What to Know
Milwaukee has enjoyed a two-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They and the Green Bay Phoenix are set to clash at 9:00 p.m. ET on Thursday at Kress Center in a Horizon League postseason contest. Green Bay took a loss in their last matchup and will be looking to turn the tables on Milwaukee, who comes in off a win.
Last Tuesday, Milwaukee's game was all tied up 35-35 at the half, but luckily for them it didn't stay that way. They managed a 83-79 victory over the Titans.
Milwaukee can attribute much of their success to BJ Freeman, who dropped a double-double on 30 points and ten rebounds.

The team also got some help courtesy of Faizon Fields, who scored 13 points along with six rebounds.
Meanwhile, Green Bay managed to keep up with Milwaukee until halftime on Saturday, but things quickly went downhill from there. The Phoenix were the victim of a bruising 90-69 loss at the hands of the Panthers. Green Bay found out winning isn't easy when you're outrebounded 17 to 5 on offense.
