+ | MU was leading, 37-26, a little over 3 minutes into the second half when foul trouble began to become an issue. Hayward, who was held to just four points in the first half, was whistled for his third personal on a charge and sent to the bench with 16 minutes 28 seconds remaining. A little more than a minute later, freshman [[Jeronne Maymon]], back after a one-game absence because of a hip pointer, picked up his fourth, and the Golden Eagles were forced to go even smaller. | ||

+ | Not helping UWM was a nearly silent night from leading scorer and rebounder James Eayrs, who was held to just two points and one board in 22 minutes. | ||

+ | The run eventually wound up being 14-4, and sent MU into the locker room with a 30-19 lead. | ||

+ | Williams said his focus ever since the loss to NC State was on the defensive end, helping pave the way to forcing the Panthers into 12 first-half turnovers, and 20 for the game. | ||
