Salute the seniors

Normally, I’d preview the day’s opponent. And if I get a chance to do it, maybe I will in the morning.

But more important than the game, at least to me, is the acknowledgment of three seniors who worked extremely hard these past several years to bring their best effort in representing our program.

Tony Meier, Kaylon Williams, and Ryan Allen are some of the most deserving seniors we’ve had in nearly a decade. The three of them combined to make up important pieces in the first Horizon League Champion in Milwaukee in five years, the 2011 Regular Season Championship.

They set records and milestones. Kaylon Williams already owns the D-I school assists record. Ryan Allen is a handful of blocks away from the single season blocks record. And Tony Meier has a legitimate shot at scoring his 1,000th point as a Milwaukee Panther, a plateau only a select few have achieved.

So keep that in mind today.
