Still surprises me that MU starts 3 freshmen, a sophomore and a junior.
Any other team in the Big East that starts two freshmen in the back court?
No, Maine is not very good but I can't believe this is the same MU team that opened the season. 8-8 from the floor, out rebounding Maine 8-1 and the ball movement has been better than I have seen in quite some time.
Will need to see what happens against a better opponent, but they have come a long way in a few weeks!

Playing horrible. Already missed 2 shots! ;)
I don't really think it is possible to play much better than they are today.

Thinking the same thing. Team has made some major strides on both ends of the court.

53 assists on the last 64 baskets. Wow!
Actually pretty surprised that MU is playing Maine as it was about 10 years ago that Maine forced MU to cancel the Milwaukee Classic.
Now the Classic was no longer what it once was, but at the time it was still the longest running Holiday Tournament in the nation, which was something they were very proud of.
Maine told MU they signed their contract and would send it in, but it didn't come. MU asked, they said the same thing. MU asked again, and finally, weeks after they said they had already signed it, they called and backed out. No way MU could find another team willing to play two games that late in the off season, so they had to cancel the Classic. On top of that, MU had to find replacement games for the other two teams that were playing.
MU vowed to never play Maine again, but here we are...
MU doing an excellent job of feeding the post. MU has 40 of their 54 points have been scored in the paint and Luke already has 20 in the first half.

Duane Wilson was the one player who was kind of invisible in the first half.

Didn't Maine beat Marquette in Milwaukee during the Mike Deane days?

Traci Carter is going to be fun to watch the next 4 years.
He is pretty fun to watch now come to think of it.....

Does Duane have ice on his ankle on the bench?
Yes - Maine beat MU in 1997 at the BC.

Whitewater wins 31-29
NCAA trying to shake up the title game by putting Whitewater and Mount Union on the same side of the bracket. The two now play each other with the winner going to the title game. Let's look at the last few title games...
2104 - Whitewater beats Mt. Union
2013 - Whitewater beats Mt. Union
2012 - Mt. Union beats St. Thomas
2011 - Whitewater beats Mt. Union
2010 - Whitewater beats Mt. Union
2009 - Whitewater beats Mt. Union
2008 - Mt. Union Beats Whitewater
2007 - Whitewater beats Mt. Union
2006 - Mt. Union Beats Whitewater
2005 - Mt. Union Beats Whitewater
How about the state supports UWW moving up to D2 or D1-AA?

UWW doesn't want to go up to D2. The money isn't any better, there is no local conference and championships would be much harder to come by. Some WIAC schools looked into this a few years ago and realized it made little sense.

I'm willing to wager Broeker set this one up, likely to help out Bob Walsh. He mentioned in an interview that they knew each other, possibly going back to when Broeker was an athlete at Siena (albeit in baseball) and Walsh was an assistant at Iona.

Is our 3rd walk on red shirting? Just curious as I don't recall him playing yet even when the other 2 got in.

Good question, you'd think up by 37 against Maine would be a fine time for a Christian Haffner sighting.

You are correct, Broeker and Bob Walsh are friends and that is how this one came about.
