Wisconsin-Milwaukee Brews Up a Big Victory Over the Bobcats

The Wisconsin Milwaukee-Wisconsin Panthers got the best of the Texas State men’s basketball team tonight, beating them 96-77.

From beginning to end, the Bobcats never led the game. The Panthers started the game on fire, leading Texas State 16-0, and led by as many as 31 points. While Texas State was down by 26 at the half, they cut the deficit in half to thirteen points in the second half, shooting 46 percent. But the rally was not enough to catch the Panthers.

The Bobcats started the game off poorly. They shot 36 percent in the first half and had nine turnovers in less than ten minutes. Whether it was a drive, jumper or 3-pointer, they couldn’t find the basket. Not that it’s an excuse, but the Bobcats are a young team with only a handful of veteran players. They are still trying to find their identity, chemistry and execution. Fortunately, they do have a lot of potential and room to grow. Just remember, this was only one game.
