Game #7 – Milwaukee 59, Loyola 41
Full Recap and Stats
Player Of The Game: Could go a couple of ways with this, but hard to overlook the job Kaylon Williams did in running the team tonight. He finished with 12 points, seven rebounds and seven assists. Let's just say we will keep the triple-double alert out for him because he will eventually get another one to add to his resume. Kyle Kelm was very good - making 6-of-7 to get to his 13 points as well.
Key Stats: The Panthers dominated the boards (42-20) which led to an impressive 16-2 edge in second-chance points and overwhelming 34-8 advantage in points in the paint.
News and Notes: The defense has been superb - holding their third opponent under 50 points - something done just four times in all of 2004-05 (the last time UWM held at least three under 50). Also, the fifth opponent under 60 to match the season tally from a year ago.
Up Next: UWM continues its two-game swing vs. the Chicago league schools when it welcomes UIC Saturday at the Cell at 1 p.m.

Postgame Report: Milwaukee at Bradley
Game #5 – Milwaukee 71, Bradley 67
Full Recap and Stats
Player Of The Game: The Panthers had four players in double-figures, so it was actually a difficult choice to pick just one. Angela Rodriguez went off for a season-high 21 points, Sami Tucker posted her second-straight double-double (17 & 12) and Courtney Lindfors and Emily Decorah were in double-figures. A case could even be made for Alex Klawitter who hit a huge three down the stretch and calmly sank two free throws - on her first two attempts of the season no less - to put the game away.
After much debate, it goes to Tucker. Hear her postgame radio interview HERE with Scott Warras.
Key Stats: The Panthers could have buried the Braves by halftime, but 14 turnovers made it close. UWM came into the game averaging just 12 turnovers but were forced into 24 tonight. For perspective, they did come up with 21 of their own but did actually lose the turnover battle for the first time this season.
News and Notes: Milwaukee had 27 made free throws on the season coming into tonight's game. The Panthers went 28-for-39 tonight alone. Composure down the stretch was key, going 6-for-8 from the line in the final 94 seconds.
Up Next: UWM continues its five-game road trip with a contest at Western Michigan Saturday. Game time is set for 6 p.m. CST.

The Notebook - Laur reached double-digits in scoring for the 15th-straight game and the 72nd time in her career … her streak is fifth in school history, while she is now in sole possession of fourth … Angela Rodriguez has made 97 field goals this season, fourth-most in school history for a freshman … she is also up to 50 threes, second-most … with her 25th start of the season, she is up to fifth for starts … Courtney Lindfors moved up to third among Panther freshmen with 84 made free throws … UWM shot 52.2 percent at the free throw line, its worst of the season … Milwaukee has outrebounded 12 of its last 13 opponents … in a continuing odd statistical quirk, the Panthers are 0-9 when exactly 3 players score 10+ points, but 5-2 when more than 3 do and 4-4 when just 2 are in double-figures … UWM had 0 bench points for the first time since Feb. 6, 2010 at Detroit … Panther reserves, who had scored 10+ points in each of the last 10 games, were a combined 0-for-1 from the field.
Up Next - The Panthers return to action next week, hosting Butler Thursday at the Klotsche Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Post-Game Wrap-Up: Milwaukee @ #15/21 Green Bay
Game #18 –Green Bay 87, Milwaukee 39
Full game recap and stats here
Player of the Game - Sammy Theut. This was a rough game all around for Milwaukee. But, Theut looked her strongest since hurting her ankle against Wright State in the league opener. She played 15 minutes, finishing with 3 steals and a pair of offensive boards.
Turning Point - Early. UWM never got its offense on track and, after making it 8-5, conceded a 20-2 run. Milwaukee did not have multiple scoring possessions in a row without Green Bay scoring until well into the second half. Any time the Panthers scored, the Phoenix answered—usually with a run.
Stat That Mattered - Pick ‘em: 29 turnovers/22% shooting. Green Bay used its aggressiveness to disrupt the Panther offense from the opening tip. Those two stats combined to keep UWM with more turnovers than points for a big chunk of the game.
The Notebook - Milwaukee set a school record for fewest field goals made (9) and posted the third-worst shooting percentage in team history … the Panthers shot 22 percent in a game for the second time this season (South Dakota). Ironically, UWM is 1-1 in those games … their 39 points are a season-low.

She had a number of key baskets for UWM, including converting a three-point play in overtime to give the Panthers the lead for good.
Turning Point - Imperiale’s 3-point play. She hit a layup to make it 79-78 with just over a minute remaining in overtime and drew contact. When she made the free throw, the Panthers had all the momentum they needed to hold on for the win.
Stat That Mattered - 8 turnovers after halftime. Once Milwaukee got control of the ball, there was seemingly no stopping it. The Panthers outscored the Flames, 55-42, after halftime.
The Notebook - UWM snapped a five-game losing streak in overtime games ... the team is 13-16 in Division I OT games … the Panthers also played in overtime Dec. 1 against Bradley … Angela Rodriguez and Lindsay Laur both scored at least 20 points for the second time this season, the first being that Bradley game … Laur passed Rachel Mickelson (1,152) and Nichole Drummond (1,153) to move up to ninth on UWM’s all-time scoring list with 1,160 points … her 7 assists were a career-high, as were her 3 blocks … the Panthers hit 10+ threes in a game for the third time this season.

Post-Game Wrap-Up: Milwaukee @ Cleveland State
Post-Game Wrap-Up: Milwaukee @ Cleveland State
Game #14 –Cleveland State 76, Milwaukee 60
Full game recap and stats here
Player of the Game - Lindsay Laur. This is something of a previous works award. Five-straight double-doubles is quite an achievement. It was not her most impressive double-double (13p, 11r), but it was the one that tied the school record. Special mention goes to Courtney Lindfors, who posted her second-straight solid game. She scored a team-high 17 points and grabbed 7 boards.
Turning Point - 16:01-4:24 in the second half. UWM went 0-for-12 from the field and turned the ball over 10 times. CSU went on a 15-6 run over that time to turn a 2-point game into an 11-point game.
Stat That Mattered - 24 turnovers. That scoreless streak started with 5-straight turnovers. The Panthers were stifled in their comeback bids with miscues.
The Notebook - Laur tied the school record for consecutive double-doubles and double-digit rebounding games (5) … she also tied Erica Young for third in school history with 20 career double-doubles … Laur tied Niki Flack for 12th in school history on the career scoring list (1,121) … Kimee Chandler hit multiple 3-pointers in her third-straight game.
Up Next - Milwaukee continues its road trip at Youngstown State Saturday. The Panthers and Penguins kick off at noon central time.
