Craig Greene
 was a Panther while the program was transitioning to the NCAA Division I level – his career spanned 1989 to 1993 – and was one of the most successful of his era. When he graduated, his DI totals of 1,174 points and 505 rebounds both ranked No. 1 on the career list. His overall collegiate totals include 1,216 points and 557 rebounds – one of nine players in the all-time history of MKE basketball to cross both the 1,000-point/500-rebound thresholds. He led the team in scoring as both a junior (16.9 ppg) and senior (career-high 17.3 points per game) and also topped the roster in rebounding both of those campaigns (5.8 rpg/6.9 rpg).
 
Upon graduation, Greene held the school record for most blocks with 87 (87 of his 99 career blocks came in the DI era), a number that stood until it was finally broken in 2016. He was also Top 5 in rebounds (505), field goal attempts (886), field-goal percentage (.497), three-point field goals made (124), and three-point field-goal percentage (.423), as well as Top 10 in steals (114) and free-throw percentage (.762, a number which climbs to .771 if you include his non-D1 statistics).
 
Greene was one of the faces of the program his final two seasons and is remembered for his 23 points and nine rebounds in a December 1992 victory over Wisconsin. That 77-72 victory over the Badgers remained the only time the Panthers topped UW until 23 years later in December of 2015.
