MILWAUKEE - The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee men's basketball team invites season-ticket holders and Full-Court Club members to check out the Panthers during one of their well-known preseason conditioning workouts.

The Panther men are back running St. Mary's Hill, just across from Bradford Beach, twice a week during September and early October. Fans can watch the team in action during the conditioning work Thurs., Oct. 1, at 4:30 p.m. during a special preseason event - "Running With The Panthers." The team will run "The Hill" 18 times that day as the Panthers move closer to the first day of official practice.

The event is free, with food provided by Jimmy Johns. Parking is available on Lincoln Memorial Drive and in adjacent county lots. The event will last approximately 45 minutes, and will be cancelled if there is inclement weather at any time during the day Thursday.

Interested season-ticket holders and Full-Court Club members are asked to RSVP for the event by contacting Brian Morgan in the UWM Ticket Office by phone at 414-229-5886 or by email at uwmtix@uwm.edu.
