Bailey Farley poured in a career-high 22 points on 8-of-12 shooting.
Milwaukee (17-8, 9-5 Horizon) used a 17-5 run early in the third quarter to turn an 11-point deficit into a one-point lead and then made some clutch shots down the stretch for the big win.
"This was a team victory through and through," Milwaukee head coach Kyle Rechlicz said. "Our team just fought with so much heart. To start the second half we were down by 10 and we have no quit. We just have a mentality that we can play with anybody and that we're never going to give up. I'm really proud of the effort that we gave and there were so many great individual performances that we can really build on as we move into the Green Bay game on Friday."
As a team, UWM had a season-high 21 assists and tied its season best with 14 made three pointers.
Up next, the Panthers continue their four-game home stand with a game next Friday against Green Bay.
