Josh Dixon scores 28 to propel Milwaukee to 81-71 victory over Cleveland State

On Dec. 21, 2025, Josh Dixon scored 28 points to lead UW-Milwaukee Panthers to an 81-71 road win at Cleveland State Vikings at the Wolstein Center.
Starting for the second straight game with the roster thin, injuries left the Panthers decimated, forcing 6-foot-1, 160-pound freshman Josh Dixon into the starting lineup after Seth Hubbard went down.
Supporting that surge, UWM's bench and forwards, including Josh Dixon, shot 10 for 19 overall, with 19 points after halftime, as UWM dominated the glass with a 48-29 edge and committed a season-low five turnovers.
With the win, Milwaukee sits atop the Horizon League, improving to 6-6 overall and 2-0 in conference while Cleveland State dropped to 4-10 and 0-3 heading into the Christmas break.
Building on back-to-back career highs, Josh Dixon's 28 points were the most by a UWM freshman since Roderick Johnson's 31 on Feb. 14, 1996, and the fourth-most in school history, with Cleveland State off until Dec. 29 hosting IU Indy.
