Playing at home always big, especially in these conference games, we want to just stick
around, keep it close, get it into that second half. The pressure is on them. They're
five and oh, they've got a nice lead in the conference, so we can come in confident and
loose and just give it our all and hopefully get it into that second half and make them
play a little bit tighter, and see if we can make some plays down the stretch.
Platteville at Richland Center, our featured game tonight in Moys Basketball with a pre-game
time-sponsored by a testing power sports beginning around 715. I'm Filney.
Platte Badgers failed to hold a five-point half-time lead in yesterday's 76-68 loss to
Maryland. That's two losses in the last three games. The Terrapins used a 14-to-2 run
to take control of the game and build the lead to double digits at one point.
John Tonjay's topped Wisconsin with 23 points. Poor shooting doomed the Badgers as their
record fell to six and four in the big 10 conference and 17 and five overall. Coach
Greg Dard's team is on the road again Saturday with a game at Northwestern. The Wisconsin
men's hockey team is preparing for a border battle weekend against Archrival Minnesota
just in time for the big 10 series that Badgers have joined. The number four golfers will
bring a ten four and two conference record into the game. Junior forward Jimmy Snuggerdug.
Stuggerd, I should say, leads the way with 18 goals and 19 assists in 28 games. Gold
tender Nathan Erie has an 11 and four record and 9.901 save per percentage and gives up
an average of two and a half goals per game. Packer's safety Xavier McKinney predicts his
teammate Quay Walker will soon be recognized as the best linebacker in the NFL. McKinney commented
during the appearance on the NFL spotlight podcast with host Ari Mirav. He says Walker is already
one of the best in the league. He started living up to his promise in the second half of the 2024
season. The Green Bay front office has to decide whether to pick up or decline Walker's five-year
option on his rookie contract. McKinney apparently sees this as an easy decision.
A solid senior season is helping Marquette Senior guard Cam Jones make his pitch for the NBA.
Jones is averaging almost 19 points more than six assists and just over four and a half
rebounds a game. It's possible he could become a lottery pick in the next draft. He scored in
double figures in every game. If he has a weakness it has been a falloff of his efficiency on
three pointers. Last year he was good on almost 41 percent. This year he's below 33 percent.
And former ball state coach Mike Neu has joined Illinois staff as a senior offensive assistant.
Neu went 40 and 63 at ball state from 2016 through 24. He was fired in November when ball state
had a three and seven record with two games remaining in its season. His 2020 ball state team
won a mid-american conference title and beat San Jose State in the Arizona ball. The first
ball victory in school history. The team finished 23rd in the associated press top 25. He previously
worked as quarterback coach Fort Elaine from 2012 through 13 and the New Orleans Saints from 2014
through 15. And once again we have the sports cancellation of the pass long tonight's kick-a-boo
at Seneca girls basketball game has been postponed. It will be made up on February 6th.
