Game #3 - Milwaukee 62, IUPUI 49
Game #4 – Milwaukee 73, Texas Southern 38
IUPUI Full Recap and Stats
Texas Southern Full Recap and Stats
Player Of The Weekend: The Panthers actually had great success this weekend thanks to incredible balance, but Kaylon Williams will get the nod for his overall play. Friday he had eight assists and eight rebounds to go with six points. Sunday, he led the way with 16 points to go with six assists and five rebounds. Most importantly, he has directed an offense that has already seen seven different players reach double figures in points.
Key Stats: There isn’t much to complain about when it comes to the Panthers’ defense. Friday, UWM held IUPUI to 30 percent shooting from the field, including just 5-of-26 in the second half. Sunday, the Panthers allowed Texas Southern to shoot just 35.6 percent from the field. Over the second half Friday and the first half Sunday, UWM allowed just 11 made field goals.
News and Notes: UWM is 4-0 for the first time since 2004-05, when the Panthers started 6-0 … Milwaukee has had seven different players reach double figures in points with Kaylon Williams joining that group Sunday … the 38 points allowed are the fewest the Panthers have allowed since giving up just 21 against Mount Senario in December of 2000 … the 38 points are the fewest UWM has allowed to a Division I team since moving back to Division I in 1990 … the 35-point margin of victory is the biggest for the Panthers since a 41-point win over Youngstown State in 2006 … Kyle Kelm set a collegiate-high with 10 rebounds Sunday … Shaq Boga made his first collegiate basket and also dished out five assists.
Up Next: UWM hits the road for a pair of games next week, starting with a Wednesday night contest at Michigan State.

Player Of The Game: James Haarsma was awfully good Monday night. Fresh off a nine-point, 17-rebound outing against Southwest Minnesota State Saturday, the junior transfer had 15 points and 12 boards Monday. He also made a key 3-pointer late in the second half, his second 3 of the young season.

Former UWM women's basketball player Lindsay Laur has spent the past few months playing professionally for the Carolina Giants in Puerto Rico.
She ended up playing a very key role for the team this year, earning a starting spot and finishing the season as the team's leading scorer. Laur posted some impressive statistics during the regular season. She went 120-for-227 (.529) from the floor, 14-for-41 (.341) from three-point range and 73-for-84 (.869) from the free throw line. Her 355 points and 168 rebounds were easily the highest total on the squad (second was 198 points/109 rebounds), averaging 16.9 points and 8.0 rebounds per contest.
In addition, she recorded 58 assists and 29 steals.
Last night, she was the hero for the Giants, hitting the game-winning shot with under 10 seconds left to send her team to a 79-78 win and a 3-to-2 series victory in the semifinals and on to the championship round. She finished the game with 24 points.
