I think that this one will be closer.  Hopefully Arians and Jordan keep up their crap play vs. Valpo, and we keep Tiby to less than 10 FT attempts:

Valpo will be the designated home team due to VU having the #4 seed and UWM having the #5 seed. It will be interesting to see which team has more fans at the game. It should be fairly even.

I see Alec and LVD's will to move on in the tourney and getting another shot at Green Bay winning out slightly in this one. It will be a tight game to the very end but those 2 VU players will find a way to pull it out, especially on a neutral court.

UWM fans barely attend games in Milwaukee, let alone a neutral site game 2 hours away. Should be pretty dead.

When I called the ticket office to add on 2 tickets to my initial order, the lady guessed my name, which indicates they're not getting too many fans in the Valpo block, which is understandable. Valpo always has a huge showing in Milwaukee (especially the tourney games in 09), but Green Bay might be a stretch.

We seem to own UWM lately, but I think if the refs allow for a physical game and swallow the whistle, we could be in for a quick exit. We can't seem to win those games.

Line has moved to Valpo -4.5. Started at -2.5. Must've been those two extra tickets I got.

I will say Valpo by 6. For whatever reason we have owned them the past handful of times. Let's hope we stay hot vs Milwaukee.

So therefore the fan attendance should be fairly even. Neither fan base will have a big traveling group in Green Bay but the Milwaukee crowd has the shorter distance to travel so they should have the larger percentage of their normal size home crowd.

I would presume most Green Bay fans in attendance would be cheering against Valpo.

Both uwm and valpo beat Green Bay.  Uwm did it at their place and with brown in attendance.  I thought uwm was green bays rival. 
CRUSADERS!!!

As shown in the previous two games we match up very well with Milwaukee. Our bigs definitely disrupted their post play by Tiby and Kelm and they aren't a good enough shooting team to even it out. I think we win by 10-15 as we have in the previous two games.

Remember to go vote for Jerran Young to participate in the dunk contest at the Final Four by searching State Farm College Slam on Facebook!! And beat both of those WI teams!!

Can't shoot, can't guard, can't box out, can't rebound. Heckuva first 5 minutes.

Look at the bright side...We are still good at turning the ball over.  We better pull it together.

Let's add terrible ball security, bad decision making, and poor FT shooting to the list.  Unacceptably bad basketball.

The seniors bear responsibility for this pitiful performance (with an assist from Vashil, who has played poorly, too).  Dority has been non-existent and completely shut down.  First-team conference guards play much better than that at tournament time.  Don't get me started on the other seniors. 

We're lucky we're not playing one of the better high school teams in the Midwest.  We'd be blown-out by now.

Milwaukee has 15 first-half offensive rebounds? We have none? My god.

rink

Got the defecit down to 6, with the ball, and Adekoya flushes the possession away with sheer worthless garbage stupidity. And the deficit jumps to 10....

This looks like a team that just wants to get on the bus and go home.

Before anyone says it here, that was a dumb move by Carter but the game was over before he got DQ'd

Adekoya has no business starting let alone playing the minutes he's playing.

These announcers are annoying. ..  saying the same things over and over. ...
