Wisconsin weather hasn't been great, the news of the Horizon League tournament moving to IUPUI's arena wasn't great and losing 5 of the last 6 games with 4 losses on the road that weren't really competitive is probably worst of all. Yet that can't distract from the task at hand. It is rivalry week for Green Bay!
At 7pm the Krash the Kress game will be played on 2/1/19. There is a pregame rally as well. Hopefully they get a sold out building and receive a good amount of energy from the fans.
GB had to come back from a slow start at Milwaukee, it was a 20 point swing in the 10 point win. Milwaukee has some size and has been playing better. I don't think this will be easy for GB. Cody and Manny should both get plenty of clock, big contributions are needed from both. I think this is a team Sandy can do well against.

Can't practice when school is cancelled and both schools have been cancelled probably until Friday at the earliest... Have to see how this one plays out.

I was planning on going to this game a month ago but I cannot in good conscience attend anymore games until linc is fired. I’ll be forever grateful for him leading the team to the ncaa tournament but he completely lied about the style of play his teams bring to the table. There is no relentless pressure for 40 mins much less ten.
I will continue to follow this team from home but I’m done spending another dime on this program until a change is made. When you can’t even beat a pathetic iupui team at home that’s where I draw the line. They are less competitive this year than last with a much more talented team. This team has taken a complete shit since conference play started and linc does nothing to fix it. Reminds me of Mike McCarthy: Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Looks like it is a go for tomorrow night. There are less than 250 tickets left, that is a good sign.
I can't blame anyone for giving up. I hope GB can win you back sooner with improved performance starting tomorrow night.

GB better win tomorrow night. The program can’t afford to lose a game like this.

Was great to see them take control of a game from start to finish. Wasn’t perfect, but it was definitely the best conference game they’ve played so far. If they play like this, they can compete with anyone in the league. For anyone who attended the game, how did the atmosphere compare to a game at the Resch?

McNair coming into his own changes this team.

Good win but have to be able to play like this on the road. If they can’t go on the road and sweep CSU and YSU then this is all for nothing.

Are you still really thinking IUPUI is “pathetic”? They just knocked off the first place team in the Horizon League last night. They’re tied for second in the League standings right now - so maybe that loss to them at home (in Green Bay) last week wasn’t as bad as you were thinking.

Last night looked more like the team in early December playing together and playing with confidence. Josh McNair's play really opens things up on offense. He plays like an undersized 4- has good moves from 8ft from the basket and rebounds better than anyone else lately. A confident Cody Schwartz will be needed to get GB a home game in the tournament. He looked great last night and the guys moved the ball well to get him in the right situations. Can this team go win two road games next weekend? If they can do that, there are enough big games at the Resch that should get these guys top 4.

So IUPUI is still pathetic - but it’s just that Green Bay doesn’t match up well against them, and therefore the reason for the loss? (Nothing to do with IUPUI being any good or actually having talented players. I see.) We’ll look forward to seeing the Phoenix play in Indy later this month.

GB has no room to talk trash on IUPUI. We haven’t won a game against them yet and 2 of those losses were at the Resch.
