outings, including five 20-point games, and he had three double-doubles. This marked the first time since the 2003-04 season that UWM placed two players on the league’s all-newcomer team.

• A Little More RecognitionUWM players also were honored when a pair of local publications released their annual postseason awards. The Milwau-kee Journal Sentinel named Tone Boyle as the state’s newcomer of the year as part of its all-state team. Meanwhile, Inside Wis-consin Sports placed both Boyle and Avery Smith on its all-state second team while giving James Eayrs all-state honorable mention recognition.

• Senior SaluteThe careers of a pair of UWM seniors

came to a close when the 2008-09 season ended. A third senior on the roster - Ricky Franklin - can still earn an additional year of eligibility by meeting NCAA require-ments toward degree completion.

After sitting out the 2007-08 season, Av-ery Smith returned to start 25 games, finishing second on the team in scoring. He had 14 double-figure outings and 40 total in his career. Included in that total are 14, 20-point outings, including six last season. Smith started his UWM career as a reserve on the 2005-06 team that won both the Horizon League regular season and tournament titles and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. He finished his collegiate career with 958 points, 333 rebounds and 107 steals.

Deion James played in 59 games at UWM over his two seasons after transferring from the University of Tulsa. He posted 13 double-figure games, including a 20-point performance in a win at Valparaiso in 2007-08. In 2008-09, James had a pair of double-figure outings and the memorable game-winning three-pointer against UIC Jan. 31. During his two seasons at Tulsa, James played in 55 games, earning 26 starts. In all, over four seasons of Division I basketball, James finished with over 500 career points.

• Still Another YearWhile two players saw their UWM careers wind down, the Panthers had a full host of players with at least one year remain-ing in a Panther uniform. In fact, if Ricky Franklin does return to the roster in 2009-10, the Panthers would return as much as 80 percent of their scoring in 2009-10. In all, six of UWM’s top seven scorers are eli-gible to return. Plus, the Panthers added a number of newcomers, including high school seniors Lonnie Boga and J’Rob McCallum, redshirts Ryan Haggerty, Riley Walker and Jerard Ajami and junior-col-lege transfer Michael Tyler.

• Plenty Of ChallengesUWM faced no shortage of challenges on its difficult 2008-09 schedule. The Pan-thers wound up playing 13 games against teams that won at least 20 games and faced seven teams that earned postseason

Season/Career Totals



2008-09 In Review • 73

bids. Milwaukee had five opponents that reached the NCAA Tournament - Wis-consin, Marquette, Butler, Cleveland State and North Dakota State - and compiled a 2-5 record against those teams.

• Proving A PointRicky Franklin peaked down the stretch for the Panthers. UWM’s point guard bounced back from a stretch of below-average outings to put together a good run of games to end the season. In fact, in three games from Jan. 17-24, Franklin averaged 1.0 point and 2.7 rebounds per contest. But, over the final eight games of the season, Franklin averaged 14.6 points and 6.0 rebounds per game while shoot-ing 48.8 percent from the floor overall. He also made 25 of his last 51 three-pointers.

• Big Guy Is A StarterJames Eayrs was a solid performer for the Panthers all season long and then made a major impact down the stretch when he entered the starting lineup. He started the final nine games of the season, averag-ing 15.6 points per game in that span. In fact, he wound up reaching double figures in seven of those nine outings. That run helped push his overall scoring tally up to 11.2 points per game while he averaged 13.1 points per contest in league games.

• Gutting It OutTone Boyle had a positive impact on the Panthers last season, leading the team in scoring and three-pointers made. But, a back injury he suffered late in the sea-son clearly weighed on him over the fi-nal weeks of the campaign. Boyle missed the Feb. 12 game at Cleveland State and then averaged just 7.6 points per game af-ter returning, making just 11-of-36 from three-point range. Boyle was an ironman for the Panthers throughout the year, av-eraging more than 35 minutes per game while playing every minute of a game six times. Prior to his injury, he reached dou-ble figures in 14-straight games and made a three-pointer in 20-straight contests.

• Changing LeadersAll season long the Panthers proved to have a wide variety of offensive weapons. In fact, three players wound up averag-ing in double figures with a fourth at over

nine points per game. But, the final run of games last season helped shine a new light on that fact. Tone Boyle and Avery Smith finished the year as UWM’s top two scorers, but over the final seven games the tandem of James Eayrs and Ricky Franklin took the reigns on the offensive end. While Boyle and Smith combined to average 17 points per game in the last seven outings - 7.6 points below their combined season average - Eayrs and Franklin combined to average 29.0 points per game in that span. For those two, it pushed their combined season scoring average up to 20.3 points per contest.

• Inside The NumbersThe final 2008-09 stats show some stark differences for the Panthers in true road contests compared to home games. UWM finished 12-3 at home, but just 3-10 on the road. UWM averaged 71.7 points per game at home, but just 62.1 points per contest on the road. The Panthers’ shoot-ing percentage was just under two points better at home (39.6%) than it was on the road (38.1%). Defensively, UWM allowed just 64.6 points per game at home but 71.8 points and 43.4 percent shooting from the floor on the road. Finally, two noteworthy numbers on the individual front - Avery Smith averaged 12.9 points at home, but just 9.3 points on the road; and James Eayrs shot 53 free throws in 14 home games but just 15 free throws in 13 true road games.

• Offensive HighlightsIn spite of a final overall field goal percent-age of under 40 percent, the Panthers put together a number of solid efforts on the offensive end during the 2008-09 season. Milwaukee shot 60 percent from the field in the Nov. 19 win over Upper Iowa, mak-ing 30-of-50 from the field. The shooting mark is the fourth-best in Milwaukee’s Division I history. It was also the best since the Panthers shot 60.6 percent from the floor against Prairie View A&M in the 2004-05 season opener. UWM also shot 51.8 percent twice last season, including in a win at Loyola. And, all in all, the Pan-thers put up enough points to win. UWM was 11-2 when shooting at least 40 percent from the field and 11-2 in games when it scored at least 70 points. Milwaukee’s 86

points in the win over Bradley Dec. 20 marked the second-highest offensive out-put of the season (87 vs. Upper Iowa) and, with another 80-point performance Jan. 3 at Loyola, UWM scored 80 or more points five times after doing it just three times all of last season and just once in 2006-07.

• Lots Of ThreesUWM was quite effective from three-point range last season. The Panthers made 10 or more three-pointers in a game 10 times in 2008-09. This came after Mil-waukee had reached double figures from beyond the arc just eight times combined over the previous two seasons. Earlier in the year, UWM reached double digits in three-pointers made in three-straight games.

• Comeback KidsUWM put together a pair of incredible comebacks in 2008-09. Nov. 15 against Cal Davis, the Panthers trailed by 24 points at halftime before outscoring UCD, 54-24, in the second half. Then Jan. 31 against UIC, the Panthers overcame an 18-point first-half deficit and a 10-point deficit with 1:27 to play to claim a 63-62 win. The game-winning shot came from senior Deion James and was his only made field goal all night.

• Other NotablesMilwaukee had a school-record 59 total rebounds against Loyola Jan. 28, collect-ing 34 offensive boards and posting a plus-36 rebounding margin ... UWM had 21 double-figure point outings from its bench last season, including four 20-point efforts ... Milwaukee had four different players record at least one 20-point out-ing ... the Panthers also had nine different players record at least two double-fig-ure scoring outings last season ... against Green Bay Jan. 9, Milwaukee made all 20 of its free-throw attempts, setting a new league record ... Tone Boyle played every minute of six games last season, including the overtime game with Green Bay Jan. 9 ... Avery Smith also played every minute of that game, while Ricky Franklin played all 40 minutes at UIC ... Boyle and Franklin each earned spots on the all-tournament team at the World Vision Classic, leading UWM to a 2-1 mark in the event.

EX #1 - Milwaukee 68, MSOE 43MILWAUKEE (11.5.08) - Ricky Franklin had 17 points and An-thony Hill added 12 as the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee captured a 68-43 win over the Milwaukee School of Engineering Wednesday night in an exhibition contest at the U.S. Cellular Arena.

The Panthers limited the Raiders to just 27.9 percent shooting from the field while pulling away over the final 11 minutes.

Milwaukee was sluggish itself at times on offense, committing 17 turnovers. But the Panthers shot a solid 47.3 percent from the field and used 12 players in claiming the win.

The Panthers scored nine of the first 10 points of the game and led by as many 13 points in the first half, only to see the Raiders pull within five points with 14 minutes to play. But, Milwaukee used a 12-1 run to regain control and were never threatened after that.

Avery Smith and Tone Boyle added eight points for UWM, which also got seven points and five assists from Deonte Roberts.

“One of my biggest concerns became a reality,” Jeter said. “Watch-ing us work out, we’ve been a little careless with some of our deci-sions with the basketball. It’s something I know will get better but the turnovers are something we want to limit.” MSOE FG-A 3P-A FT-A REB PF TP A TO B S MMeier 5-14 0-1 1-2 6 5 11 1 1 1 2 34Sabree 2-8 0-0 0-0 7 3 4 0 3 0 0 21Off 2-5 0-1 1-2 4 4 5 0 4 0 2 23Voigt 3-12 0-1 6-8 4 1 12 3 0 0 2 31Deacon 4-10 1-3 0-0 4 0 9 1 7 0 0 28Kearns 0-2 0-0 0-0 4 0 0 1 0 0 0 15Morgan 1-5 0-3 0-1 2 1 2 0 1 0 1 22Larson 0-5 0-5 0-0 2 3 0 0 2 0 1 24Henne 0-0 0-0 0-0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2TEAM 4TOTALS 17-61 1-14 8-13 37 17 43 6 18 1 8 200FG% 1st: 9-34 .265 2nd: 8-27 .296 Game: 17-61 .2793PT% 1st: 1-11 .091 2nd: 0-3 .000 Game: 1-14 .071FT% 1st: 4-6 .667 2nd: 4-7 .571 Game: 8-13 .615

EX #2 - Milwaukee 75, Parkside 59MILWAUKEE (11.8.08) - Anthony Hill scored 18 points and had nine rebounds to lead the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee to a 75-59 win over UW-Parkside Saturday night in an exhibition contest at the U.S. Cellular Arena.

UWM used 16 different players and had just one player on the floor for more than 22 minutes. The Panthers built a double-digit lead early in the second half and then were never threatened.

Milwaukee also got 14 points from Avery Smith, 10 points from Tone Boyle and eight points and nine rebounds from Tony Meier.

D.J. Dantzler scored 17 points to lead the Rangers, who beat the Panthers in an exhibition game two seasons ago and lost by just three points to UWM last season.

UWM made a marked improvement from Wednesday’s exhibition opener in a pair of statistical categories. The Panthers cut their turnovers from 17 to nine and went from a plus-seven to a plus-19 edge in rebounding, while also consistently getting the ball into the lane offensively.

#1 - Milwaukee 75, Loyola Marymount 51AMES, Iowa (11.14.08) - Tone Boyle had 20 points to lead four players in double figures as the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee opened the 2008-09 season with an impressive 75-51 win over Loyola Marymount Friday in the opening game of the World Vision Classic.

The Panthers used a 19-4 run over a four-minute span of the second half to blow the game open.

Freshman Tony Meier added a double-double of 14 points and 12 rebounds while Deion James pitched-in with 14 points, all in the second half. James Eayrs also added 10. Milwaukee made 14-of-33 from three-point range, as Boyle, Meier and James each knocked down four apiece.

The expectation the Panthers would shoot the ball well from distance this season after an influx of good shooters to the roster proved true on this night. Milwaukee outscored LMU, 42-0, from three-point range and spread the floor effectively throughout the game. The new faces accounted for nine of the three-pointers, with Eayrs adding a triple to the four apiece from Boyle and Meier.

Milwaukee was really in control most of the game, leading by as many as 13 points in the first half and by 12 at the halftime break. LMU did cut the lead to 45-38 with 11:01 remaining, but Milwau-kee’s big run followed, eliminating any doubt in the outcome.

#2 - Milwaukee 81, Cal Davis 75AMES, Iowa (11.15.08) - Ricky Frankin had 18 points to pace five players in double figures as the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee overcame a 24-point halftime deficit to claim an 81-75 win over Cal Davis Saturday at the World Vision Classic.

The Panthers trailed 51-27 at the half but outscored the Aggies by 30 points over the final 20 minutes.

The improbable comeback came about thanks to a consistent effort to pound the ball inside and a marked improvement on defense. UWM shot 70.4 percent from the field in the second half, getting numerous layups and post baskets, while limiting the Aggies to 28 percent shooting.

The comeback took shape as soon as the second half started, as UWM trimmed 10 points off the lead in the first three-and-a-half minutes. Then, Milwaukee got the deficit under double digits with over seven minutes to play and took its first lead with 2:24 left before making four late free throws to seal the win.

In all, UWM (2-0) scored 54 points in the second 20 minutes and wound up shooting 51.8 percent from the field for the game.

The comeback is the largest for the Panthers in Division I history, besting the recovery from a 21-point second-half deficit against Virginia Tech in 2001.

#3 - Iowa State 79, Milwaukee 61AMES, Iowa (11.16.08) - Craig Brackins scored 18 points and Iowa State made a school-record 15 three-point baskets to claim a 79-61 win over the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Sunday night in the final game of the World Vision Classic.

The Panthers were within four points four different times in the second half but could not overcome the hot perimeter shooting by the Cyclones (3-0).

ISU wound up 15-of-27 from three-point range for the game.

Ricky Franklin scored 14 points, Tone Boyle 13 and Anthony Hill 10 for Milwaukee (2-1), which shot just 33.8 percent from the field. UWM played without starting freshman Tony Meier, sidelined by the flu.

The Panthers closed within four at 58-54 on an inside basket by Hill with 9:44 remaining, but the Cyclones scored 13 of the next 16 points to pull away.

Iowa State made nine 3-pointers in the first half, running out to a 14-point lead. ISU still led by 10 at the half but the Panthers struck back immediately in the second half. They got the lead down to four within the first four minutes and the game went back and forth for the next six minutes before ISU’s final surge.

#4 - Milwaukee 87, Upper Iowa 59MILWAUKEE (11.19.08) - Avery Smith scored 22 points to lead four players in double figures as the University of Wisconsin-Mil-waukee claimed an easy 87-59 over Upper Iowa Wednesday night at the U.S. Cellular Arena.

The Panthers built a 15-point halftime lead and then steadily ex-tended the advantage in the second half. Deonte Roberts added 12 points, James Eayrs 11 and Ricky Franklin 10 for Milwaukee (3-1). The Panthers shot 60 percent from the field, the fourth-best performance in UWM’s Division I history. UWM did it by regularly beating defenders to the basket. UWM scored 50 points in the paint and needed assists on just six of its 30 field goals.

“I want us to share the basketball. We were able to get to some places without making a pass, but I thought we were a little care-less at times, with a few unforced turnovers,” UWM head coach Rob Jeter said. “I don’t want to make it seem like I am not excited about the win. We’re 3-1, and that is exciting. I just know this group can be a little more efficient and a little more disciplined.

#5 - (15) Marquette 100, Milwaukee 80MILWAUKEE (11.22.08) - Wesley Matthews and Lazar Hayward scored 25 points apiece as 15th-ranked Marquette pulled away for a 100-80 win over the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Saturday night at the Bradley Center.

Tone Boyle scored 23 points and Avery Smith added 22 for Mil-waukee (3-2), which led for a lengthy stretch of the first half but shot just 28.6 percent in the second 20 minutes.

Jerel McNeal added 22 for Marquette (3-0), which reached 100 points for second-straight game.

The Panthers and head coach Rob Jeter were playing just two days after the death of his father, Bob, a two-time Super Bowl champion and member of the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame. The teams and crowd observed a moment of silence before the game tipped off.

The first half featured plenty of end-to-end action, with the Pan-thers leading 29-26 after a Smith three. They were still ahead 31-28 when James Eayrs followed up a miss by Boyle with an inside basket and a three-point play by Jason Averkamp pushed UWM ahead 36-33 with 6:08 remaining. But, Marquette wound up finishing the half on an 8-2 run and then scored the first 10 points of the second half to take a 15-point advantage.

#6 - Ball State 82, Milwaukee 69MILWAUKEE (11.25.08) - Jarrod Jones scored 18 points to lead four players in double figures and Ball State shot 57.7 percent from the field as the Cardinals captured an 82-69 win over the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Tuesday night at the U.S. Cellular Arena.

Anthony Hill had 17 points to lead three players in double figures for the Panthers (3-3), who shot just 37.5 percent from the field.

Brandon Lampley added 15 points, Anthony Newell 14 and Laron Frazier 12 for the Cardinals (3-1), who made 15 of their 23 shot attempts in the second half.

Ricky Franklin (15) and Avery Smith (12) were the other Panthers who reached double digits.

A long first-half dry spell put the Panthers down five at halftime and then UWM could never string together enough stops to complete a comeback in the second half.

“I thought they were very efficient,” UWM head coach Rob Jeter said of the Cardinals. “They got the basketball where they needed to get it to in order to score the basketball and that’s why they shot such a high percentage. We just can’t try to outscore people - we have to get stops.” Ball State FG-A 3P-A FT-A REB PF TP A TO B S MPerry 3-3 0-0 1-2 3 3 7 0 2 0 0 19Newell 6-12 1-1 1-2 12 4 14 1 3 0 1 34Jones 7-8 0-0 4-7 3 4 18 1 2 2 1 16Lampley 6-10 1-2 2-2 6 2 15 5 0 0 1 34Frazier 3-8 2-2 4-4 1 2 12 3 0 0 0 30Davis 2-4 0-0 2-3 3 1 6 2 4 0 2 21Chisholm 0-1 0-1 0-0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 6Wormely 2-3 0-0 2-2 4 3 6 0 2 0 0 16Giles 1-3 0-2 2-2 1 5 4 2 1 0 0 18Hubbard 0-0 0-0 0-0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 6TEAM 2TOTALS 30-52 4-8 18-24 38 24 82 15 14 2 5 200FG% 1st: 15-29 .517 2nd: 15-23 .652 Game: 30-52 .5773PT% 1st: 1-4 .250 2nd: 3-4 .750 Game: 4-8 .500FT% 1st: 2-5 .400 2nd: 16-19 .842 Game: 18-24 .750

Tony Meier and Deonte Roberts scored 11 points apiece for Mil-waukee (3-4), which started well on offense but fell cold over the final 30 minutes.

Tone Boyle added nine for UWM

UWM held a 19-17 lead after a second-straight basket from An-thony Hill with 9:25 to play. But Wisconsin responded to finish the half on a 20-8 run.

In fact, the Panthers made just three of their final 12 field goals in the first half after making 8 of their first 14 tries from the field. Then, Milwaukee made just 5-of-19 from the floor in the second half.

#9 - Milwaukee 66, Wright State 59MILWAUKEE (12.6.08) - James Eayrs scored 14 points to lead three players in double figures as the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee captured a 66-59 win over Wright State Saturday afternoon at the U.S. Cellular Arena.

The Panthers (5-4, 2-0 Horizon) also got 11 points from Tone Boyle and 10 from Tony Meier in winning their first two league games for the first time since the 2005-06 season.

UWM led by as many as 16 points in the first half and by 15 early in the second half before seeing the entire advantage slip away. But, after Wright State claimed a 54-53 lead with 4:12 remaining, Milwaukee finished the game on a 13-5 run to wrap up the win.

John David Gardner scored 14 points to lead four players in double figures for Wright State (0-6, 0-2), which was picked second in the Horizon League but has not yet broken through with a win.

The final surge by the Panthers started with a Deonte Roberts layin and two free throws from Eayrs pushed the lead to three. A layin by Boyle extended the edge to five before a pair of free throws from Cory Copperwood brought Wright State back within three. But, on the next possession, Eayrs buried a three with the shot clock running down, giving the Panthers control with just over a minute to play in the game.

Eayrs wound up making all four of his three-point tries and added eight rebounds off the bench. Roberts and Avery Smith each added nine points, with Smith also contributing eight rebounds.

#10 - Miami (Ohio) 69, Milwaukee 45OXFORD, Ohio (12.11.08) - Michael Bramos scored 26 points and Miami University limited the University of Wisconsin-Mil-waukee to just 32.1 percent shooting from the field in claiming a 69-45 win Thursday night at Millett Hall.

The RedHawks (5-3) used a 23-4 run to take control of the game by halftime.

Tone Boyle, Avery Smith and Charlie Swiggett each scored eight points apiece for Milwaukee (5-5), which was held to season-lows for points and shooting percentage.

Carl Richburg, who got his first start of the season in place of the injured Kenny Hayes, added 14 points for Miami, which has won three-straight games.

UWM could never get its best shooters on track offensively, as Boyle hit on just 3-of-11 from the field while Tony Meier made just 1-of-8.

“Miami is a veteran team with a lot of seniors on the floor,” UWM head coach Rob Jeter said. “They play very tough, they contest every shot, and because of that they make you shoot very poor percentages.” Milwaukee FG-A 3P-A FT-A REB PF TP A TO B S MMeier 1-8 1-5 0-0 4 3 3 0 2 0 0 25Hill 2-6 0-1 0-0 5 1 4 0 4 1 0 18Smith 4-9 0-1 0-0 5 3 8 4 1 0 1 25Roberts 1-4 0-0 2-2 2 2 4 0 2 0 1 17Boyle 3-11 1-4 1-5 2 0 8 1 2 0 1 33Swiggett 2-4 1-2 3-4 3 0 8 1 2 0 0 14James 0-0 0-0 0-0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 2Franklin 0-2 0-2 0-0 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 20Holt 0-1 0-1 0-0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4Anderson 1-1 0-0 1-2 5 0 3 0 1 0 0 14Porte 0-0 0-0 0-1 2 1 0 1 0 3 0 8Averkamp 0-1 0-0 0-0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6Eayrs 3-6 1-3 0-0 5 3 7 0 1 0 0 14TEAM 5TOTALS 17-53 4-19 7-14 40 15 45 7 15 4 3 200FG% 1st: 7-25 .280 2nd: 10-28 .357 Game: 17-53 .3213PT% 1st: 1-9 .111 2nd: 3-10 .300 Game: 4-19 .211FT% 1st: 2-3 .667 2nd: 5-11 .455 Game: 7-14 .500

#11 - Milwaukee 86, Bradley 74MILWAUKEE (12.20.08) - Tone Boyle scored 24 points and Avery Smith added 21 as the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee claimed an 86-74 win over Bradley Saturday night at the U.S. Cellular Arena.

The Panthers (6-5) led by as many as 21 points in the first half and then hung on in the second half.

Ricky Franklin, back in the starting lineup for the first time since late November, added 13 points and a collegiate-best 13 rebounds, while James Eayrs pitched in with 11 points off the bench. Mil-waukee made 10 three-pointers in the first half in building a 50-32 halftime lead. UWM then turned its attention inside in the second half, converting on 19-of-28 from the foul line.

UWM also had to hang on down the stretch without Smith, who fouled out with 6:40 to play on an offensive foul that sent officials to the replay monitor in determining whom the foul was on. But, Boyle scored nine of his points after Smith left the game in help-ing the Panthers hang on to their first win over a Missouri Valley Conference foe since 2002.

Though Bradley made things interesting in the second half, the Panthers took control of the game in the first 20 minutes. UWM led by as many as 21 points, with Smith scoring 19 of his points in the first half.

The Panthers (8-5, 4-0 Horizon) built a 14-point first-half lead and then led by as many as 20 points late in the second half in continu-ing their best league start since the 2005-06 season.

Milwaukee made 13 three-pointers, the third-straight game where it has connected on at least 10 shots from long range. And, the Panthers shot 51.8 percent from the field overall in breaking the 80-point mark for the fifth time.

J.R. Blount scored 19 points to lead Loyola (8-6, 0-2), which had won four in a row and five of six entering the contest.

“I am pleased with the kind of shots we are getting because they are shots we take every day and they are shots within our offense,” UWM head coach Rob Jeter said. “I do like the patience we have had, too, of really probing the paint. We’ve tried to get it into the paint and have it come out.” Milwaukee FG-A 3P-A FT-A REB PF TP A TO B S MMeier 3-8 3-6 0-1 6 1 9 0 1 1 0 29Hill 1-4 0-0 0-0 6 1 2 2 0 0 0 18Smith 11-20 3-5 3-3 5 2 28 3 2 1 1 35Franklin 2-4 1-2 0-0 2 5 5 5 4 0 0 28Boyle 7-11 4-6 1-2 3 1 19 2 3 0 2 39Swiggett 0-0 0-0 0-0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 2Roberts 3-3 0-0 1-2 5 3 7 1 2 0 1 15James 1-1 1-1 0-0 0 0 3 0 1 0 0 1Holt 0-0 0-0 0-0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1Porte 0-0 0-0 0-0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1Averkamp 0-0 0-0 2-2 1 1 2 0 0 0 0 7Eayrs 1-5 1-4 2-2 4 3 5 1 1 0 2 24TEAM 7TOTALS 29-56 13-24 9-12 39 17 80 15 15 2 6 200FG% 1st: 14-28 .500 2nd: 15-28 .536 Game: 29-56 .5183PT% 1st: 7-13 .538 2nd: 6-11 .545 Game: 13-24 .542FT% 1st: 0-0 .000 2nd: 9-12 .750 Game: 9-12 .750

The Panthers (9-5, 5-0 Horizon) missed all 11 of their three-point-ers in the first half but then made six of their first eight in the second half to seize control of the game.

Tone Boyle added 10 points for Milwaukee, which is 5-0 in league play for the first time since the 2005-06 season. Anthony Hill added nine points and seven rebounds while Tony Meier and Ricky Franklin pitched-in with eight apiece to pace a balanced UWM attack.

Milwaukee also posted another sturdy defensive effort, forcing 18 Valpo turnovers while limiting the Crusaders to a 34.6 percent effort from the field. Smith led the way with five steals

“We feel good about making outside shots, but there are times where they are not going in. What are you going to do then?” UWM head coach Rob Jeter said. “What I was proud of is these guys made more free throws than Valpo attempted, and that means we got it inside, we got fouled and we made some things happen inside the paint.

#15 - Green Bay 77, Milwaukee 75 (OT)MILWAUKEE (1.9.09) - Rahmon Fletcher hit two free throws with 5.4 seconds remaining as the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay captured a 77-75 overtime victory over the University of Wis-consin-Milwaukee Friday night at the U.S. Cellular Arena.

The Phoenix made 8-of-10 free throws in the overtime period, while UWM did not visit the foul line in the extra session.

The Panthers (9-6, 5-1 Horizon) overcame a 13-point second-half deficit and led 75-73 after a Tone Boyle three with 2:38 remaining. But, UWM did not score from there.

Avery Smith scored 21 points to lead four players in double figures for Milwaukee, which saw its four-game winning streak snapped. Boyle added 17, Anthony Hill had 15 and James Eayrs pitched-in with 13.

Ryan Tillema led Green Bay (11-5, 4-1) with 24 points, while Fletcher added 19.

The Panthers shot just 38.7 percent from the field and converted just 7-of-25 from three-point range. After UWM made just 2-of-16 from three to start the game, the Panthers did make five of their final nine from long range.

“You have to give a lot of credit to Green Bay. Their defense was solid. We missed some shots,” UWM head coach Rob Jeter said. “We just need to get stops defensively. That’s where this team is going to make the most growth. Everyone is so enamored with our shooting, but it’s about getting stops.”

#16 - Milwaukee 70, SIU Edwardsville 59MILWAUKEE (1.12.09) - James Eayrs scored 22 points and had 12 rebounds as the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee captured a 70-59 non-league win over Southern Illinois University Edwards-ville Monday night at the U.S. Cellular Arena.

The Panthers (10-6) overcame 34.3 percent shooting and 19 turn-overs to claim a seventh win in their last nine outings.

UWM did it in large part with strength inside, collecting 21 of-fensive rebounds that led to a 22-8 advantage in second-chance points. Milwaukee’s 57 total rebounds set a new Division I school record.

The Panthers also got 15 points from Tone Boyle and made liberal use of their bench throughout the game, with 12 players seeing action in the first half alone.

John Edmison had 20 points to lead SIUE (5-13), which is making the transition to NCAA Division I play and owns road wins this season over Western Michigan, UMKC and Southeast Missouri State.

Milwaukee trailed briefly late in the first 20 minutes but then led by as many as 17 points late in the second half.

#17 - Milwaukee 69, Youngstown State 50MILWAUKEE (1.15.09) - Tone Boyle scored 18 points and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee got a wide variety of contri-butions from its bench in claiming a 69-50 win over Youngstown State Thursday night at the U.S. Cellular Arena.

The Panthers (11-6, 6-1 Horizon) limited the Penguins (5-11, 2-5) to just 27.4 percent shooting from the field while steadily pulling away for their eighth win in their last 10 games.

Deonte Roberts led the bench brigade with 12 points and seven rebounds, while James Eayrs added eight points and nine boards. Plus, Burleigh Porte tallied a collegiate-best 11 rebounds to go with two points and three blocks. And, senior Deion James had three points and three assists in 15 minutes.

Sirlester Martin had 12 points and 12 rebounds to lead Youngstown State.

“I thought the contributions off the bench were big for us, to see some guys come in and play with confidence and play well,” UWM head coach Rob Jeter said. “We have a short turnaround on Saturday, and the way the rest of the season plays out, we’re going to need a lot of bodies.”

#18 - Milwaukee 77, Cleveland State 75MILWAUKEE (1.17.09) - James Eayrs scored 23 points and An-thony Hill added 20 as the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee held off a furious rally by Cleveland State to claim a 77-75 win Saturday night at the U.S. Cellular Arena.

The Panthers (12-6, 7-1 Horizon) led by 19 points with 4:51 re-maining only to see the Vikings (13-7, 4-4) have a chance to tie the game in the closing seconds.

Instead, a jumper by Trevon Harmon hit the rim and bounced out of bounds, with the Panthers inbounding easily to run out the final 0.3 on the clock.

For much of the night, it was an excellent performance by Milwau-kee, which along with Green Bay remains on the heels of Butler for the top spot in the Horizon League. The Panthers led by double digits for nearly the entire second half and wound up shooting 50 percent for the game.

But, UWM wound up having to put together one final defensive stop to claim its ninth win in its last 11 outings. It left the Panthers with a 4-1 homestand, a spot near the top of the league standings and great efforts on the interior from Hill and Eayrs.

“We’ve been talking about our post play and the need to establish some things inside,” UWM head coach Rob Jeter said. “Anthony and big James are our two biggest threats in there, and tonight it was great to see Anthony, who has been up and down a bit, though his effort has been consistent. I was glad to see he was rewarded tonight.”

#19 - Valparaiso 63, Milwaukee 51VALPARAISO, Ind. (1.22.09) - Jake Diebler scored 19 points and Valparaiso University put together an astounding 26-0 run to claim a 63-51 win over the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Thursday night at the Athletics-Recreation Center.

The burst started after UWM led by as many as 12 points in the early going. But, after a James Eayrs layin restored a double-digit lead for Milwaukee at 28-17, the Crusaders scored the next 26 points.

In all, the run included the final four minutes of the first half and the first eight minutes of the second half.

From there, Milwaukee would never get closer than eight points.

Even when they built their early lead, the Panthers struggled to find their rhythm on offense. UWM wound up with a season-high 20 turnovers and shot just 29.4 percent from the floor.

Tone Boyle scored 15 points, Eayrs added 14 and Deonte Roberts pitched-in with 12 for Milwaukee (12-7, 7-2 Horizon), which lost for just the third time in its last 12 outings.

“Turnovers were huge,” UWM head coach Rob Jeter said. “We didn’t shoot the ball well, but that had a lot to do with Valpo.

#20 - (16) Butler 78, Milwaukee 48INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (1.24.09) - Shawn Vanzant scored 20 and Shelvin Mack added 14 as 16th-ranked Butler captured a 78-48 win over the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Saturday afternoon at Hinkle Fieldhouse.

UWM shot just 24.1 percent for the game, making only 13-of-54 shots. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs (18-1, 9-0 Horizon) made 15 three-pointers in claiming their 14th-straight home win.

Tone Boyle scored 15 points to lead Milwaukee (12-8, 7-3 Hori-zon), which lost for the second-straight time. Milwaukee made just 3-of-24 shots in the first half as Butler opened a 13-point lead at the break. Then, the Bulldogs started the second half on a 13-2 run to put the game away.

UWM’s offensive struggles started early, as the Panthers scored just four points in the first eight-plus minutes of the game. Butler then looked like it might pull away, using a 15-4 run to go with 23-8 with 7:44 remaining.

But, the Panthers did strike back, as a three by Tony Meier brought Milwaukee within 23-15 with 6:23 left. The Bulldogs claimed con-trol after that, though, scoring 22 of the next 28 points to build a 45-21 advantage within the first four minutes of the second half.

#21 - Milwaukee 72, Loyola 58MILWAUKEE (1.28.09) - The University of Wisconsin-Milwau-kee put four players in double figures and set school records for offensive and total rebounds in claiming a 72-58 win over Loyola Wednesday night at the U.S. Cellular Arena.

The Panthers (13-8, 8-3 Horizon), who had dropped a pair of road games this past weekend, led by 13 points at halftime and by as many as 20 points in the second half.

UWM was dominant on the glass, collecting 59 total rebounds and an astounding 34 offensive boards. The Panthers claimed a +36 total rebound margin and a 34-2 edge on the offensive glass. Avery Smith had 17 points and 13 rebounds to lead Milwaukee, which has won nine of 11 at home this season. Tone Boyle added 15, Ricky Franklin 13 and James Eayrs 10.

J.R. Blount scored 12 points to lead Loyola (12-10, 4-6), while Darrin Williams added 10.

Milwaukee’s backcourt wasted little time in sending the mes-sage its struggles in Indiana were in the past. Franklin and Smith combined for 16 of UWM’s first 21 points as the Panthers built a double-digit lead in the first four minutes, and Milwaukee never really let up.

#22 - Milwaukee 63, UIC 62MILWAUKEE (1.31.09) - Deion James hit a three-pointer as time expired to complete a stunning comeback as the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee claimed a 63-62 win over UIC Saturday night at the U.S. Cellular Arena.

The Panthers (14-8, 9-3 Horizon) trailed by 18 points in the first half and by 10 points with 1:27 remaining before pulling out the win.

The final shot came after Kris Harris missed two free throws with 6.2 seconds remaining. Tony Meier grabbed the rebound, Ricky Franklin pushed the ball up the court and found James, who buried a three from the wing as the buzzer sounded.

Meier put together his best game as a collegian, as the freshman scored 17 points to go with 16 rebounds. Tone Boyle also had 17 points for Milwaukee, while James Eayrs had seven points and 10 rebounds.

But in the end, the senior reserve guard from Milwaukee had a moment to remember.

“Ricky’s known for hitting a lot of clutch shots, so Tone and I were going to get to the corners and just come up if he didn’t have anything,” James said. “After Tony got the rebound I just tried to run in my lane and then Rick just found me.

“After I shot it, everything felt like it was in slow motion. It seemed like the ball was in the air for a long time. When it went through, I really just wanted to play it cool.”

#23 - Green Bay 72, Milwaukee 68GREEN BAY, Wis. (2.7.09) - Ryan Tillema and Troy Cotton hit key three-pointers in the final four minutes as the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay escaped with a 72-68 win over the Uni-versity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Saturday night at the sold-out Resch Center.

The Panthers (14-9, 9-4 Horizon) had a chance to tie with under four seconds to play, but Tone Boyle’s three-point attempt missed as he fell hard to the floor. Mike Schachtner then hit a free throw to seal the win.

Milwaukee actually led by 10 points early in the game and by five points with just over eight minutes to play. But, four players in double figures combined with a 12-point edge from the foul line for Green Bay (19-6, 11-2) proved too much for the Panthers to overcome. James Eayrs, making his first start after coming off the bench for the first 22 games of the season, led Milwaukee with 22 points and nine rebounds. Boyle added 15 while Avery Smith had 11 points, six assists and six rebounds.

“It was a very, very hard-fought game with two teams really battling it out,” UWM head coach Rob Jeter said. “It was going to come down to who was going to be able to get to the line at the right times. The best thing about technology is you get to see things before you come into a situation like this and not just put your neck on the line or say something that isn’t right. But, clearly there was enough contact on that last play that we just don’t get and we’ve got to move on from there.” Milwaukee FG-A 3P-A FT-A REB PF TP A TO B S MSmith 5-12 1-3 0-1 6 4 11 6 3 0 1 37Franklin 4-7 1-2 0-0 4 4 9 1 0 1 1 37Boyle 4-12 2-6 5-7 4 1 15 0 4 0 0 37Meier 0-7 0-4 2-2 8 3 2 1 2 0 0 23Eayrs 9-16 3-6 1-1 9 5 22 2 2 2 1 30Roberts 2-3 0-0 3-5 0 1 7 1 1 0 0 15James 0-0 0-0 0-0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 4Anderson 0-0 0-0 0-0 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 7Hill 1-1 0-0 0-0 0 1 2 0 0 0 0 7Porte 0-0 0-0 0-0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1Averkamp 0-0 0-0 0-0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2TEAM 3TOTALS 25-58 7-21 11-16 37 22 68 11 12 3 3 200FG% 1st: 13-29 .448 2nd: 12-29 .414 Game: 25-58 .4313PT% 1st: 4-10 .400 2nd: 3-11 .273 Game: 7-21 .333FT% 1st: 6-6 1.000 2nd: 5-10 .500 Game: 11-16 .688

#25 - Youngstown State 70, Milwaukee 68YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (2.14.09) - Vytas Sulskis hit a 15-footer with 1.4 seconds remaining to give Youngstown State a 70-68 win over the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Saturday night at the Beeghly Center.

The Panthers had rallied from a nine-point deficit with 5:47 re-maining to take a 68-67 lead with 1:28 to play.

But, after a pair of empty possessions by Milwaukee and a single free throw from YSU, the Penguins got an offensive rebound from a Sulskis miss with 10 seconds remaining. YSU eventually got a timeout with just over four seconds to play and then ran a play off a sideline inbounds for the game-winner.

Sirlester Martin had 20 points to lead Youngstown State (10-15, 7-8 Horizon), which has won four-straight games. DeAndre Mays added 15 for the Penguins, who also beat Green Bay Thursday night.

James Eayrs had 19 points and 11 rebounds to lead Milwaukee (14-11, 9-6), which has dropped three-straight games. The Pan-thers also got 14 points from Ricky Franklin and 12 from Tone Boyle, though all of the points from those two players came in the first half.

#26 - Milwaukee 63, (21) Butler 60MILWAUKEE (2.18.09) - James Eayrs scored 15 points to lead three players in double figures and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee held off a late Butler rally to claim a 63-60 win over the 21st-ranked Bulldogs Wednesday at the U.S. Cellular Arena.

The Panthers (15-11, 10-6 Horizon) led by 13 points with 8:16 remaining but made just one field goal the rest of the way.

A single free throw by Ricky Franklin pushed the UWM lead to 63-60 with 5.9 seconds to play before Zach Hahn missed a 35-footer at the buzzer. As fans stormed the court, the officials first started to leave the court but eventually returned to the scorers’ table to review whether the clock started early on the Butler inbounds play. But, after viewing replays and discussing the matter on the court, the group declared the game over.

Avery Smith added 13 points, 10 rebounds and three steals for Mil-waukee, which claimed its first regular season win over a ranked team. Franklin pitched-in with 11 points and seven boards.

The Panthers eventually led 53-40 on a three by Eayrs with 9:22 remaining, and still led 57-44 when Smith made two free throws with 8:16 left. But, Milwaukee went cold from the field as Butler stormed back, eventually crawling within 61-60 on a three by Shelvin Mack with 1:36 remaining. Single free throws by Eayrs and Franklin gave UWM a 63-60 advantage before the last-second try by Hahn.

#29 - Milwaukee 68, Detroit 63DETROIT, Mich. (2.28.09) - Ricky Franklin scored 19 points and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee made 10 three-pointers as the Panthers wrapped up the regular season with a 68-63 win over Detroit Saturday afternoon at Calihan Hall.

Milwaukee used a 21-6 run to break the game open and then held off a late Detroit rally in snapping a six-game road losing streak. Jason Averkamp added 13 points off the bench while Tony Meier had 12 points and seven rebounds for Milwaukee (16-13, 11-7). Woody Payne scored 10 points to lead the Titans (7-22, 2-16).

UWM survived a sluggish first half to lead 32-27 at the break. In fact, Detroit scored 13 in a row to build an early 13-5 advantage, but Milwaukee countered with a 19-5 run to claim a 24-19 lead. Franklin had nine-straight points during the run, which was capped by a Deion James layin after an Avery Smith steal. The Titans did fight back to tie the game at 25, but five points from Averkamp helped spark a final run that gave UWM that five-point halftime advantage.

The Titans fought back to claim a two-point lead early in the sec-ond half. But, UWM took the lead for good at 44-42 on a basket by James Eayrs with just over 10 minutes to play. A jumper by Meier pushed the edge to 53-44 before a three-pointer from Franklin made it 56-44. A three by Averkamp then capped the run, giving Milwaukee a 61-48 advantage.

#31 - Wright State 80, Milwaukee 70INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (3.6.09) - Cory Cooperwood scored 14 points and Cooper Land added 13 as Wright State claimed an 80-70 win over the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Friday night in the second round of the Speedway Horizon League Men’s Basketball Championship at Hinkle Fieldhouse.

Wright State took control of the game with a 15-2 run to start the second half, with UWM never getting closer than seven points after that.

The Raiders (20-12) made 12-of-18 from three-point range and shot 53.2 percent overall in advancing to Saturday’s semifinal ac-tion against top-seeded Butler.

Avery Smith and Deonte Roberts scored 15 points apiece for Milwaukee (17-14), which rallied to tie the game at halftime but never got on track in the second half. Ricky Franklin and Jason Averkamp added 10 points apiece.

The Panthers trailed by as many as 14 points in the first half before fighting back. The Panthers ended the half on a 16-2 run, with a basket by Smith just before the horn brought Milwaukee into a 39-all tie. But, Wright State wasted little time in regaining control in the second half. Back-to-back three-pointers from Land made it 54-41 with 15:11 remaining and the Raiders eventually pushed their lead to 59-45 with 10 minutes to play. UWM would get no closer than seven points after that.

History and Tradition



100 • History and Tradition

From its birth in 1895, through its move from NCAA Division III to NCAA Division I competition, the UWM men’s basketball program has spawned plenty of success and countless memorable moments.

The early years of UWM basketball, when the school was actually known as the Wisconsin State Normal School and the Panthers were the “Normals,” saw the team post success against a wide variety of curi-ous opponents. Three seasons in those early years stand out. The 1911-12 and 1912-13 squads each posted 14-2 records under the direction of Emmett “Doc” Angeli, who actually left the University of Wis-consin-Madison to take over the program in Milwaukee. During those two years, the team lost just once in 11 games against state schools from Whitewater, Platteville, Oshkosh and LaCrosse. Then, during the 1914-15 season under first-year coach Bar-ney Anderson, the Normals won a record 15 games, including two wins against the Marquette Dentists College.

After leaving the school for two years, Anderson returned to lead the Normals to 11 wins during the 1923-24 season. That would be the last time the program would reach double figures in wins as the Wisconsin State Normal School.

The school name changed in 1927, as UWM would then be known as the Mil-waukee State Teachers College for the next 30 years. The nickname also changed, as the school colors of Green and White sparked the nickname “Green Gulls.”

The Green Gulls won 12 games under Guy Penwell during the 1935-36 season, and it was apparent Penwell had the program on the right track. Penwell led the Green Gulls to plus-.500 records for seven of the next eight seasons, including a perfect 16-0 record during the 1940-41 season. And, after the Gulls dipped to 10-12 in 1948-49, Penwell led his team to a 20-7 mark during the 1949-50 season. The 20 wins became a school record that would stand for nearly 40 years.

Russ Rebholz was next in line to coach the Green Gulls, and he was the coach in 1951 when the school name again changed to Wisconsin State College-Milwaukee. The

name would change again in 1956, as the school would be known as the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee from that point forward. The nickname also changed two more times. First, the school colors changed to Red and White as UWM became known as the “Cardinals” from 1956-65. Finally, in 1965, the colors changed to the current black and gold, and the nickname became “Panthers.”

If the “modern era” of UWM basketball began when the school officially became known as UWM, it was Rebholz who started the modern era with a bang. UWM was 17-4 during the 1958-59 season and 18-4 during the 1959-60 season. In 1960, UWM made its first-ever post-season ap-pearance, playing in an NCAA Regional Tournament in Wheaton, Ill., falling to Lincoln but beating Augustana for its first-ever post-season win.

The program moved through the 1960’s in above-average fashion, winning at least 14 games for five-straight seasons and finish-ing above .500 for nine-straight seasons into the early 1970’s.

The era of the 1970’s was marked by UWM’s first foray into NCAA Division I basketball. The Panthers spent seven sea-sons in Division I, playing what would best be described as a mixed schedule. UWM faced well-known big schools Tennessee, Cincinnati and Florida State while also

maintaining small-school rivalries with UW-Oshkosh, UW-River Falls, Lewis and others.

The move to Division I came for the 1973-74 campaign, right after Charles Parsley led UWM to 18 wins during the 1972-73 season. The short-lived Division I stay was highlighted by the 19 wins Bob Gottlieb helped the Panthers to in 1976-77. But after a 9-17 mark in the 1979-80 season, UWM dropped down to NCAA Division III play.

It didn’t take long for UWM to find success again, as UWM’s next post-season appear-ance came in the 1981-82 season, when UWM finished 20-6 under Bob Voight. The Panthers lost to Augustana on its home floor in an NCAA Division III Midwest Regional game, then bounced back to beat Beloit in the consolation game. During the mid-1980’s, UWM moved to the NAIA ranks briefly, falling to UW-Eau Claire 51-48 at Zorn Arena in Eau Claire in the NAIA District 14 Tournament.

Steve Antrim took over the Panther basket-ball program for the 1987-88 season, and some of the best years in UWM basketball history followed. Antrim helped the Pan-thers to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight during the 1988-89 season, as UWM won two games at the North Central Regional before falling to Southeast Missouri State two steps shy of a national championship. They finished 24-7 that season - then a school-record for victories - and recorded the highest-ever national finish for a Milwaukee men’s basketball team at any level.

UWM’s basketball history has included seven national postseason appearances. The 2005-06 berth into the NCAA Tour-nament capped a streak of four-straight Division I postseason appearance for the program. The 2003 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament bid marked a first Division I post-season appearance for the program, which had also appeared in the post-season in Divi-sion II and Division III play. UWM’s only postseason appearances as an NAIA school came on the district level.

Following that run, the transition to an NCAA Division I men’s basketball program was on. UWM finished 18-10 during its first full season of Division I play in 1990-91, then won 20 games the following sea-son. Still competing as an independent, the Panthers finished the 1992-93 season 23-4, but were left out of the postseason. That season was highlighted by UWM’s only win over the University of Wisconsin. The 1993-94 campaign was the program’s only year in the Mid-Continent Conference, and UWM made the move to the Midwestern Collegiate Conference in 1994. Ric Cobb replaced Antrim in 1995 before Bo Ryan was called upon in 1999 to restart the lag-ging program at UWM.

Ryan did just what was asked for, leading the Panthers to their first plus-.500 season in seven years when UWM finished 15-14 in 1999-2000. UWM won 15 more games the next season. But the growth was far from done. Under Bruce Pearl, who took over when Ryan left for Wisconsin fol-lowing the 2001-02 season, the Panthers made their first-ever NCAA Division I Tournament appearance after winning the Horizon League title.

A last-second loss to Notre Dame didn’t slow the Panthers’ momentum, though, as the success continued into the 2003-04 sea-son. The Panthers won the Horizon League regular season title and were selected for the National Invitation Tournament. Once in the NIT, UWM won its first-ever NCAA Division I postseason game, beating Rice at the U.S. Cellular Arena. The Panthers were then eliminated from the tournament three

nights later by Boise State, but the stage was set for an unprecedented run of success over the next two seasons.

In 2004-05, UWM went back to the NCAA Tournament after a thrilling Horizon League Tournament championship win. Once in the NCAAs, the Panthers pulled off upsets of Alabama and Boston College, launching the program into the national spotlight. The tournament run ended with a loss to top-ranked Illinois, but the Panthers finished the season with a school-record 26 wins and ranked 23rd in the nation in the ESPN/USA Today Top 25.

Bruce Pearl left to become the head coach at the University of Tennessee, but new coach Rob Jeter picked up right where Pearl left off. In 2005-06, UWM won 22 more games, advancing to the NCAA Tourna-ment for the third time in four seasons. In the tourney, the Panthers upset Oklahoma before bowing out to eventual national champion Florida in the second round. The Panthers then quickly starting rebuilding after the loss of seven seniors.

Aside from the success on the court, there are plenty of other signs that many great days for Panther basketball lie ahead. UWM has made a permanent move down-town and, with it, has set new attendance records annually. The Panthers’ season

ticket base continues to grow, plus UWM has enjoyed increased national exposure, expanding television and radio coverage, a competitive schedule and more. Milwaukee basketball has become known from coast-to-coast in the college basketball world.

Now, alumni, students and fans await the writing of the next chapter for what has become a highly-successful Division I program.

Adrian Tigert sank a free throw with 4.2 seconds left, giving the UWM a 59-58 win over Detroit in front of a sellout crowd of 10,783 at the U.S. Cellular Arena. The Panthers trailed most of the night and missed 11-of-24 free throws, including Tigert’s first free throw in the final seconds. But, after Milwaukee coach Bruce Pearl called a timeout and instructed the rest of the starters to set up on defense, Tigert stepped up to the line and calmly sank his second shot.

Ed McCants’ 18 points led the Panthers, who held Detroit scoreless over the final two minutes. Joah Tucker added 15 points and Boo Davis 12 for Milwaukee. Detroit’s Brandon Cotton missed a runner at the buzzer that would have won the game for UDM.

Detroit led 32-24 early in the second half, but the Panthers responded with three-straight 3-pointers to go ahead 33-32. McCants’ two free throws with 10:22 remaining capped the Panthers’ 17-4 run and gave Milwaukee a 41-36 lead. But the Titans came back with nine-straight points and the Panthers trailed until Tucker sank two free throws with 55 seconds left to tie it at 58.

Tournament MVP Clay Tucker scored 18 of his game-high 23 points in the first half in leading UWM to a 69-52 win over Butler, giving the Panthers their first-ever NCAA Division I Tournament berth.

Milwaukee scored the first 14 points on the night and never trailed in the game. Tucker scored seven of UWM’s first 14 points and 11 of the first 23 as the Panthers grabbed a 23-6 lead with 11:38 to play in the first half and Butler never got back in the game.

In addition to his 23 points, Tucker added a team-high eight rebounds to go with game-bests in assists (4), steals (4), and blocks (2). Ronnie Jones added 16 for UWM while Justin Lettenberger added eight points and six rebounds off the bench.

Milwaukee outrebounded Butler 40-30 on the game while outshooting the Bulldogs 48.1% to 40.8%. The Panthers connected on 5-of-18 from three-point land while holding Butler, the league’s leading three-point shooting team, to 5-of-21 from beyond the arc.

Boo Davis scored 18 points to lead a balanced University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee attack as the Panthers won the Horizon League Tournament and an automatic bid to NCAA Tournament with an 87-71 win over Butler at the U.S. Cellular Arena.

Milwaukee (21-8), which advanced to the Sweet 16 last season, will be making its third NCAA Tournament appearance in the last four years.

Joah Tucker added 15 points while tournament most valuable player Adrian Tigert contributed 14 points and nine rebounds as the Panthers took full advantage of their huge edge inside. Milwaukee outrebounded Butler, 40-24, and outscored the Bulldogs 56-24 in the paint.

The Panthers needed a number of contributors to step up after Tucker went to the bench with his fourth foul only 39 seconds into the second half. But Milwaukee continued to rely on its inside game and got key contributions from reserves Derrick Ford (seven points) and Mark Pancratz (six points).

Jason Frederick (top-2003), James Wright (middle-2005) and Chris Hill (bottom-2006) all won league championships and cut down the nets

18-4 Overall • NCAA Small College RegionalHead Coach: Russ Rebholz1959-60

The 1940-41 squad is still the only un-defeated team in the 110-year history of basketball at the school now known as the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. At that time, the school was known as the Milwaukee State Teachers College and the athletic teams were known as the Green Gulls.

UWM’s first-ever postseason tournament appearance came in the 1959-60 season, when the Panthers went to the NCAA Small College Regional.

During the 20-game regular season, UWM had just three blemishes on its record. After opening the season with six-straight wins by an average of more than 25 points per game, the Panthers fell to crosstown rival Marquette. But they quickly got back on track, beating Ball State to start a seven-game winning streak.

The seven-game burst included four key road wins in the Wisconsin State Col-legiate Conference, plus a home win over UW-Platteville that would go a long way toward helping the Panthers claim the conference title.

After a loss to UW-Whitewater, UWM won

The team won the Wisconsin State Teach-ers College Conference and hung on to its undefeated season with a thrilling 40-39 home victory over UW-Oshkosh in the final game of the regular season. While box scores, stats and other information from the era is sparse, Ken Buehler was the team’s leading scorer.

its next three contests before a one-point loss at Platteville. But, just two days later, the Panthers beat UW-Stevens Point, 73-70, to secure the regional berth.

In regional play, UWM fell to Lincoln (Ill.), 100-92, in the first contest. But, in those days, a consolation round was played. UWM bounced back in that round, claim-ing a 109-82 win over Augustana to earn the school’s first-ever postseason win at any level.

Jerry Grochowski, a UWM Athletic Hall of Famer and one of the top scorers in school history, was the star of the squad. He aver-aged 22.3 points and 12.2 rebounds per game, finishing second on the Wisconsin State University Conference in scoring. Dave Vincent also contributed 14.7 points and 5.0 rebounds per contest, one of five players with at least 100 rebounds.

First Round • March 5, 1982

UWM made its first-ever apperance in the NCAA Division III basketball Tournament with a roster that included 10 new players at the start of the season. The Panthers, who received an at-large bid into the tourna-ment, wound up falling to Augustana (Ill.) in the first round before bouncing back to beat Beloit College in the consolation game. They finished ranked 14th in NCAA Division III.

The star of the 1981-82 squad was Kevin Jones, a transfer from Laramie County Community College in Wyoming. Jones, who averaged 23.5 ppg in two post-season contests, finished the season averaging 25.4 ppg. He was one of three UWM players in double figures for the season, with Keith Rosser adding 18.4 ppg and Kerry Glover pitching in with 14.6 ppg.

The Panthers won their first seven games of the season before losing for the first time Dec. 28. UWM then rattled off five more wins and rose as high as ninth in the NCAA Division III rankings. After a brief slump, the Panthers claimed two key wins late in the regular season to secure a post-season berth.

NCAA Division I First RoundIndianapolis, Ind. • March 17, 2003

Picked in most places to win their first-ever Division I league title and earn a berth to the NCAA Tournament, the Panthers lived up to those lofty expectations. In fact, UWM’s first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division I Tournament exceeded expectations.

The path to the league title was a roller-coaster of emotions. On the final day of the regular season, Butler beat UWM, 76-74, on a three-point shot at the buzzer to snatch away the Panthers’ hopes of a regular-season crown. But, 10 days later in front of more than 10,000 fans in Milwau-kee, UWM earned revenge and the league tournament title with an impressive 69-52 win over those same Bulldogs.

So it was on to Indianapolis and the NCAA Tournament. The Panthers drew Notre Dame, ensuring the game would be one of the most-watched in the first round. And,

the game would be played in the RCA Dome, meaning it would be played in front of the largest crowd to ever see a UWM basketball game (21,250). Finally, there was the game itself, tight throughout and decided in the closing seconds.

UWM started the game slowly and actually trailed by seven late in the first half and, after rallying to tie the game at halftime, fell back down eight in the second half. But the Panthers scored the next 10 points to take the lead and, after back-to-back threes by Justin Lettenberger and Jason Frederick, UWM led 69-68 with 2:28 remaining.

The Irish took the lead back on a tip-in with 32.9 seconds remaining, leading the Panthers to hold for a final shot. That last chance saw Clay Tucker find Dylan Page clear inside, but Page’s short shot rolled off the rim as time expired, leaving the Pan-thers on the short end of a 70-69 final.

The National Invitation Tournament wasn’t the preferred postseason destination for the Panthers, but UWM made the most of the chance while they could. The NIT berth came about after the Panthers dropped a heartbreaking, 65-62, contest to UIC in the championship game of the Horizon League Tournament at the U.S. Cellular Arena.

UWM got the chance to put on a better show at home when they drew a home game with Rice to open the NIT. After falling down early, it was all Panthers in the contest, as UWM rolled to a 91-63 win over the Owls.

That win set a date with another Western Athletic Conference foe, Boise State, in Nampa, Idaho. In that contest, the Pan-thers trailed by as many as 16 points in the second half before pulling within one with 29 seconds left. But, two BSU free throws pushed the edge back to three and UWM could not score on its final possession.

It was simply a magical postseason run, and ironically it nearly never happened. Fans will remember the 2004-05 Panthers mak-ing their run to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament, and many will also remember sitting in the U.S. Cellular Arena, with the clock running down, and the Panthers on the short end of the score.

UWM would rally against Detroit in that league title game. Joah Tucker hit two free throws with under a minute left to tie the game, and Adrian Tigert then hit a single free throw with 4.2 seconds remaining to grab the lead. After Detroit missed a shot as the buzzer sounded, the Panthers had survived and were on to the NCAA Tournament.

It was a fitting way to continue what had already been one of the best seasons in school history. That was UWM’s 24th win

- tying a school record at the time - and the Panthers would wind up with 26. They claimed a win over Purdue - their first over a Big Ten foe since 1993. They won 11-straight games late in the year, and won 19 of their last 21 contests.

In league play, UWM lost only twice - an early-season home loss to Detroit and a road loss at in-state rival UW-Green Bay. The Panthers won their final six regular season league contests by an average of 13.7 points. Ed McCants earned Horizon League Player of the Year honors and was joined by Joah Tucker on the all-league first team. Tucker was then named the league tournament MVP. But, after winning the league tournament, the Panthers eagerly awaited their destination and opponent for the NCAA Tournament. When the draw was announced on CBS, the Panthers were one of the first teams posted. It was

Final ESPN/USA Today Top 25off to Cleveland and a first-round date with Alabama.

UWM’s game with Alabama was the first of the day in Cleveland, and it was clear from the start the Panthers weren’t planning to be the first team eliminated from the tour-nament. They used a 23-6 run in the first half to build a 13-point halftime lead. Then, every time the Crimson Tide made a run in the second half, UWM responded. The Panthers wound up forcing 19 turnovers and, when Ed McCants scored on a break-away dunk in the final minute, UWM knew it was advancing in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history.

Game two sent the Panthers against Big East champion Boston College, a team that had been ranked as high as second in the nation earlier in the season. BC threw the first punch, scoring the first 11 points of the game. But UWM recovered, building a four-point lead by halftime and then mak-ing key baskets throughout the second half. The Panthers’ defense also came through, forcing 22 turnovers. And, UWM made its free throws when it counted, converting on 20-of-22 charity attempts.

The win made the Panthers the biggest story in the city of Milwaukee and, for that matter, across the college basketball world. Adding to the story was the fact that UWM’s next opponent was Illinois, the top-

ranked team in the country. And, the game would be played just down the road from Milwaukee - in Illinois. Those factors, and a long-simmering rivalry between Illinois fans and UWM head coach Bruce Pearl, made the days leading up to the matchup a media circus. Once gameday finally ar-rived, the Panthers held their own with a team that would wind up being the national runner-up. UWM was within three points late in the first half and still within nine points at the four-minute timeout in the

second half. But, in the end, even a career-high 32 points from Joah Tucker wouldn’t be enough to keep the Panthers’ upset run alive.

NCAA Tournament Second RoundJacksonville, Fla. • March 18, 2006

Expectations were certainly high when the Panthers took the court for the 2005-06 season, but thanks to a stellar group of seniors and strong leadership from new head coach Rob Jeter, UWM again made noise on the national stage.

The season actually saw UWM drop two of its first three games, but the Panthers quickly recovered to win 11 of their next 12 outings. Included in the run was an impressive road sweep of Wyoming and Montana, as well as wins in the first five Horizon League games of the season.

The winning run ended with a loss on the road in Green Bay, but the Panthers bounced back to win their next four league games and stood 9-1 in league play heading into the month of February. UWM stumbled in road losses to Wright State and Butler, but bounced back with easy wins over Youngstown State and at Cleveland State to move to the brink of its third-straight league regular season title. But, senior Adrian Tigert was injured late in the Cleveland State contest, and without Tigert the Panthers suffered a home loss to UIC. UWM bounced back, though, to beat Detroit, which then knocked off Butler five days later, giving the Panthers the outright Horizon League title and hosting rights for

the Horizon League Championship.

With Tigert back in the lineup, the Pan-thers made it look easy en route to their third tournament title in four years. UWM bounced Loyola by 14 points and Butler by 16 to claim the crown and return to the NCAA Tournament.

UWM also again cleaned up when it came

time to distribute Horizon League post-season awards. Joah Tucker and Boo Davis each earned all-league first-team honors while Tigert was named to the second team. It marked the first time in school history the Panthers saw three players named to the all-league teams.

When the pairings for the NCAA Tourna-ment were announced, it was clear respect had arrived for UWM basketball. The Pan-thers earned a best-ever 11-seed and were sent to Jacksonville, Fla., for a matchup with Oklahoma of the Big 12.

After the successful run in the NCAA Tournament a year earlier, UWM became a popular pick to again pull off a first-round upset. But, even with those expectations on their shoulders, the Panthers put together a great performance in knocking off Okla-homa. In fact, UWM steadily built a lead in the second half and then consistently got to the free throw line down the stretch. The Panthers made 26-of-32 free throws and led by as many as 14 points in claiming an 82-74 win over the Sooners to advance to the second round. Davis led the way with 26 points while Tucker added 24.

Up next for UWM was Florida, which would be a daunting task on any floor in the country. But, with the game scheduled to be played in the state of Florida, the Pan-thers knew they were facing a road game on what would officially be considered a neutral court.

The Panthers hung in the contest early and were within eight points early in the second half. But the deep, athletic Gator squad proved too much for UWM, as Florida pulled away for an 82-60 win. Tigert did post a career night in his final game in a Panther uniform, collecting 27 points to go with eight rebounds.

Just as was the case the year before, UWM was eliminated by a team poised to make a deep run in the tournament. In fact, Florida never looked back after its win over UWM, rolling through four more contests on its way to a national title.

The tournament loss also brought to a close the career of seven UWM seniors. Tucker, Davis and Tigert were joined in the 2005-06 senior class by Chris Hill, Jason McCoy, Mark Pancratz and Derrick Ford.

The RiverWalk, which meanders through the heart of downtown, continues its devel-opment to the north and south. Fine food, cultural venues, eclectic shops, exciting nightlife and a wide array of distinctive sports bars are located along the River-Walk. Also prevalent along the RiverWalk

are many brewpubs and microbreweries. Gondolas and water taxies frequently travel Milwaukee’s scenic RiverWalk area.

The Historic Third Ward is quickly becom-ing the “off-Broadway” of Milwaukee’s arts scene. It is home to the new Broadway Theatre Center as well as another, smaller, experimental theatre. In addition, this restored warehouse district features a number of art galleries, the well-regarded Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, coffee houses, cafes and antique stores. An abundance of new housing in the form of loft-style apartments and condominiums are also becoming a part of the landscape in the area.

Milwaukee’s museum scene is also active. The Milwaukee Art Museum wrapped up a $100 million expansion a few years ago, featuring a dramatic wing-like sculpture rising high above Milwaukee’s lakefront. The Milwaukee Public Museum includes a number of nationally-reknowned exhibits and an IMAX Theater. Plus, the Milwaukee County Zoo is well-known as one of the finest in the nation.

Milwaukee also loves its sports. The city put its stamp on Major League Baseball with the arrival of Miller Park in the spring of 2001. The $400 million, one-of-a-kind ballpark features a convertible roof and natural grass. Offering the finest in ballpark amenities, Miller Park includes places to tailgate along the Menomonee River and a pair of restaurants. Miller Park also played

host to the Major League All-Star Game in 2002 and has hosted concerts and other special events.

Two of the city’s other professional sports teams, including the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks, play at the downtown Bradley Center. In addition, the U.S. Cellular Arena downtown is the home of the UWM men’s basketball team, as well as the Milwaukee Wave of the Major Indoor Soccer League. The arena has undergone major renova-tions and also hosts a number of concerts and other special events.

The sports landscape also includes one of the best county park systems in the nation and an annual PGA Tour event in suburban Brown Deer. The 2005 PGA Championship was held in Kohler, just one hour north of Milwaukee, and the 2010 PGA Champion-ship will return to the course next August. The 2007 Senior PGA Championship was also in Kohler.

Milwaukee is also a tourist and business destination for travelers around the state and nation. The Midwest Express Center downtown serves as the city’s main conven-tion center and draws groups from around the world to host their annual activities in Milwaukee.

Milwaukee is also easy to get to, located at the intersections of interstates 94 and 43. Milwaukee’s Mitchell International Airport has nearly 20 airlines with over 400 daily departures and arrivals.Milwaukee’s Summerfest

Carlos E. Santiago is beginning his sixth academic year as the Chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Santiago is UWM’s seventh Chancellor. In this position, he is the chief administrative officer of the university and a partner with a great number of constituents on and off campus.

Chancellor Santiago also holds the aca-demic rank of Professor of Economics at UWM. As a labor economist, he has regional expertise in the Caribbean and Central America, with special emphasis on Puerto Rico.

Cooperation and collaboration to strength-en UW-Milwaukee’s research portfolio, academic excellence and diversity have been the highest priorities of Chancellor Santiago since his arrival on July 1, 2004. Among the primary results that UWM has achieved during his tenure:

• Securing a historic reinvestment by the State of Wisconsin in the university’s and Southeastern Wisconsin’s future, espe-cially in the targeted areas of advanced au-tomation, biomedical engineering, health care and freshwater science.

• Completing the record-setting Campaign for UWM, the most ambitious fund-rais-ing effort in university history.

• Developing Access to Success, the cam-pus blueprint to enhance access to higher education while promoting greater suc-cess for all students.

• Initiating a master planning process to create a template for regional growth away from the university’s extremely com-pressed primary campus.

• Creating the UWM Research Founda-tion to support research and innovation, and the UWM Real Estate Foundation to partner with the public and private sec-

tors to develop and hold real estate for the university’s benefit.

Santiago also has a strong background in working with athletics.

With the University at Albany, State Uni-versity of New York, where he held the position of Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Santiago was a member of its National Collegiate Athletic Asso-ciation Certification Steering Committee, worked closely with the athletics depart-ment on academics and admissions-relat-ed issues, and was involved with the New York Giants annual National Football League summer training camp held at the University at Albany.

“Universities must focus on creating the scholar-athlete,” Chancellor Santiago said. “Winning is nice, but first and foremost you must focus on the academics. UWM’s consistent performance -- in both winning championships and placing leading num-bers of students on the Horizon League’s Academic Honor Roll -- demonstrates our commitment to both of these objectives.”

Dr. Santiago is the author or co-author of five books focusing on labor and econom-ic development issues, with the latest be-ing “Puerto Ricans in the United States: A Contemporary Portrait,” co-authored with Edna Acosta-Belén. He has co-edited an-other book and has published more than 30 articles and book reviews in a wide va-riety of scholarly journals.

Along with Dr. Acosta-Belén, Dr. Santiago also is a founding co-editor of the Latino Research Review and was a member of the U.S. Congressional Hispanic Caucus International Relations Advisory Group.

Dr. Santiago’s wife, Azara Santiago-Rivera, is also part of the faculty at UWM. She is an associate professor of educational psy-chology in the School of Education.

Chancellor Santiago has a Ph.D. in eco-nomics from Cornell University (‘82) and M.A. degrees in economics from Cornell University (‘79) and the University of Puerto Rico (‘75).

Like most other boys growing up in Puerto Rico, Dr. Santiago played baseball year-round and aspired to follow national heroes Roberto Clemente and Orlando Cepeda to Major League Baseball. Dr. Santiago played third base throughout high school and earned a place on his di-vision’s all-star team.

In recent years, his sporting interests have included golf, tennis, downhill skiing, walking and jogging. He also helped coach softball teams for his daughters.

George Koonce is the new Director of Athletics at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

Koonce comes to UWM from Marquette University, where he served as a Senior Associate Athletic Director.

He was named to the post on March 17 and officially took over in mid-April. Koonce spent nine seasons as a player in the National Football League, eight of those coming as a starter with the Green Bay Packers. While in Green Bay, he helped the Packers win their first Super Bowl championship in 29 years.

He also spent a season as a player with the Seattle Seahawks before working as the special assistant to the athletic director at East Carolina University and as the direc-tor of player development with the Pack-ers.

In his most recent position at Marquette, Koonce was primarily involved with fund-raising, community relations and student welfare. He also served as the sport admin-istrator for the women’s soccer program.

“I have every confidence that the experi-ence and familiarity George Koonce has with Milwaukee and Wisconsin fans will greatly benefit the UWM Panthers,” UWM Chancellor Carlos Santiago said when an-nouncing the hiring of Koonce. “His en-ergy and enthusiasm will further elevate a strong program built by outgoing director Bud Haidet and his excellent staff.”

“I am humbled and thankful for the op-portunity to lead an athletic program that has the background and tradition this program has,” Koonce said. “This is a great opportunity for me and my family, but with opportunity comes accountabil-ity and responsibility. I welcome the chal-lenge of doing my part to help not only the athletic department but the University as

a whole. I truly believe in athletics being integrated into the University and in the University becoming an active part of the athletic program. I think it is a perfect fit and I am eager to get started.”

Koonce’s wide-ranging experiences in-clude a stint as the director of player de-velopment in Green Bay. In that role, he assisted players in adjusting to life on and off the field in the NFL.

After a successful college football career at East Carolina, Koonce returned to the school as the special assistant to the ath-letic director in December of 2003. While at ECU, he was extensively involved in spe-cial fundraising projects, including raising $1 million for the basketball program and over $5 million for football practice fa-cilities, meeting rooms and renovations of the academic center. He also earned a master’s degree in sports management from the school in 2006.

His variety of experiences – those as a collegiate and professional athlete as well as those as a director of and resource for those athletes – have helped him hone a very succinct and direct message for the mission of the UWM athletic department under his watch.

“Our concern is the student-athlete,” Koonce said. “We have to put an empha-sis on making sure we have the proper resources and programs in place so they can be successful on the field and off the

court. That extends into the community, where we have to make sure we not only integrate them into the campus setting but into greater Milwaukee.”

Koonce’s NFL career included 720 career tackles (447 solo), nine sacks, one forced fumble, five fumble recoveries and five in-terceptions, two of which he returned for touchdowns.

In all, he played in 128 NFL games, mak-ing 118 starts between his eight years in Green Bay and one season in Seattle.

He has been widely recognized for his ath-letic accomplishments, earning enshrine-ment in four different halls of fame.

Koonce was inducted into the National Junior College Hall of Fame in 2000 before also earning a place in the East Carolina University Athletic Hall of Fame 2002, the Chowan College Athletic Hall of Fame in 2003 and West Craven (NC) High School Athletic Hall of Fame in 2005.

Koonce is also currently pursuing his in-terdisciplinary Ph.D. in sports administra-tion at Marquette.

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee has moved itself into a prominent position both regionally and nationally in the world of intercollegiate athletics.

In fact, UWM has consistently shown it is the top athletic program in the Horizon League. The school has won the league’s McCafferty Trophy five times in the last nine years, including a stretch of three-straight victories from 2003-04 to 2005-06. UWM has also won the women’s all-sports awards eight times and the men’s all-sports award three times.

The 2008-09 was another banner one for Panther sports, with the year capped by the claiming of another McCafferty Trophy. In the fall, UWM’s volleyball and women’s soccer teams each won Horizon League regular season and tournament titles, with both squads advancing to the NCAA Tournament. Then, later in the year, the men’s track and field team captured both the indoor and outdoor league titles. Plus, the women’s track and field won the indoor team title, bringing to 33 the number of team track titles UWM has won since 1998. The women’s cross country and women’s swimming and diving teams each captured second-place finishes.

But the 2008-09 season was far from the first successful one for Panther athletics. In 2007-08, UWM captured four league team titles and three second-place finishes. The women’s soccer and volleyball squads each won regular season crowns while the men’s track and field team again swept the indoor and outdoor titles.

In 2006-07, UWM teams won seven league titles while a number of individuals also claimed league crowns. The success started in the fall as both the women’s soccer and women’s volleyball teams won the league regular season crown, with the volleyball squad also capturing the league tourney title. Both teams advanced to the NCAA Tournament, where the women’s soccer team moved to the second round for the second-straight season. UWM also swept the track and field titles, with both the men and the women claiming indoor and outdoor championships.

In 2005-06, UWM saw both of its soccer teams win league titles and advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, while the men’s and women’s basketball teams also played in the NCAA Tourney. The men again caught the eyes of the na-tion with a win over Oklahoma in the first round before being eliminated by eventual national champion Florida in the second round.

The men’s basketball team also helped put UWM athletics on the national map in 2004-05. UWM pulled off upset wins over Alabama and Boston College to advance to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. The Panthers were eventually eliminated from the tournament by national runner-up Illinois, but UWM had already captured the hearts and minds of the nation’s college basketball fans.

You have to go even further back to find the true start of the great run of success at UWM. In the 2002-03 season, UWM won five league titles and sent four teams to NCAA Tourmament play. The Panther men’s soccer team was ranked as high as eighth in the nation and the men’s basket-ball team made its first NCAA Tourna-ment appearance. UWM’s first McCafferty

Trophy came after the Panthers won nine league titles in the 2000-01 school year.

UWM student-athletes have also become known for their work in the classroom. This past spring, 81 student-athletes were named to the Horizon League Academic Honor Roll. UWM student-athletes also regularly appear on the league’s academic all-league teams and the cumulative grade-point average for the athletic department consistently is above 3.0, with a 3.119 cumulative GPA the mark as of this past June.

Quality facilities are also a part of the ath-letic scene at UWM. The new Pavilion, an addition to the Klotsche Center, opened in January of 2006 and now houses all of the athletics offices, as well as new locker rooms, team rooms, training rooms, weight rooms and an academic center. The facility, which also includes a tremendous amount of space for the general student population, rates as one of the best athletic office and workout facilities in the Horizon League.

The project also included a renovation of the 5,000-seat Klotsche Center, which is home to the women’s volleyball, women’s basketball and track and field teams. The facility now has air conditioning and a new sound system, as well as two new concession stands. Plus, with it standing adjacent to the new Pavilion, fans attending events can park in the Pavilion’s new park-

ing garage and attend events without ever stepping outside. The swimming and diving teams have their own pool in the Klotsche Center, located on the lower level.

UWM’s men’s basketball team has played at the U.S. Cellular Arena in downtown Milwaukee since the 2003 Horizon League Tournament. The move downtown has been a successful one, with attendance records set each season the Panthers have played in the historic building.

Meanwhile, UWM’s other recent facility improvements have come at the soccer and baseball fields. On-campus Engelmann Field, home of the Panther men’s and women’s soccer teams, is reknowned to be one of the best collegiate soccer facilities in the country. Lights were added to the field two summers ago, and a new team room has also been developed. The baseball team plays at Henry Aaron Field and also plays a doubleheader annually at Miller Park. Extensive work on the field, fencing and dugouts has been completed over the last few years, with a new scoreboard added to the facility in 2008.

Athletics has a long history at UWM. Some sports records date back to the late 1800’s and UWM fielded a football team until 1974. UWM has played on all levels of NCAA competition, including stints as a Division II and Division III institution along with its current run in Division I.

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s Athletic Department is committed to enhancing the opportunities of academic, athletic and personal success of every student-athlete. As part of UWM’s commitment, a partnership has been created between the aca-demic and athletic communities on campus to give all student-athletes an opportunity to achieve academic success.

UWM has had a full-time athletic academic advisor since 1998, and recently added a second staff member dedicated to academ-ics, reinforcing its commitment to its student-athletes’ academic success. All new student-athletes meet with their advisor on an individual basis to assess specific needs. Programs for academic advancement are developed, including monitoring courses, grades and academic progress.

UWM’s commitment has paid off. The Panthers have regularly had more student-athletes on the Horizon League Honor Roll than any other league school, and the department’s cumulative grade-point average is better-than-3.0.

The Academic Assistance Center, located in the new Pavilion, provides student-athletes with a quiet place to study, as well as one-on-one tutoring opportunities. The academic center also houses a full computer lab and numerous tutoring rooms, and provides a closely-monitored atmosphere for studying and aca-demic progress.

• Priority Registration - Academic Monitoring Student-athletes receive priority when registering for classes. Aca-demic advisors provide ongoing assistance with class scheduling and career planning. Progress reports from the professors of each student-athlete are sought periodically throughout the year, and academic progress is monitored regularly.

• TutorsIndividuals and group tutors are available in all subjects to student-athletes upon request. The new Pavilion has private tutoring and study rooms for student-athletes.

• Structured StudyAll freshmen are required to attend study table for eight hours per week. Students meet Monday through Thursday for two hours per night and are monitored by a member of the coaching staff. Upperclassmen with a cumulative grade point average of less than 3.0 are also required to attend, however their hours are pro-rated based on their GPA.

• Post-Graduate OpportunitiesUWM boasts a 95 percent job placement rate through the on-cam-pus Career Development Center. Approximately 200 employers interview on-campus each year. Workshops are offered to assist student-athletes in planning their career paths. Numerous intern-ships and job opportunities are available in the metro Milwaukee area, the business and economic center of Wisconsin.

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is a member of the NCAA CHAMPS/Life Skills Program. The mission of the NCAA and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is to maintain intercollegiate athletics as an integral part of the campus educational program and the student-athlete as an integral part of the student body. With this in mind, the UWM program, “SUCCESS,” was created to support student-athlete development and to enhance the quality of the student-athlete experience within the university setting. Student-Athletes United for Commitment to Excellence Challenges Education Service to Community and Skills for Life

The life skills program includes five major commitments: • Commitment to Academic Excellence – to support the academic progress of the student-athlete toward intellectual development and graduation.• Commitment to Athletic Excellence – to build philosophi-cal foundations for the development of athletic programs that are broad-based, equitable and dedicated to the well-being of the student-athlete.• Commitment to Personal Development – to support the development of a well-balanced lifestyle for student-athletes, encouraging emotional well-being, personal growth and deci-sion-making skills.• Commitment to Career Development – to encourage the student-athlete to develop and pursue career and life goals.• Commitment to Service – to engage the student-athlete in service to his/her campus and surrounding communities.

As participants in the CHAMPS/Life Skills Program, numerous UWM student-athletes have been chosen to participate in the NCAA Foundation Leadership Conference. Men’s basketball player Kalombo Kadima was chosen to be a part of the confer-ence in 2000, while Dan Weisse took part in the conference in 2001. Three women’s soccer players from UWM - Fanta Cooper in 1999, Erin Blaedow in 2000 and Erin Shaugnessy in 2003 - have also taken part in the conference, as has Chris Dadaian of the men’s soccer team in 2004. Then, Natalie Chery of the volleyball team was a conference attendee this spring. The NCAA Foundation Leadership Conference is one of the largest noncompetitive gatherings of student-athletes repre-senting NCAA Divisions I, II and III. The participating student-athletes are selected from more than 1,000 nominations that were submitted by member institutions that participate in the NCAA’s CHAMPS/Life Skills Program.

Criteria for selection to the leadership conference include the student-athletes’ demonstrated ability and strong desire to be a leader and potential to benefit significantly from a leadership-development experience.

Entering its 31st season of operation in the 2009-10 academic year, the Horizon League continues to aspire toward its goal of being one of the nation’s leading athlet-ics conferences while being recognized as a leader in the development of student-athletes as leaders and role models.

The Horizon League membership features 10 public and private institutions that have impressive academic reputations and a storied tradition of broad-based athletic programs. Current membership includes Butler University, Cleveland State Univer-sity, the University of Detroit Mercy, the University of Illinois at Chicago, Loyola University Chicago, Valparaiso University, the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Wright State University and Youngstown State University.

The Horizon League’s primary focus is on adding value to the educational experi-ence through its four platforms: athletic performance, academic achievement, community outreach, and personal re-sponsibility and accountability. It is the League’s belief that athletics is a powerful and visible resource tool that can be used to enhance student-athletes’ collegiate experience. The Horizon League’s goals are to enhance the holistic university ex-perience for the student-athlete, to create an affiliation of institutions with similar athletic goals, and to adhere to the princi-pals of integrity, diversity, excellence and growth.

The Horizon League sponsors competition in 19 sports – nine for men (baseball, bas-ketball, cross country, golf, soccer, swim-ming and diving, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field and tennis) and ten for women (basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, swimming and div-ing, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, tennis and volleyball).

The League receives automatic bids to NCAA championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, women’s volleyball, and for the first time in League history, wom-en’s golf.

The Horizon League is headquartered in Indianapolis, the “Amateur Sports Capi-tal of the World,” with offices in the Pan American Plaza (201 S. Capitol Avenue), located a block from Lucas Oil Stadium and just minutes from Conseco Field-house, the State Capitol Building, Victory Field (home of the Indianapolis Indians) and the NCAA national office.

• HistoryFounded on June 16, 1979, as the Mid-western City Conference with six charter members, the League changed its name to the Midwestern Collegiate Conference in 1985 and added women’s sports for the 1986-87 academic year. Charter mem-bers of the conference included current members Butler and Loyola as well as the University of Evansville, Oklahoma City University, Oral Roberts University and Xavier University.

Among other current members, Detroit joined in 1980, and Cleveland State, UIC, Green Bay, Milwaukee and Wright State came aboard in 1994 (along with North-ern Illinois University) in the largest non-merger conference expansion in history. Youngstown State joining in 2001 and Valparaiso in 2007.

On June 4, 2001, the Horizon League un-veiled its current name and ushered in a new dynamic direction that has brought the League closer to its stated goal of be-ing one of the nation’s top ten collegiate athletic conferences with a focus on en-hancing the student-athletes’ experience by upgrading the League’s market and competitive positions. • Athletic SuccessIn the past few years, the Horizon League

164 • This Is UWM


2005 NCAA Sweet 162006 NCAA Second Round Basketballhas enjoyed unprecedented success on the national stage, highlighted by three Sweet Sixteen appearances (Butler 2003, 2007; Milwaukee 2005) and nine wins in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship in the past seven seasons.

In other sports, League teams have won at least one game in their respective NCAA Championships each of the last seven sea-sons in men’s soccer (Milwaukee 2002-05, UIC 2006-08), with UIC just one win away from the College Cup in 2007. In softball, League teams won a game in the national tournament four straight years earlier in the decade (UIC 2002, 2004; Wright State 2003; Green Bay 2005) while advancing into the second round in women’s soccer three of the last five seasons (Detroit 2004, Milwaukee 2005-06).

Green Bay’s women’s basketball team added to that résumé with a victory in the 2007 NCAA Women’s Basketball Cham-pionship. Butler’s Victoria Mitchell be-came the League’s first NCAA individual champion when she won the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the 2005 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. • Academic SuccessHorizon League student-athletes also ex-cel in the classroom as more than 500 have been named to the Academic Honor Roll each of the past seven semesters for carry-ing a grade-point average of 3.2 or better, including more than 600 for the last four semesters. Twenty-five student-athletes were named to ESPN The Magazine/Co-SIDA Academic All-District teams in 2008-09, while eight earned Academic All-America honors.

• Community ServiceIn addition to its athletics success, the Ho-rizon League has secured a well-earned reputation for its community service initia-tives. Each January, member institutions partner with local elementary schools for an art, music and essay contest highlight-ing the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with winners recognized at League games on the weekend of MLK Day. In addition, several League men’s basketball coaches coached barefoot to support Samaritan’s Feet, and the League’s schools and fans

donate to Komen for the Cure for breast cancer awareness during its annual wom-en’s basketball championship.

The Horizon League Student-Athlete Ad-visory Committee (SAAC) also has con-tinued a tradition of working with youth in Indianapolis during its annual summer meeting. On campus, student-athletes have raised money and awareness for such causes as breast cancer, diabetes and hur-ricane relief, while hosting blood drives, neighborhood clean-ups, Big Brother/Big Sister programs and more. • DemographicsHorizon League institutions boast a com-bined enrollment of more than 130,000 plus nearly a quarter-million living alum-ni centered in the League’s Midwest foot-print. League media markets include five of the nation’s top 35 in Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Indianapolis and Milwaukee, covering more than ten million television households and encompassing more than nine percent of the nation’s television au-dience.

• GovernanaceThe Horizon League is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of the ten member institutions’ chief executive of-ficers. Dr. David Sweet, President of Youngstown State, serves as Board Chair through June 30, 2010. Ron Strollo, Exec-utive Director of Intercollegiate Athletics at Youngstown State, serves as chair of the Executive Council, and Christine Moeller, Assistant Athletic Director/Senior Wom-

an Administrator at Cleveland State, is the Vice Chair and Sheila Patterson of Cleve-land State serves as chair of the Faculty Athletics Representatives.

• LeadershipJonathan B. (Jon) LeCrone is in his 18th year as Commissioner of the Horizon League, having been named to the posi-tion on May 11, 1992, and is the fifth-lon-gest tenured commissioner among the 31 Division I conferences. He is the fifth commissioner in League history, succeed-ing Daniel B. “Tucker” DiEdwardo (1989-92), James W. Shaffer (1984-89), Cecil N. Coleman (1980-84) and James J. McCaf-ferty (1979-80). LeCrone is in the second year of a four-year term on the NCAA Division I Leadership Council after com-pleting a five-year term on the Division I Men’s Basketball Committee. • VisibilityThe Horizon League has enhanced its me-dia visibility with a number of initiatives. The League is in a five-year agreement with ESPN that includes selected regular-season men’s basketball action (ESPN2) and the men’s championship game (ESPN) and features increased exposures each year on ESPNU plus inclusion in the annual O’Reilly ESPNU BracketBusters, one of college basketball’s premier in-season events.

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is proud to call the his-toric U.S. Cellular Arena its home for men’s basketball.

The University and the Wisconsin Center District are involved a multi-year agreement to allow the Panthers to play at the Arena, which has hosted some of the most memorable basketball events in Milwaukee history.

The Panthers played all of their exhibition, regular season and postseason games at the Arena over the last four seasons, and will do so until at least 2011-12 thanks to a new five-year agreement signed in the summer of 2007.

Until playing nine of its 12 regular season games downtown in 2003-04, UWM had not called the U.S. Cellular Arena its perma-nent home since the 1997-98 season. But the return downtown was sparked by a highly-successful 2003 Horizon League Men’s Basketball Tournament. After drawing more than 7,000 fans for the semifinal round, UWM drew a then-record 10,115 for the title-game win over Butler.

Since that time, UWM has played a number of memorable games at The Arena, including league title games in 2004, 2005 and 2006. UWM has also hosted Wisconsin, Washington State and UAB, Saint Louis and Hawai’i in non-league games at The Cell, while also hosting a postseason National Invitation Tournament contest in 2004.

The Arena continues to become even more of a homecourt advan-tage for the Panthers. The Arena floor was repainted in 2008, with a large Milwaukee logo now prominent at center court. A number of other improvements are in progress at The Cell, all designed to give the arena a more intimate atmosphere during games.

The homecourt feel of the arena has grown tremendously over the last five years. In fact, when UWM first moved back downtown in 2003, the floor had been blue with no team-specific markings or logos.

It is all part of the commitment made by the Wisconsin Center District, which runs the U.S. Cellular Arena and the adjacent Midwest Airlines Center and Milwaukee Theater, to having UWM basketball call the Arena home.

“We are proud to host the UWM Panthers at the U.S. Cellular Arena,” Dick Geyer, president and CEO of the Wisconsin Center District, said. “The team has established itself as a major Division I college basketball program and as such, they need a home court to reflect that prominence.”

The Panthers actually have a fairly extensive history at the Arena,

which has also been known as the MECCA and the Wisconsin Center District Arena over the years.

UWM moved its schedule downtown for the 1992-93 season, two years after returning to the Division I ranks, and proceeded to win all 12 of its home games that season while drawing more than 8,000 fans for a contest with Green Bay. UWM continued to play its games at the Arena through the 1997-98 campaign before moving back to the on-campus Klotsche Center for the next five seasons.

The storied building, originally built in 1950 and also currently the home for indoor soccer’s Milwaukee Wave, has been the home to the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks. In fact, the Bucks played their first game at the Arena on Oct. 16, 1968, falling to the Chicago Bulls, 89-84, in front of 8,468 fans. Just four years later, the Bucks were celebrating playing in the NBA Finals at the Arena, claiming the 1971 NBA title. The Bucks called the Arena home until 1988, when they moved across the street to the Bradley Center.

Marquette and coaching legends Hank Raymond and Al McGuire also called the Arena home during some of its finest moments. Then the Warriors, Marquette won the 1977 National Champion-ship after playing in the 1974 Final Four. Now the Golden Eagles, Marquette has also played at the Bradley Center since 1988.

Since those days, the building has undergone extensive renova-tions in recent seasons and ranks as one of the finest facilities in the Horizon League. The Arena provides a number of amenities for players, media and fans that make it a first-class college bas-ketball venue.

With no obstructed-view seats, the Arena’s configuration puts every patron close to the action and the Arena is well-known for being spectator-friendly. $10.5 million in renovations to the U.S. Cellular Arena were completed in 1998. These include a new video scoreboard, totally-refurbished seats, improved access for people with disabilities, wider concourses, improved concession stands, new floors and finishes, new catwalks, better lighting and improved HVAC.

In 2000, ice-making ability was restored, and bold new outdoor lighting, signage and electronic messaging systems were added. More recently, construction of a new, outdoor, public promenade alongside the building - the Wisconsin Athletic Walk of Fame - was completed.

A new media room provides ample work-space for members of the media before, during and after events, and the area

rates as the best media-services area in the Horizon League. Plus, the renovated home locker room is truly a home away from home for the Panthers, including large wood lockers, a television, a separate coaches’ room and a training room.

UWM has also put its own touches on the basketball setup at the Arena. Courtside seating provides some fans an up-close look at the action, with a second row of court-side seats debuting in 2006-07. Plus, UWM has also set up a VIP pregame and halftime reception area in the south end zone, giving fans a close-by location to purchase bever-ages and mingle before the game.

The Panthers have played a total of 191 games as the home team at the Arena, com-piling a 115-76 mark. They have won 57 of their 74 contests downtown since returning for the 2002-03 post-season. UWM has also played Marquette a handful of times as the road team at the Arena.

The U.S. Cellular Arena is a major sports and entertainment venue in downtown Milwaukee. The facility was built in 1950 and has regularly been home to some of the greatest events in Milwaukee history.

With no obstructed-view seats, the Arena’s configuration puts every patron close to the action; it enjoys a reputation as highly-conducive to spectator excitement. It has hosted col-lege and professional basketball, hockey, circuses, concerts, motorsports, banquets, ceremonies and assemblies, including UWM’s commencement.

$10.5 million in renovations to the U.S. Cellular Arena were completed in 1998. These include a new video scoreboard, totally-refurbished seats, improved access for people with dis-abilities, wider concourses, improved concession stands, new floors and finishes, new catwalks, better lighting and improved HVAC - an all-around superior environment for both patron and show needs.

In 2000, ice-making ability was restored, and bold new outdoor lighting, signage and electronic messaging systems were added. More recently, construction of a new, outdoor, public prom-enade alongside the building - the Wisconsin Athletic Walk of Fame - was completed. A new basketball floor was acquired in late 2001 and dasherboards were added three summers ago when the U.S. Cellular Arena became the new home of the Milwaukee Wave.

The U.S. Cellular Arena is part of the Wisconsin Center Dis-trict, which also includes the Midwest Express Center and the new Milwaukee Theater. A $42 million project has turned the old Milwaukee Auditorium into the theater, which seats 4,100 people and is one of the premier theatrical and concert venues in the Midwest.

2005 NCAA Sweet 162006 NCAA Second Round BasketballThe J. Martin Klotsche Center is the prac-tice home of the Panthers.

The UWM men’s basketball team actually played a number of its home games in the facility throughout the 1980’s and early 1990’s, as well as from 1998-2003. Now, in addition to serving as a homecourt for a number of UWM teams, the building is the regular practice facility for the Panther men.

When it was the homecourt for the Pan-thers, it became an intensely difficult place for opponents to play. In fact, UWM won its last 16 regular-season games at the Klotsche Center, and won 43 of its final 52 games played in the building.

As a practice facility for the Panthers, it provides eight baskets near the main court. Side courts can also be used for extra shoot-ing practice or other drills while another team’s practice is taking place on the main court. Plus, the arena is located on the same level as the men’s basketball team room and locker room in the Pavilion, meaning the team is just steps away from its locker room during all practices.

The Klotsche Center, originally erected in 1977, has an even greater new look after a new floor was installed last summer. The floor features a large Panther logo at midcourt and a number of other UWM and Horizon League markings. This comes of the heels of a renovation that was com-pleted while the Pavilion was built. The existing arena now has air conditioning, a new sound system and new concession areas. Fans attending events at the Klotsche Center can park in the Pavilion parking garage and enter the building without ever going outside.

These latest projects are just the most recent pieces of work done to upgrade the home of Panther athletics. The arena area was also renovated prior to the 1998-99 school year. The $2 million project included the addition of comfort and chairback seat-ing. In 1996, new wood flooring and a new indoor track were added to the Klotsche Center.

The Klotsche Center can hold as many as 5,000 spectators for a sporting event, and the largest crowd to ever see a sporting

event at the Klotsche Center is 5,015, pres-ent when the UWM men’s basketball team faced Butler in 2002.

The Klotsche Center is the homecourt for volleyball and women’s basketball while a four-lane indoor track, added in 1996, is home to the UWM men’s and women’s track and field teams. The Klotsche Center Natatorium, located on the lower level, is home to the UWM swimming and div-ing teams. The building also still contains space for the general student population, with locker rooms, racquetball courts and classroom space on the lower level. The building also contains offices for the recreation staff.

The Klotsche Center has been home to a number of league championship events, including the semifinals and finals of the 2006 Horizon League Women’s Basketball Championship. The arena has also been home to a number of area high school play-off events. In August of 2002, the Klotsche Center played host to a game involving the Yugoslavian National Basketball team and NBA superstar Vlade Divac. The team wound up winning the World Basketball Championships the next month. The arena also played host to an appearance by Presi-dent George W. Bush in August of 2002.

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s newest on-campus building is the Pavilion, which is the home of UWM Athletics.

The Pavilion officially opened its doors to the public in January of 2006, though some work on the structure and the adjacent grounds continued throughout the year. The building was offi-cially dedicated by Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle and UWM Chancellor Carlos Santiago on May 2, 2006.

Among the athletics facilities in the building are offices for coaches and staff, a student-athlete-only weight room, new lock-er rooms for all teams and team rooms and lounges for men’s basketball, women’s basketball and women’s volleyball. The UWM Ticket Office is also located just off the main entrance of the Pavilion, providing easy access for those on campus as well as for the general public.

UWM student-athletes are also benefitting from the brand-new sports medicine center in the Pavilion, which more than triples the previous space available for UWM’s athletic trainers. The fa-cility also includes a 2,800-square-foot academic assistance cen-ter to help student-athletes in the classroom. The new academic center includes a computer lab along with group and individual study and tutoring rooms. A 618-space indoor parking garage is also part of the facility.

UWM’s general student population is also benefitting tremen-dously from the new facility. A new fitness center has expan-sive rooms for cardio workouts, as well as a weight room. The state-of-the-art area is the most visible from the outside of the facility, as it features two levels of windows. The new recreation center has two expansive levels and houses four sport courts sur-rounded by a suspended 1/8 mile track. The facility is utilized by individuals seeking open gym space, run and walk space on the track, and the University’s intramural programs.

The building also includes academic facilities for the College of Health Sciences along with accommodations for the new Physi-cal Therapy and expanded Sports Medicine programs.

The $40 million project, which broke ground in June of 2003, came in below budget. Half of the funding is coming from UWM parking fees, while the other half is from state funds and student segregated fees. The athletic department has also undertaken a variety of fundraising efforts for even greater enhancements within its space in the facility. Highlighting those improvements are the greater upgrades made to the the men’s basketball, wom-en’s basketball and volleyball locker rooms.

The most distinctive feature of the 135,000-gross-square-foot Pavilion is the extensive use of glass “walls,” creating a feeling of openness and allowing expansive views of nearby Downer Woods and the campus.

2005 NCAA Sweet 162006 NCAA Second Round BasketballUniversity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee men’s basketball games are heard on NewsTalk 1130 WISN.

UWM Athletics and Clear Channel signed a five-year agreement prior to the start of the 2006-07 basketball season, with games airing on WOKY for the fourth-straight year. But, the agreement set in motion a plan to move the games to WISN in time for the 2007-08 campaign. WISN has been the home of Panther basket-ball since then.

Thanks to the agreement, WISN is the home for the weekly “Rob Jeter on Basketball” show, which airs live from Harry’s Bar and Grill on Oakland in Shorewood. as well as other special Panther features. The move has greatly enhanced the visibility and reach of all UWM men’s basketball radio programming.

Perhaps the most popular addition to UWM’s coverage on WISN has been “Panthers Extra,” a postgame show that airs live from Major Goolsby’s following every Panther home game.

News/Talk 1130 WISN boasts a 50,000-watt signal during the day and a 10,000-watt signal at night.

The station also features extensive local talk program-ming, including the popular Mark Belling.

The Panthers On Radio

“We couldn’t be happier to have the UWM Panthers as part of the `ISN family,” WISN Program Director Jerry Bott said. “The Panthers have become such an important piece of the local sports landscape and we certainly believe they are a great addi-tion to our lineup of programming on WISN. We look forward to continuing the great relationship between Clear Channel and UWM Athletics.”

Bill Johnson returns for his 11th season as the play-by-play voice of Panther men’s basketball.

Johnson also serves as the host of “Rob Jeter on Basketball,” a weekly one-hour talk show with the head coach on WISN, and “The Rob Jeter Show” on Time Warner Sports.
