Congratulations to Akeem for reaching his 1000th career point last night as part of an 18-point MVP effort against Ohio State! With 712 of his points coming at Milwaukee, I believe that D. Kelly and I agree that Akeem ranks among the five or six best shooting guards to ever play at Milwaukee. He becomes the second expatriate Panther to score his 1,000 point this season after Austin Arians turned the trick for Wake Forest in November.

Owing to the decisions made by a school administration hellbent on change at any cost, Akeem's stay here was one year too short. What a year it might have been!
