Over the course of the rest of the month of May we will look at the roster that has been assembled. Up next is Dylan Page.
Page become the first-ever Panther to earn Horizon League Player of the Year honors when he won the award following the 2003-04 campaign. The Horizon League's leading scorer for the season, he ranked in the top 10 in the league in seven statistical categories. A National Association of Basketball Coaches First-Team All-DisÂtrict 11 honoree, Page held or shared team-high scoring honors 20 times during the season. He was in double-figures in scoring in all 27 regular-season games, while scoring 20 or more points 17 times. He was named the Horizon League Player of the Week twice and added three double-doubles in 2003-04, giving him five for his career. His career point total wrapped up at 1,388, making him one of just seven Panthers to have passed the 1,000-point barrier since UWM moved back to the Division I ranks in 1990.
