TRE IN THE PORTAL

[Mu8891]

Tre going to UWM .... Going to be their starter at the 2 guard.

[tower912]

Best of luck to him.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Hope he has a great season.

[MU82]

Just another reason for Marquette to avoid playing UWM.

[PointWarrior]

nah, they suck, that's why we don't play them...

No.  Marquette is terrified of losing to them.

Hope he thrives there

[Galway Eagle]

He got a girl who lives in town? Super good friends with our team and still wants to hang? Really hates packing?

Awesome to see he landed on his feet just surprised it happened to be down the street.

They won't play us as a guarantee game. As long as they require us to play a game at the Mecca, we won't see them on the schedule.

[Jay Bee]

Cannot wait for Tre's first 20-piece at Milwaukee. It's coming (pawz).

[tower912]

We agree.  As you said elsewhere, his bully ball style will translate at that level.  Like the old guy at the Y who can't be stopped from getting to the basket.  Could be like Jamal Cain at Oakland.  Different style, different level of competition, could work out for him.

[NCMUFan]

Wishing Tre success at Milwaukee.

I would love to go to a game there - so many memories. In fact, just thinking about it, I think I'll  go to a UWM game the next time I'm in MKE to see MU. It'll be 55 years, but I bet I could go right to my old seats like a homing pigeon - what times they were.

[MU82]

The Arena was a great place to watch a basketball game. Just about all the seats were good, and its intimacy made for a loud, effective home-court advantage.

Obviously, Fiserv has numerous advantages, not the least of which is the increased capacity. Though I loved watching Marquette and Bucks games at the Arena, I totally get why it's not adequate in today's environment.

Got me reminiscing - there may have been subsequent times when I was as happy as when at those games, but never as carefree since. 

[BrewCity83]

One thing I really miss from the MECCA was the "theater" lighting, where the court was lit up but the entire seating area was dark.  Way easier to focus on the court and not be distracted.

[Jay Bee]

95 vs S Fla at the MECCA was amazing

[Uncle Rico]

All this Mecca reminiscing reminds me of Kojis taking on Mikan and Chones battling Ewing

Horizon League tournament was awesome there when UWM was good from 04-06

[Billy Hoyle]

95 vs S Fla at the MECCA was amazing

That game is probably my best memory of my time at MU. In fact, that game solidified my decision to stay at MU after I had strongly considered transferring. Meanwhile, a young HS sophomore a few states away watched that game with her dad, and it got her interested in looking into attending MU (since she had to attend a Jesuit college per her very devout father). We've been together since 1997.

The following season, we ripped up Santa Clara and Steve Nash in front of a near sellout at the MECCA.

What are the rules on Tre getting an MU degree after a year at UWM???

He has 3 at MU....Can he go a year at UWM and then take a class or two to finish a degree and graduate an MU grad?

Additionally can Amadou presumably do the same thing?

Kismet! Great story.

I could be wrong but I feel like MU made a big deal about offering lifetime guaranteed scholarships in the past. I'm sure if Tre let Shaka and his advisor know he wanted to graduate from MU he'd probably be able to.

What kind of NIL can UWM offer? Does it even get to 5 digits?
