Game #9 – Milwaukee 87, DePaul 76
Full Recap and Stats
Player Of The Game: It’s hard to pick from the group of Kaylon Williams, Tony Meier and Paris Gulley, but Williams get the nod for his offense as well as his abilities in handling the DePaul pressure. The senior point guard scored a collegiate-high 21 points and had five assists but just one turnover in the win.
Key Stat: Milwaukee put up just about the right number of three-pointers and converted a very nice percentage of them. In all, UWM was 11-of-20 from long range. Paris Gulley and Tony Meier each went 5-of-5 from distance.
