The Horizon League has announced network HD, instant replay implamentation.Both great additions. I watch numerous road conference games by plugging my laptop into my bigscreen TV with a HDMI cable. That will be great with HD, it was pretty rudimentary before. Basketball was meant for HD. Instant replay will also be a good addition. These HL officials need all the help they can get. I'm sure they will appriciate it too.

Well that isn't good, seems like some self reported violations will be coming in the near future.

You have your AD and 2 assistant BB coaches resign this past week.....I'd sure like to know what's going on at UDM, and if there's some NCAA violations afoot. I wouldn't be surprised if there was some kind of announcement the eve before UDM's first regular season game.
UDM is one of those programs (like UWM) that should have been better that what they have been historically. They should have been almost on par with Butler in terms of program success.
This may be the distraction that may allow GB to be the prime contender with Valpo for the HL.....

I hate to see this for any Horizon League school. I hope it's over but the way it's working out there's probably more to come. But playing by the rules is a must!

I've decided not to go through on reporting this, as I only have one extremely credible source who wishes to remain anonymous. No one else will join him.
I don't know about Carlos Briggs' situation, but the Gaither and Thomas situations will not bring NCAA sanctions.

Milwaukee gets a gift intentional foul call in the final minute to come from behind and beat UW-P. Parkside is a D2 that was predicted 6th in their conference this year. Dang that is an embarrassingly bad performance. Statistical predictors like Ken Pomroy think Milwaukee is sub-200 RPI team. They cemented that idea tonight. Sad for such a veteran team, no one in the conference has fewer underclassmen.

Dang that is an embarrassingly bad performance. Statistical predictors like Ken Pomroy think Milwaukee is sub-200 RPI team. They cemented that idea tonight. Sad for such a veteran team, no one in the conference has fewer underclassmen. The intentional foul call was legit; Bryant Smith hacked Jordan Aaron going up for the shot, so I don't know how anyone could see that and not understand that's what it was. You are absolutely right, it was an embarrassingly bad performance. They didn't lose the game, which easily could have happened, so I give them credit for responding to adversity. But you're right, this was a D-I team playing a D-II team. It was evident in the second half who was the D-I team and who was D-II. The best statistical teller in this game was 1) A/TO and 2) FT's. In the first half, Parkside had 10 assists to 4 turnovers; Milwaukee had 2 assists to 9 turnovers. Obviously a big difference. The second was just as telling; Milwaukee was 12-of-27 from the free throw line, with Demetrius Harris going 2-for-11. Pregame it was mentioned that Harris hadn't missed a free throw in seven practices - I guess things changed when the lights turned up! If Harris had been even adequate from the free throw line, say 60%, Parkside wouldn't have been able to deploy the hack-a-shaq defense on him and he would have had a lot of easy baskets. It was a tale of two halves; the first half was probably the worst half of basketball I've seen in a few years from us - maybe the first half against UC Davis in the Iowa State tournament a few years ago was worse. The second half was above average - not great, not good, but above average. We shot 62% in the second half and the perimeter defense, which was atrocious in the first half, flipped like a switch. The adjustments Jeter made as far as perimeter defense led them from being 6-11 from three in the first half to 1-5 in the second. It was obvious the team was missing Paris Gulley. Unofficially he was the leading scorer in the scrimmage against Northwestern. Without him on the court, Milwaukee has three healthy scholarship guards. Mitch Roelke is a serviceable emergency backup at the guard position but lacks the foot speed to really do anything, like many walk-ons. Tonight was the first time I really felt like you could point out a failure in recruiting; Milwaukee does not have enough guards. Losing out on Trivante Bloodman hurt this team; it was down to us and Mississippi State, and it would have been us if they didn't get their new coach this year. I'll be keeping an eye on his numbers. Overall, Jordan Aaron had a bad game. He didn't seek out other players for shots as much, and relied too heavily on creating his own shot with the ball. Demetrius Harris garnered the nickname "the black hole" from people around me in the stands because "If you throw it in to the black hole, it doesn't come out." Which was true, he didn't pass in many situations where he should. In the end, this was a W that didn't mean anything, but it would have been a PR nightmare to lose. Some might say winning by one is basically the same thing, but I can tell you from personal experience that it does matter that we won in the end. In 2006 when we lost to Parkside in exhibition, we went from 800 students to 50 overnight. When we beat Cardinal Stritch in 2009 by two, we went from 800 students to 700 the next game (I'm just noticing looking at the numbers that we've had between 700 and 900 students at the first exhibition game in every season of Jeter's tenure...that's weird). Students saw Parkside rain down shots in the first half like they were on fire, and then they saw the Panthers come back and win with exciting dunks, big three-pointers and tenacious defense. The student crowd was above 800, and only a group of 4 or 5 here and there left at halftime - I was expecting the student crowd to empty at halftime, but they surprisingly stuck around. And they were a lot louder in the second half. In the first half the 40 or so "leaders" were the only ones standing and cheering, by the 5 minute mark of the second half all 800 were standing. It was an exciting game, albeit disconcerting because hey, let's face it, this is Parkside. As Jeter said in the post-game press conference, this is going to be a great tape for the team to watch tomorrow. Our exhibition games have also not always been indicative of our season. Our worst year under Jeter, 06-07, featured the Parkside loss - but the 09 game against Cardinal Stritch, which would have been worse for PR since they're NAIA and just 20 blocks north of UWM, didn't have much of an effect on student attendance. All in all it's a black eye that could have been a fractured cheekbone.

Right now, I'd say the 5th-7th place finish sounds about right for Milwaukee. Teams can change and finish the season strong, however, which won us the title in 2010-11 and made GB a real good team ending the season last year.
Added: Jeter probably had the best quote immediately in his press conference. "Parkside came in here and won. We stole it from them."

I'm not sure what your talking about, because the intentional foul was supposed committed on Niang. It was the play after the steal. It gave Milwaukee's 2 free throws and the ball when they were down 3. Niang was clearly fouled, but the player was going for the ball. No reason at all for the intentional call. Parkside should have gotten the ball back up 1 with 15 seconds left. Don't use the Gulley injury as an excuse, Parkside was missing their best player too! I'm not surprised Jordan Aaron was sloppy and selfish. Remember when I pointed out those flaws in his game right after his commitment? He had a terrible assist to turnover rate at a JC, it will only get worse at D1. Milwaukee's top priority in recruiting should be to find a real PG. The fact that Jeter didn't recognize Carrington Love's talent like Wardle did will haunt Milwaukee for the next 4 years.

I don't want to damage any reputations so I'll leave it at that. You're right, I mistook Jordan for Bobo on the intentional foul. On second look, Smith's hand grabbed and wrenched the left forearm of Bobo. Any attempts to reach the ball quickly became moot after that. You bring up how Jordan Aaron's A/TO will likely get worse in D-I, I don't doubt that. It wasn't indicated as much last night because he only turned it over twice. Played much, much better against Northwestern - a lot of guys did.

It's why Milwaukee has been saddled with a litany of off the court issues during Jeter's tenure. Jeter has a PG who was thrown out of his JC for theft for Christ sakes. Sad. As for how Aaron played last night, he had a 1 to 1assist to turnover ratio, not good enough for a PG, and even worse than his JC numbers. He'll do better than that over a larger sample, but he will still be on the bottom end of the HL PG spectrum. It's an awesome group in the HL this year, despite only 2 seniors.

I would love to see uwm lose to a D2 team. I didn't see the game so I can't comment on what happened but looking at the running score, it at least looked like uwm really turned it up when needed. Nobody will remember a D2 1 point win for uwm but a D2 loss would have drawn a little attention. Certainly GB fans remember a loss to Rollins College. Certainly uwm fans loved to rip on the loss especially for a team that had veterans and a tenured head coach. I would love to return the favor to uwm. Now tomorrow is another chance for uwm to get a D2 loss. For one big reason I don't think it will happen though. That reason is I will be at the game and I couldn't imagine being lucky enough to see it in person. Two of my buddies are big fans and they asked me to go. I want to evaluate the lack of talent myself so I agreed to go.
