UWM is Dancing

[MUUWUWM]

Can MU do it too?

[MUfan12]

No, but we have a great group of kids that work really hard.

[melissasmooth]

Yeah lots of teaching moments, character revealed, switchables, paint touches, blah blah blah

[MUEng92]

I have totally lost track of how many of my coworkers went to UWM. At least for the first time in a decade, I should be able to put a number on that.

[keefe]

No, but we have a great group of kids that work really hard...

...in practice

[4everwarriors]

Let loose, sister. You been drinkin' again!

[ChicosBailBonds]

Guard's game....I'd take a little spunky guard like UW-m has in a heart beat.

[Eldon]

Anybody wanna guess on their seed?

[mujivitz06]

No, but we have a great group of kids that work really hard.

In the end doesn't that matter much more than winning a basketball game?

That sucks.  I love Milwaukee, but tomorrow would be a day I have no desire to live there and go to work.

Great human beings. Probably not handling it the right way though. Root for guys the defense doesn't have to guard.

[keefe]

I love Milwaukee

I do love a good fish fry. And custard. Yes, custard.

It is always difficult watching "Tournament Week," where there are point guards and small forwards that can make three pointers.  And then I ponder life's cruelty. . .

You're funny.

Tell the people funding a multi-million dollar basketball program that winning doesn't matter.

[warriorfred]

Were people on this Board lamenting Marquette's failure to recruit Kyle Kelm?  Or did I imagine it?

What is a "Three Pointer?"

[warriorfred]

What is a "Three Pointer?"

Apparently it is something other teams dare you to shoot when they sag-off your starting point guard by 8 - 10 feet.

I was thinking of Derrick Wilson that entire game.  

And so much more of him to come next season.  

Ugh.

Game changer.  Game changer.

If you cannot be happy for UWM, I don't know what to say.  It's their 5th NCAA Tourney.  We own the 6th longest current NCAA in the country.  I work with some UWM fans / alums and I'm happy for them.  We are far and away the superior program but until Saturday at 11pm, they're danncing and we're not (yet).

Be happy for your neighbor.  Makes the block party that much more enjoyable.

[warriorstrack]

Anybody wanna guess on their seed?

Wright State was pegged as a 16, so I say 16

[madtownwarrior]

One of the few benefits of playing in a crappity league - much easier to win the conference tourney.    Guess some one has to fill the 15 seed line.

We've won plenty lately. If you would rather trade our success and program for another than that's your prerogative. I would rather have a coach stick to what he believes in and not change everything he has ever done at the first moment of non - optimum result.

I'm thrilled for UWM.  

But it does sting a bit thinking of how bad MU is likely to be next year, too.

[chapman]

Congrats to the Panthers.  Will certainly be rooting for them to pull the upset.  Some ice cubes thawing nicely on Jeter's seat.  Though it seems like whenever they do well we stink for the most part, so I hope this is a fluke year for them, since that would then apply to us.

15.  Not a favorite, but I've got to think the upset winner of the Horizon is still better than the upset winner or favorite in six low-majors that will get auto-bids.

Looks like the archives mostly felt he wasn't a Big East player.  It's a good example why development on the roster is so important - develop a couple of players that don't fit the "high major" mold throughout their career, and the UWMs can make the tournament.  Have players stall or regress and the MUs don't make the tournament.
