Milwaukee Preview--a quick look.

Next up for the basketball team is University of Milwaukee Panthers.  We are 1-0 vs. teams with Panthers in their name this year.

Milwaukee is 5-7 on the season with a top 100 schedule, as things currently stand.  They beat Niagara by 17 on the road (a team BG lost to on a neutral court--Niagara currently has an RPI in the 290s), and they lost to WMU by 12 in Milwaukee.  They have a nice win over a pretty good Northern Iowa team and their worse loss is by 14 points to DePaul in Chicago.

They are significantly less productive on offense than BG is, but they are also less productive on the defensive end.
Pace wise, they play at almost exactly the same pace BG does.
They are shooting 35% from beyond the arc, which will put pressure on the Falcons to defend the perimeter.
They have very balanced scoring.  In fact, they have only one player who is scoring in double figures.
