Oct. 28, 2011 – Engelmann Stadium (Milwaukee, Wis.)

Woman of the Match: Sarah Hagen. In her last regular season home game, Apple gave the home fans something to cheer about with a hat trick.

What The Preseason Basketball Magazines Are Saying

A number of preseason men’s basketball magazines have hit newsstands. So how are the Panthers stacking up?

Athlon picks the Panthers to be fourth in the Horizon League and has Tony Meier on its All-Horizon League First Team. Freshman Shaquille Boga is among “The Next 200” in the Class of 2011.

Athlon thinks the Panthers will be tested by its non-league schedule this season. The magazine has Wisconsin 14th in the country, Marquette 17th and Michigan State 19th. Plus, Texas Southern is picked to win the SWAC and IUPUI is one of the favorites in the Summit League.

Lindy’s also has UWM pegged for fourth in the league and puts Kaylon Williams on the all-league second team while also naming him the most versatile player in the league.

The Sporting News has the Panthers second in the league to Detroit with Tony Meier on the all-league team. That publication also highlights another UWM non-league opponent, with Western Michigan picked as the favorite in the MAC West.
