I will gladly eat crow for one night. I miss close games. Even a close loss would have felt like a win. But I’m glad we got one of our wins against UWM! Oh btw Does anyone think they win this game with Ryan? No. This was a coach’s win for sure. The way team has responded to Freddie is incredible.

Hell yeah!!! I hope they have a few extra game balls to hand out, because we have a few guys who should get one, Davin Ziegler at the top of the list, and everyone else. Not sure what was in the Gatorade tonight but oh man, we flashed that 3-point dagger!! Nice to have a moment like this, and of course what other team would you choose for it to be against other than UWM? I thought we would run out of gas in OT, such an awesome game!! I wondered when I saw no one posting on here at halftime that we all went superstitious or something, so I held off as well, haha!

Brian Kuklinski does a nice job but repeatedly saying "here in Milwaukee" when it is obvious listening to the broadcast he is not at the game is really annoying. Sorry about that! Wish I could’ve been at the game, I fell victim to the health and safety protocols. Would’ve much rather been there than in my basement. What a great game!

I'm happy for the coaches and players. They have been through so much this season and to still have the grit to compete against the first place team in the league says volumes about all of them.

The looped fake crowd noise was really distracting. Get well soon.

I have to admit, I was hoping for a close game and am shocked with the win. Like someone else said, if you are only going to win one game, this would be the one to win.

Tonight they played like a team that believed they could win.If they can play energy and intensity this team can play with anyone in this league and it will help to put fans in the stands also. Short week. I hope that we can get some guys back soon. Well done coach Freddie!!!!!!

Great win, never expected the team to dig this deep to find a W in Milwaukee. Looks like the players and fans were talking junk the whole game considering Brock eyeballed everyone Courtside at the end of the game. Davin hasn't played this well since the scrimmage I was at where he was a terror for 30+ mins. Congrats to Coach Owen's and the staff.
Only thing better then watching a victory in Milwaukee is listening to Kuklinski while watching a victory in a Milwaukee. I don't care if he's in his basement or in an airport, I'm not missing his road call

And this is why I don't gamble on sports.
It's also why I invest my heart into this. When you get a moment like this it is pure joy. I honestly thought some guys quit on the year but I'm so happy to be wrong. I'm happy to eat my words. Most of all I'm happy that the kids on the team and the coaches get this moment. It takes a lot to rally when you are down and they as a group didn't have to rally. Down 11-2, nobody would have expected or said anything. Yet guys that were down got up and handled their business.
No matter what happens from here they know they had balls of steel on this night!!

Can someone tell me where our UWM friend is in on this thread today? In December he was all over the thread coming in here to talk shit and now hes no where to be found. No surprise that man can only talk when ahead. But what a win! if we were going to only win one game I am glad it was against those scumbag Panthers at their place. Makes it even better they were only 0.5 games out of first place.
Also, i see talk about the Milwaukee announcer. I am not sure the guy could get any worse. Could the program at least be able to afford an announcer for the espn+ stream so I dont have to listen to the radio announcer all game?

There hasn’t been much to cheer about this season. At least for one night the team can enjoy a win and against their biggest rival.

Nice win the team got very lucky from 3 last night. In other words can we stop celebrating as if they made the tournament or something? More games left and the record is 3-22 now which is still horrible. They still played the same as before, Milwaukee just played bad defense. Something to build off of though but it’s too late in the season and I’m glad they finally freed DZ

We'll see what happens the rest of the season - this may have been one of those nights (think of the scene from Caddyshack where the old guy goes out golfing with Bill Murray in the electrical storm) - but so what? You know that when Nate Jenkins hits a 3-pointer that the stars are aligning in your favor. I kept seeing some things happen that made me wonder if now is the time we're going to fold - Cade getting a great offensive rebound but then throwing the ball to the official was one of those moments. But hey we didn't fold, we hit the shots when we needed to and managed to grab a couple rebounds when we needed to as well. We made them pay for their turnovers! I will continue to enjoy the moment, hopefully everyone else will too. It will be interesting to see if the confidence carries over on Thursday night against Oakland - it should.
You know we were talking recently about the continued new low points for the program - well how nice is it that we are experiencing what most likely will be the high point of the season!! Also - another thing I had mentioned previously can no longer happen: We are NOT going to lose 30 games this season!!

That was the most fun I've had at a game in a long time. Sitting in the GB section with a nice contingent of fellow Phoenix fans made it even better. Being able to share those moments with others who still care deeply about this program despite everything that has happened this season was awesome.
The guys made plays, made shots, and took advantage of UWM doing some stupid stuff. Loved seeing DZ and Brock giving it to the Milwaukee crowd at the end. The entire bench was up and into the game the whole night.
At least for one night, basketball was fun again. Is this some kind of turning point? Probably not. But who cares. Hopefully this is the loss that keeps UWM from winning the regular season title, but the way they're playing they probably have a few more coming anyway. They've got a real 2022 Minnesota Vikings feel to them.
