Green Bay Phoenix vs. Milwaukee Panthers: NCAA Basketball Showdown

2024-12-12

In the highly anticipated game between Milwaukee and Green Bay, both teams have made their presence felt at the halftime stage. However, their offensive performances have left much to be desired. Currently, Milwaukee holds a score of 46 - 38 and appears to be the stronger team, but there is still one more half to play. If Milwaukee continues to play at this level, they are likely to improve their record to 7 - 4 in no time. On the contrary, Green Bay will have to work hard to salvage a 2 - 9 record unless they can turn things around quickly.

Who's Playing

The Milwaukee Panthers will face off against the Green Bay Phoenix on Wednesday. The current records show Milwaukee with 6 - 4 and Green Bay with 2 - 8. This is a crucial Horizon League battle that will take place at 7:00 p.m. ET at the Resch Center. The Phoenix are coming into this matchup on a five-game losing streak, which adds to the excitement and pressure.

Green Bay was expected to win their previous contest against Clev. State but suffered a painful 83 - 61 loss. This marked their lowest-scoring match of the season. On the other hand, Milwaukee emerged victorious with a 79 - 67 win over Clev. State on Thursday. They showcased their dominance by smashing the offensive glass and finishing the game with 19 offensive rebounds.
