"They (#1-ranked Connecticut) just looked so arrogant. We all noticed it. They looked at the name on the jersey. . . . Man, the game hasn't even been played yet, how do you assume you're going to win?" - George Mason's Lamar Butler, March 26th, 2006
"I don't give a shit if you beat Alabama. This is the Big East." - Boston College's Sean Marshall, March 19th, 2005, shouted in the direction of Milwaukee guard Ed McCants during the 1st half of B.C.'s 83-75 loss to Milwaukee in the 2005 NCAA Tournament. The loss denied fourth-seeded B.C. their first Sweet 16 berth since 1994, and gave 12th seeded UWM their first ever.[1][2]
Hi! I like to follow college sports, particularly basketball and soccer. I love rooting for the under-rated, unappreciated underdog nearly all of the time. And there's nothing in sports that come's close on a regular basis to the underdog and cinderella stories one can find in NCAA Division I athletics... particularly March Madness. It's what makes college sports more entertaining than the pro's, IMO. My favorite college team is the Milwaukee Panthers of the giant-killer Horizon League.
My thoughts on Milwaukee's best college b-ball team since Dwyane Wade left the city: UWM has really played like a 2 or 3 seed the past 2 years. It took a good #1-seed in Illinois to beat them in 2005's Sweet 16, and it's not like they weren't competitive in that game. This year, it took the national champs, and that Florida team was every bit as dominating in the championship game too. Milwaukee has fairly comfortably beaten 4, 5, and 6 seeds in the last two years. I think people should now be surprised if they lose to these types of teams.
