SCOUTING WRIGHT STATE
The Raiders finished the regular season with an 11-9 record in Horizon League contests, good enough to finish with the fourth seed in the league standings and earning the final hosting duties in the quarterfinal round. The Raiders split their pair of matchups with Milwaukee during the regular season, which included a 77-70 win at home on January 5, before heading to the Klotsche Center and falling to the Panthers in overtime by a 93-87 margin.

It was the Alexis Hutchison show in both matchups against the Panthers as she had eight makes including five from three at home to lead the Raiders with 24 points, before putting up 34 points on 13-of-28 shooting including three makes from three in Milwaukee. The lone representative for Wright State in the season awards announced earlier this week could have very well been the Horizon League Player of the Year as she was tops in the league in scoring at 19.1 points per game, 17th in rebounding (5.5/game), ninth in field goal percentage (41.3), fourth in free throw percentage (81.7), fifth in assists (3.2), seventh in assist/turnover ratio (1.0), fifth in steals (1.9), and led the league in minutes per game (34.9).

The Raiders finished the season fifth in the league in field goal percentage (41.9) but were 10th in league defensively allowing 43.7 percent from the field. Milwaukee should be able to control the rebounding game as the Panthers are fourth in the league in rebounding while Wright State is 10th. In their two matchups during the regular season, Milwaukee outrebounded Wright State on the road, 48-29, and at home, 49-32. The Raiders take care of the ball well with a +1.32 turnover margin, in comparison to Milwaukee’s -2.00, Wright State is also second in the league in assist/turnover ratio at 0.98, just percentage points ahead of Milwaukee (0.97).

While Hutchison has five of the top 19 offensive scoring games in the Horizon League, which includes a 37-point performance at West Virginia, and a 34-point game at Milwaukee, the Raiders have plenty of other key components to their team. Rachel Loobie is fifth in the league in rebounds per game (6.8), while Kacee Baumhower at 85.1 percent along with Hutchison (81.7) are both in the top-four in free throw percentage. The dynamic front court of Loobie and Layne Ferrell are both in the top five in the Horizon League in blocks & blocks per game with Ferrell at 47/1.57 and Loobie at 33/1.10.

Since taking over in May of 2021, Kari Hoffman has led the Raiders to the 10th seed in her first season and the ninth seed last season before shooting up the standings into the fourth position in 2024. In her two seasons as Director of Basketball Operations with Green Bay, she won a championship with the Phoenix in 2009, and dropped a heartbreaker in overtime to fourth-seeded Cleveland State in the 2010 semifinals. In her five seasons at Division II Cedarville, which preceded her stop at Wright State, Hoffman was the one seed twice, three seed twice, and four seed once, advancing to the semifinals in four of five seasons.

SERIES HISTORY
Milwaukee and Wright State have met 68 times in Division I history, with the Raiders holding a slim 35-33 advantage. The two sides have split their regular season matchups each of the past two seasons, with Milwaukee sweeping the 2021-22 double round robin matchups. In postseason play, the Panthers and Raiders have met six times with each team winning on three occasions. The higher seed as won every time when MKE and WSU have met in postseason play, with the 2007 matchup going to overtime as the Panthers came out on top 85-79.

IN THE POSTSEASON
This is the 29th year that Milwaukee has made the Horizon League Championship, and the fifth time that the Panthers have qualified for the league championship as the fifth seed. The Panthers have only been the two seed more often than the five seed, earning the second spot on six occasions, most recently in 2021.

Milwaukee has qualified for the semifinals once as the fifth seed, with that coming back in 2017 after knocking off fourth-seeded Oakland 82-60 before falling to the top seed Green Bay by seven points. The Panthers have also locked horns with Wright State on six occasions in postseason history, with the two teams splitting their matchup 3-3. In their most recent postseason game, Milwaukee as the two seed knocked off third-seeded Wright State 68-60. During the 2011 season, Wright State was the fourth seed and Milwaukee was the five, as the Raiders earned the 63-58 win. The higher seed has won all six of the previous postseason matchups between MKE and WSU.

ALL-LEAGUE HONORS
On Monday, the Horizon League announced its yearly award winners with Kendall Nead being selected to the Horizon All-League Second Team following her senior season with the team. In addition to being named an All-League honoree, Nead received the league’s inaugural Sportsmanship Award.

Becoming the first player in program history to receive the honor, Grace Crowley was named Sixth Player of the Year as the top reserve in the 11-team Horizon League, Crowley was a key contributor for the Panthers on defense, while also having her best offensive season as a Panther leading Milwaukee at 67.0 percent from the field.

Jorey Buwalda was named to the All-Freshman team as she appeared in all 31 of the team’s games while making seven starts. The freshman was the team’s leading rebounder with 173 boards for an average of 5.6 per contest.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Following her 25-point performance on March 2 at Green Bay, Kamy Peppler was named Horizon League Player of the Week for the first time in her career. Peppler was a two-time Horizon League Freshman of the Week during the 2022-23 season. Peppler joins Kendall Nead, who was named Player of the Week earlier this season, and Jorey Buwalda, who was a three-time Freshman of the Week during the regular season.

WE LIKE ROUND NUMBERS
Kendall Nead scored her 1,000th point against Detroit on February 22, she also recorded the 400th rebound of her career against the Titans. Angie Cera crossed over the 600-point plateau and made her 200th career field goal at Green Bay on March 2 after recording her 100th career three-pointer at Cleveland State on February 17. Cera has now started in 51 career games, and one away from 100 appearances for her career, Jada Donaldson played in her 100th game against Detroit Mercy on February 22, and started in her 50th career game at Green Bay. Kamy Peppler crossed over the 500-point mark at Cleveland State in mid-February.

FEBRUARY: THE MILLENNIUM MONTH
With Kendall Nead recording her 1,000th career point on February 22 against Detroit, she became the 13th Panther in program history to reach the milestone in the month of February. There have been 23 Panthers all-time to score four digits in their Panther careers including Traci Edwards, who is the program’s all-time leading scorer with 2,340 points. Edwards, like Nead, scored her 1,000th career point on February 22 during the 2007 season she scored her 2,000th career point on January 8, 2009.

TWO FOR THREE
For the first time since joining the Horizon League, Milwaukee has held conference opponents to two or fewer three-point baskets in consecutive game as the Panthers kept Detroit to 2-of-14 from three on Thursday, while holding Cleveland State to 2-of-19 from three in its previous game last Saturday.

Milwaukee accomplished the feat with non-conference opponents involved in 2022-23 (Dec. 5 at IUPUI 2-of-14, Dec. 10 vs. Eastern Illinois 2-of-8), three consecutive games in 2016-17 (Nov. 22 vs. Wisconsin 1-of-10, Nov. 25 vs. LIU Brooklyn 1-of-8, and Nov. 26 at Vermont 1-of-16), and in 2004-05 (Dec. 12 vs. Northwestern 2-of-10, Dec. 28 vs. Iowa 2-of-17).

Against conference opponents, Milwaukee had a four-game stretch at the end of the 2000-01 regular season and spanning into Midwestern Collegiate Conference postseason play: Mar. 4 at Wright State (1-for-9), Mar. 8 vs. Wright State in MCC First Round (0-for-3), Mar. 9 vs. Loyola Chicago in MCC Semifinals (2-for-12), and Mar. 10 vs. Green Bay in the MCC Championship Game (2-for-18).

BUWALDA BOARDS LEADS TO WINS
During the team’s road win over Green Bay on March 2, Jorey Buwalda was Milwaukee’s leading rebounder ending the game with seven boards. The Panthers are 8-2 in games when Buwalda is Milwaukee’s leader in rebounding. The freshman has recorded double-digits in rebounding in four games this season with the Panthers scoring wins in all four of those meetings.

CERA’S SHOT IS STAYING HOT
Since January 18, Angie Cera has made better than 40 percent of her shot attempts at 41-for-92 (44.6 percent) to lead all guards in field goal percentage. Over that span she has knocked down a team-best 21 three pointers on 51 attempts, while also leading the team from the free throw line with 28 of 34. Over her last 12 games she leads the team, averaging 10.9 points per game.

THE RACE TO 100
On February 17, Angie Cera became the first of potentially three Panthers to reach the milestone of 100 made three-point baskets during their collegiate careers this season. Cera is now 104-for-330 for her career, Kendall Nead also reached the mark on February 24 against Oakland and has 104 makes on 353 attempts. Closing in on the century mark is Kamy Peppler has 93 career makes from three in just 61 career games.

SOPHOMORE ASSIST RECORD…AND MORE
Against Northern Kentucky on February 10, Kamy Peppler reached 136 assists on the season to break the record for assists in a season by a sophomore, the previous record was 135 assists, which was set by Pam Bartnik during her sophomore season in 1991-92.

Earlier in the year on January 18 vs. Oakland, Peppler finished the game with a new career high of 14 assists, which tied the program record for assists in a game that had stood since January 17, 1994, when Bartnik also had 14 assists against Marquette during the team’s fourth Division I season.

Peppler’s total this season is second in the Horizon League and already passes her freshman year mark of 100 set a season ago. With her freshman year total, she became the first player with more than 100 assists in a season since McKaela Schmelzer had 114 in 2018-19. She also became the first player to record at least 100 assists in back-to-back seasons since Angela Rodriguez had 168 in 2013-14, following her 114 assists in 2012-13.

SINGLE-SEASON ASSISTS
1. Angela Rodriguez (2013-14): 168
2. Pam Bartnik (1993-94): 153

AT THE LINE FOR MILWAUKEE
Milwaukee is third in the Horizon League and 15th in NCAA Division I this season in free throw percentage, connecting on 78.1 percent from the charity stripe.

The Panthers are led by Angie Cera, who is 62-for-69 (89.9 percent) on the season, while Jada Donaldson is 23-for-26, Grace Crowley is 34-for-42 and Anna Lutz is 28-for-35.  Jorey Buwalda has connected on a team-best 70 free throws on 86 attempts on the year and is also above the team average.

FINDING WINS IN THE PAINT
In the team’s win over Robert Morris on January 11, the Panthers got a lot of production from their forwards, with the quartet combining for 31 of Milwaukee’s 73 points. As a team, the Panthers scored 44 points in the paint against RMU, their second-highest total this season with 64 against Viterbo being its highest mark.

When Milwaukee scores more than 25 points in the paint, the Panthers have a 12-6 record, while the team is 4-9 when scoring fewer than 25 points in the paint. Milwaukee’s three wins when scoring fewer than 25 points in the paint came against Eastern Illinois on December 15, Youngstown State on January 13, Robert Morris on January 31 and Green Bay on March 2, the team’s season low came back in the season opener against Wisconsin with just 16 points in the paint.

DONALDSON’S ATR
With three assists and two turnovers against Green Bay, Jada Donaldson now has a 2.39 assist/turnover ratio this season and is second in the Horizon League. That number is well above her career average of 2.03 assists to turnovers, with 191 assists and 94 turnovers in 102 career games.

Donaldson is 27th in all of Division I with ratio, as the national leader is Kiara Jackson at UNLV with a 3.21 (135 assists/42 turnovers).

Milwaukee as a team has a 0.97 assist/turnover ratio (505 assists/521 turnovers), which is third-best in the Horizon League and 98th in the nation. Green Bay leads the conference and the nation with a 1.73 assist/turnover ratio.

TOPS IN MINUTES
Milwaukee has been able to rely heavily on its veteran leaders to help lead the way with four players averaging 28-plus minutes per game. Jada Donaldson leads the team at 32.9 minutes per game, followed by Kamy Peppler at 32.2 minutes per contest. Kendall Nead is third on the team at 30.9 minutes per contest, while Angie Cera averages 28.8 minutes per game. All four Panthers are in the top-25 in the Horizon League in minutes per game.

OFFENSIVE BOARDS TURNING INTO POINTS
The Panthers recorded double-digit offensive rebounds in nine of their last 18 contests in 2022-23 and made the most of their chances. In that span during 2022-23 Milwaukee totaled 161 second-chance points.

The Panthers have registered double-digit offensive boards in 16 of their 31 games during the regular season including a season-best 20 against Viterbo on December 20. Milwaukee has scored 302 second chance points this year, including a season-high 22 second-chance points against Viterbo, the Panthers also had 21 second-chance points at Youngstown State on February 3. Milwaukee has earned more second-chance points than their opponents in 15 of their 31 game this season.

MAGIC NUMBER
In college basketball, there is no perfect recipe for a win but for Milwaukee, field goal percentage has been a pretty good baseline.

In the last eight seasons, Milwaukee is 108-37 (.745) when hitting at least 40 percent from the field. Bump that field goal percentage to 43 percent and the Panthers are 92-20 (.821).

When shooting under 40 percent since 2016-17, Milwaukee is just 26-76 (.255). The Panthers are 1-8 in contests this season, when shooting under 40 percent.

KEEPING THE FOULS DOWN
Over the past two seasons, when Milwaukee has committed 11 fouls or fewer, the Panthers are 11-1. On the contrary, the Panthers are 7-18 when they have committed 18 or more fouls in a contest.

UNDER PRESSURE
While close games are fun and exciting for fans, such games have not been as favorable for the Panthers this season as Milwaukee is now 1-5 in games decided by five points or fewer. It took until the final game of the regular season to get their first win by five points or fewer, knocking off league-leading Green Bay, 65-61 on Saturday afternoon.

The Panthers had their closest game of the season on February 10 versus Northern Kentucky, a 67-66 loss to the Norse at home. MKE also lost games to Detroit Mercy (Jan. 20; 54-52), St. Thomas (Dec. 7; 67-65), UIC (Nov. 12; 73-70), and Cleveland State (Jan. 1; 65-59). By comparison the Panthers are 15-10 when games are decided by six or more points, including their 1-0 mark in overtime with a 93-87 win over Wright State on January 26.

UNBLEMISHED AT THE LINE
During the team’s game at Youngstown State on February 3, the Panthers went 9-for-9 from the free throw line. It was the first time a Panther team had that many made free throws in a game without a miss since January 15, 2021, against Cleveland State. Milwaukee also had an 8-for-8 performance at Purdue Fort Wayne on February 15.

ONE-HUNDRED PERCENT
For the first time in program history a Panther finished a game with a 100.0 percent shooting percent, with a minimum of 10 shots taken as Grace Crowley went 10-for-10 during the team’s game at Youngstown State on February 3.

The previous record for field goal percentage in a game came back on March 3, 2016, when Steph Kostowicz finished 13-for-14 from the floor for a 92.9 percent. Earlier this season, Anna Lutz made a push for the record as well and finished 11-for-12 at Oakland on January 18. Lutz finished the game with a 91.7 percent from the floor, which now places her third behind Crowley and Kostowicz.

DEFENDING THE THREE OF RMU
In its game at Robert Morris on January 31, the Milwaukee defense held Robert Morris without a three-point make through the Colonials’ first 18 attempts. RMU made their first three ball with 56 seconds left in the third and finished the game 4-for-26.

For the season, Milwaukee has allowed a total of six three-point makes on 45 attempts for a total of 13.3 percent. Earlier this season, the Panthers held RMU to a season-best 2-of-19 effort as the Colonials shot just 10.5 percent from three at the Klotsche Center on January 11.

The last time Milwaukee held a team scoreless from beyond the arc was against Marquette on December 8, 2021, as the Golden Eagles went 0-for-3 on the game.

CRASHING THE GLASS
In the January 26 overtime matchup at home against Wright State, the Panthers had a season-best 49 rebounds, eclipsing its previous mark of 48 rebounds on the road against the Raiders earlier in the month at the Nutter Center on January 5.

The last time Milwaukee had at least 49 rebounds in a single game came last season when MKE ripped down 56 boards in overtime win against Boise State. The last time the Panthers had at least 48 rebounds in a regulation game was on December 2, 2021, in a loss at Youngstown State at the Beeghly Center, while the last time Milwaukee won a regulation game with at least 48 rebounds was on March 19, 2021, with 51 rebounds against Drake in the WNIT.

DE-FENSE, DE-FENSE
In their best defensive showing of the season statistically, Milwaukee held Robert Morris to a season-best 27.6 percent from the field on January 31, which was the first time the Panthers held an opponent to under 30.0 percent from the floor since last season’s home win against Purdue Fort Wayne on February 23, 2023, when the Mastodons connected on just 24.1 percent.

The Colonials made just 16 of their 48 attempts overall, which is one more make than Viterbo had on December 20. Meanwhile, RMU also struggled from beyond the arc early having missed their first 18 attempts from three before finishing the game 4-for-8 from beyond the arc.

A HELPING HAND
With 27 assists during the team’s win over McNeese, Milwaukee had the most assists in a single game since the team recorded its program record of 31 set back in December 2012 against Bradley in double overtime. The Panthers nearly tied their mark on January 26, with a 26-assist effort in overtime against Wright State at the Klotsche Center.

The last time Milwaukee had at least 27 assists in a regulation game came back in 2000, when the Panthers had 28 against Central Michigan in December of that year. The team also had 28 assists against Chicago State in January of 2000, while the only other time Milwaukee had 27 assists in a game came back in January of 1991, during its inaugural Division I season against Northeastern Illinois.

GRACE’S TIME IN OVERTIME
During the team’s overtime victory over the Wright State Raiders on January 26, Grace Crowley scored seven of Milwaukee’s 14 points in the extra session while pulling down four rebounds. Her totals in overtime gave Crowley her first-career double-double finishing the game with 15 points and 10 rebounds.

A PAIR OF 20s
For the second time this season, Milwaukee had two players record 20 points in the same game as Jada Donaldson had a career-best 20 points, while Anna Lutz had 20 of her own in the team’s win over Wright State on January 26. Milwaukee also had a pair of 20-point games back in November, when Kendall Nead had 38 and Kamy Peppler added 22 in the team’s win over McNeese.

OVERTIME HISTORY
Milwaukee picked up the win in overtime on January 26 by a 93-87 margin over Wright State at the Klotsche Center, marking the first Panther appearance in overtime since November 27, 2023, against Boise State. The Panthers are 21-23 in all-time overtime contests and are 9-6 in their last 15 games that have gone to overtime. The Panthers have only gone to double overtime on 10 occasions in program history, most recently in January of 2021 at IUPUI in an 85-83 win.

DOUBLE-FIGURE STREAK
Reaching double figures in scoring for the first 14 games of the season, Kendall Nead put together the longest run of double-digit scoring performances since former teammate Megan Walstad had a stretch of 14 games during the 2021-22 season from January 8 to February 24.

Nead scored at least 10 points through the team’s first 14 games, which had not been done to open a season since 2017-18 when Steph Kostowicz also opened the year with 14 consecutive games in double-figure scoring. Nead had her streak snapped against Cleveland State on January 1.

HISTORIC NIGHT VERSUS THE V-HAWKS
Milwaukee blitzed the Viterbo V-Hawks on December 20, recording a 100-37 victory in its non-conference finale at the Klotsche Center. The 63-point scoring margin was the largest margin of victory for the team in Division I program history, with the previous mark coming on February 2, 2002, against Youngstown State, when the Panthers won by a 100-46 score.

The 100-point mark for Milwaukee was the first time the Panthers had reached the century mark in a regulation contest since the dual with Youngstown State at home in 2002. In the showing against the Penguins, Milwaukee connected on a then program record of 14 three-pointers, while this time around against the V-Hawks the Panthers only had six three-pointers, while making 39-of-69 from the field overall.

The 39 field goals tied the program record of makes in a regulation contest, set back in the team’s inaugural Division I season, when the team also made 39 against Northeastern Illinois on January 22, 1991. The overall program record is 46, during a double-overtime matchup against Bradley on December 4, 2012.

The defense stood up against the Viterbo offense, yielding just 37 points the fewest since the February 23, 2023, matchup at home against Purdue Fort Wayne that saw Milwaukee win by a 64-34 score. In that game, Milwaukee held the Mastodons to just 11 points in the first half to set a new program record, the Panthers nearly tied that mark as MKE allowed just 12 first-half points to Viterbo on December 20.

SWEET 17
For the first time in a regulation game, the Milwaukee Panthers connected on 17 three-pointers in a single game during the team’s win over Central Michigan on November 25. It was the first time the Panthers had 17 in a single contest since December 4, 2012, when the team also had 17 in a double-overtime matchup against Bradley.

Milwaukee’s previous mark for three-pointers in a regulation game was 16 on November 18, 2014, at North Dakota, while it was Milwaukee’s most three-pointers in a home game in regulation since December 31, 2010, against Wright State with 15. Under Kyle Rechlicz, the team’s most three-pointers in a home regulation game was 14 against Cleveland State on February 11, 2017.

20/20 VISION
Milwaukee had its leading scorer score at least 20 points during the team’s six-game stretch from November 12-25, including Kamy Peppler against UIC (25), Kendall Nead against Louisiana Monroe (21), and McNeese (38), Jorey Buwalda against Mississippi Valley (20), Nead again against Edgewood (20), and Anna Lutz versus Central Michigan (23).

It’s the first time Milwaukee has had a leading scorer reach at least 20 points over a six-game stretch since the 2015-16 season, when Milwaukee had it happen in eight consecutive games. From mid-February to early March, Jenny Lindner had 23 points for Milwaukee versus Youngstown State, followed by Steph Kostowicz against Valparaiso (27), and UIC (24), Sierra Ford-Washington led Milwaukee against Northern Kentucky (24), and Wright State (26), followed by Lindner and Kostowicz with 32 each against Oakland, Lindner against Detroit Mercy (20), in postseason play against Wright State (31).

NEAD’S NIGHT IN LOUISIANA
During the team’s win against host McNeese at the Multi-Team Event in Lake Charles, Louisiana, junior Kendall Nead scored 38 points for a career-best, while also becoming just the third difference Panther to score at least 38 points in a game. All-Time leading scorer Traci Edwards reached 38 twice in her career, including the program record of 45 in February 2008, Edwards also scored 42 points in January 2007. Andrea Filipek in January 1999 was the only other Panther to reach 38+ points in a game.

Nead connected on 17 field goals against McNeese as she tied the single-game record for field goals made in a game. She finished the game 17-for-23 from the field with three of those coming from three-point range including her final two makes with 7:32 and 7:03 left in the fourth quarter. Traci Edwards held the top spot alone since January of 2007 as the only player to score 17 field goals in a game prior to Nead.

Nead’s 23 attempts were also the third-most in a game, while her shooting percentage was also third-best among the now five players all time to score at least 14 field goals in a game. Avyanna Young shot 15-for-19 (78.9%), while Maria Viall was 14-for-18 (77.7%), Nead slots into third at 73.9%, followed by Jenny Lindner at 14-for-24 (58.3%), and Traci Edwards at 17-for-33 (53.5%). No player in Milwaukee history has ever ended a game with 16 field goals made.
