Although one of the team takes its name in front of his Jersey, the state of Wisconsin just is not big enough for four men's basketball team division. Starting today, Wisconsin begins a series of three games - played in six days - against enemies of the state, UW-Milwaukee and Marquette and UW-Green Bay.
"[The other schools in the state] come with their best efforts, no doubt," said assistant coach Lamont Paris. "This is an opportunity to prove themselves. It is important for the state and is important for all participating schools and a good test, it is always an interesting challenge." The Kohl Center is the first stop for Panthers (6-5, 1-1) who embark on a tour of three games, and when they face the badger (6-2), a handful of former teammates and colleagues shock as opponents.
UW-M head coach Rob Jeter served as UW coach Bo Ryan' protection for over a decade. Jeter played for Ryan, UW-Platteville 1987-1991 and captain of the championship team in 1991 before becoming an assistant coach under Ryan for 10 years at UW-Platteville, UW-Milwaukee and Wisconsin. Couple were joined in the summer of 2009 coach of Team USA World University Games bronze medal.
