Today in local basketball, in fact a game, concluded in the last few minutes it was Kenosha
Indian Trail defeating Richland Center 5756. In a battle at Richland Center High School
Fieldhouse, the Hornets lose by a point to a tough team today. Also it was Plattville
getting the win in Boyz Basketball 73-68 against New Glarris. A victory today for Wisconsin
Dells over Altoona 54-45. And Kikapu as a winner against Black Hawk 61-57. Madeline
Placelet Black Hawk with 23 points. Jaden Snagel topped Kikapu scoring with 24 and
Michaela Kaufman added 15. Some games going on yet today, Highland and Darlington, McFarlane
and Readsburg as well, in Area Girls Basketball. The Ithaca Alumni Basketball Tournament
is going on tonight. The women's game will start at 6. The men's game will start at 7.30.
Currently there's a three-point contest going on as well. They're looking forward to hosting
that event. And one of the organizers is Ithaca Boyz Basketball Coach Aaron Hipsch.
So this is the second annual alumni game, Boyz and Girls. But it's just kind of starting
to get going. Maybe as we get our feet under ourselves a little bit, it can turn into
a tournament. But it's a great opportunity for people to support the programs, come back
and see some of your former classmates, former teammates play a little ball. And maybe
some of the mom and dad that can show their kids that they still got it. All proceeds
will be going to the Ithaca Girls and Boyz Basketball programs.
Have you had good response so far?
Yeah, absolutely. It hasn't been difficult at all to find people to play. So I think the
response is growing as we get going. Like I said, it's only the second year, but as this
gets going and the word of mouth passes around, I think it can only go up from here.
Everyone, welcome tonight. There'll also be a silent auction going on during Ithaca
alumni basketball. Again, the women's game gets underway at six and the men's game will
follow today in college basketball Nebraska over UCLA 66 to 58. The Packers corner back
Jair Alexander has been placed on injured reserve due to the knee issue that has side-dying
him for the last six games. Packers coach Matt LaFleur already had said this week that
the two-time pro ball selection was undergoing surgery and probably wouldn't play again
this season. The Packers put him on injured reserve officially today. They are 11 and
five. They also elevated linebacker Michael Barrett and safety Omar Brown from the practice
squad to the active roster for tomorrow's regular season finale with the Bears. The
Packers have clinched a wildcard birth into the playoffs. This week it was announced that
running back Josh Jacobs has made the pro ball.
Like I said, man, I feel like if you go about things the right way, you come in every day
willing to work in all the accolades and all the other kind of things as if it's a
care of yourself in the end. So I just come in and you know, it's how to be a better
version of me today. I guess I'm reaping that right now.
Starting your basketball, John Blackwell said career highs with 32 points and six three
pointers. The Badgers finished with the program. Best 21 makes from beyond the arc at 116.85
victory over Iowa yesterday. Badger, previous best three point mark was 18 in a win over
Nebraska in 2020. The box get back to action tonight, getting set for more play after losing
again to the Brooklyn Nets earlier this week. Bobby Portis talked about what the team
must do. I think the biggest thing is the effort. I keep going back to that. Got to put
more into the game to get the results that you want. It's hard to win an NBA. It's hard
to win in this league, but the team that put forth the little effort into the little
small details on the teams that win these games when you need them the most.
And the Chicago Bulls planned to retire Derek Rose as Jersey next season. The team says
president and CEO Michael Reinstorf informed the Chicago product and former MVP in person
on Saturday. That is number one will be sent to the rafters sometime during next season.
