GREAT news!
So who saw this last few weeks of M & W BB coming?  For all who said it didn't matter this was football country and win or lose who cares?  I say bunk!
Pretty great for the players, coaches, school, and community!

Very disappointing loss tonight...

Another tough loss... No depth is really killing this team.

[Wick250]

Agreed.  It is ridiculously difficult to play a DI basketball schedule with basically seven players.  Some of our women seem to have hit a wall, but they must continue to press on because there is no alternative.  Six days off now should help.  If we stay as the fourth seed (third if Green Bay beats IUPUI and we beat CSU) we would play Wright State again in the semi-finals.  I actually like that match-up if we draw honest officials who will call fouls on the dirtiest team in the Horizon League.

Watched the game.  I agree with Wick 250 on the officiating. Wright State got the calls.  That being said I think fatigue is setting in with us playing only 7 girls and Sarah really not able to play extended minutes. Our 3 point shooting was way down and actually cost us both games this weekend.  That can be caused by fatigue and both games required lots of energy since both teams were bigger and more aggressive than us.

Survive and advance!

That game was a classic example of the cliche that states that good teams find a way to win.  Way too many unforced errors made this far closer than it should have been.  But chief said it best in his three word response.

Excellent crowd, especially on a Wednesday evening.

Key play in the game was the inbound pass with 2 seconds on the 30 clock and we get a layup and 3 point FT.  They were making a run, (this was a game of runs) and that play turned the momentum.  Milwaukee was a VERY physical team, strong hands, played very tough (but clean)  Truth is, we loose this if played at their house.  Crowd was decent size and into the game.  Very enjoyable last home game for Sarah, Allison and the seniors!

Bad bad loss.... Choked the game away. Feel for the seniors especially Cash....

[YSUGO]

I had the game on at work and I felt we got outcoached.  We got the lead and threw up shots with tons of time to run a play. We were in position to get the last shot but we didnt get it.  Was that the best person to shoot that? I haven’t watched enough to know.  Yes Cash missed an easy left handed layup that could have changed the outcome.  I don’t know if it’s a choke job but we had our chances.

[Wick250]

I disagree that this was a bad loss.  Green Bay is so good on defense that there is pressure to execute even on otherwise easy or routine shots.  A bad loss would have been quitting and rolling over when we fell behind by a dozen in the first half.  We certainly did not do that.  Yes, we should have won this game, and the missed opportunities will haunt the players forever.  But they played very hard and I was proud of them.

We will probably make the WNIT.  Don't know if we will get a home game.  Personally, I would prefer the WBI where I know that we could win the whole thing.
