Filney has a look at tonight's area activities.

Russell Center plays at Verokwa, an area girls basketball, and Sock Prairie is at River

Valley.

With Crawford is at Westby. Riverdale makes up a game against Boscoville, a team they've

just played on Friday night. That one is coming up this evening, Lodi at Partyville, also

in Girls Basketball, Bangor, Host Nielsville, Bellville at Lancaster, Darlington at River

Ridge, Benton is at Blackhawk, and Hillsboro at Wozika Stuban.

Boys basketball, Wozika Stuban makes up a game at Kikapoo, New Lisbon at Port Edwards,

and Plattville visits Edgewood, plus coming up on the radio, Waniwak Center at Riverdale,

in Boys Basketball. The Chieftains are coached by Chris Kenyon.

Our conference has always been tough. Look, had to look it up and see, you know, the last

time that we have one four conference games in the season was 2003. So I know we're all

a lot younger than, so I don't know, it's always nice to start looking back on stuff

like that when you're, when you're starting to have some success.

Riverdale coach Chris Kenyon here the game tonight, Waniwak Center plays at Riverdale.

It's senior night for the Riverdale Boys basketball team. The Vitesnik Power Sports

spring game show begins around 715. I'm Phil Ne.

Injury plagued Chris Middleton will be out of action for a while with what his coach

Doc Rivers calls a bad ankle sprain. Middleton was knocked out of last week's loss at Phoenix

in the first quarter. He is the last two games and isn't going to be ready for tonight's

game against Denver. Some unofficial speculation has the six foot seven forward side lined

until after the all-star break. The Bucks have a 34 and 19 record. Good for third place

in the Eastern Conference. Seven games behind Boston. And that game between the Denver

Nuggets and the Milwaukee Bucks can be heard tonight on WRC, 107.7 and AM 1450.

Tip off that contest from Pfizer form will be at seven with the pregame starting at

around 630. The Badgers suffered their fourth straight loss while trailing the whole game

at Rutgers on Saturday, 78 to 56. 15 points behind by sophomore Connor Asigen let the Wisconsin

scoring AJ store added 14 and they never managed to cut the lead to single digits in the

second half. The Badgers overall record falls to 16 and eight, including eight and five

in the big 10 conference games. All four losses came in conference games. The Badgers

will host Ohio State Tuesday night. That'll be tomorrow night and you'll be able to hear

that broadcast on WRC, 107.7 AM 1450 as well as online at WRC dot FM and on the Civic

Media app pregame for that contest will be at seven with the tip off at eight o'clock.

In this week's AP men's college basketball rankings, the Wisconsin Badgers fell 9 spots

from number 11 to number 20. Indiana State is ranked for the first time since Larry

Bird played at Tara Hot. The sickamores are on a nine game winning streak and have one

of the nation's best shooting teams. Yukon remains at number one in this week's poll and

Purdue held steady at number two, number three Houston, number four Marquette and number

five Arizona all moved up following losses by Kansas and North Carolina. Iowa State is

back in the top 10 for the first time since the 21 22 season. And the Kansas City Chiefs

are a dynasty and already are looking to become the first team to three feet in the Super Bowl

era. They're underdogs to do it, getting to New Orleans to play for the Vince Lombardi

trophy next February will be difficult for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. There's no

guarantee Travis Kelsey isn't retiring. Chris Jones is set to become a free agent and even

coach Andy Reed could write off into the sunset. Perhaps that's why the Chiefs aren't

the betting favorites to win the Super Bowl next year.
