On any given night, there's enough talent in the league where if a team hits some shots
and you don't hit some shots, you know, you could be in a dog fight.
And you got to be prepared for that and you got to expect it, especially a game against West.
And you know, you're always going to get their best effort.
They're always going to get ours.
And I think the kids are aware of that, so not a good thing.
Here's the game tonight on WRC-O-FM 100.9 in Richland Center,

After his cornerback, Nizier Forkrian has filed a suit against the NCAA over eligibility.
Forkrian is appealing a ruling earlier this week that denies his request for additional eligibility.
His federal suit alleges the NCAA is keeping him from profiting from his name, image, and likeness.
ESPN reports the player's attorneys are seeking a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction.
The window for a positive outcome is closing because Forkrian only has a week until he must declare for the NFL draft.
Standouts, Janisante Tukupo, and Damian Lillard will represent the Milwaukee Bucks again in this year's NBA All-Star game.
Lillard will be a reserve he's been with Milwaukee for two seasons and has made it to the midseason event twice.
The veteran guard has averaged 25.7 assists and almost 5 rebounds a game.
He's shooting 45% from the floor, 38% on three pointers, and connecting on more than 92% of his free throws.
Packers had coach Matt LaFleur has made a pair of important additions to his coaching staff.
DeMarcus Covington will lead the defensive line and Sean Manion will be promoted to quarterbacks coach.
Covington was the defensive coordinator for the New England Patriots last season.
Manion has served in Green Bay as an offensive assistant coach and LaFleur says he has already developed a strong relationship with quarterbacks.
Jordan Love and Malik Willis.
The Jacksonville Jaguars, I mean I'm sorry the Jacksonville Jaguars hired Green Bay assistant Anthony Campanale as a defensive coordinator and test him with the turning around one of the worst units in franchise history.
The Jaguars ranked 31st in yards allowed and 28th in points in 2024 under first year defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen.
Nielsen was fired along with coach Doug Peterson offensive coordinator press tailor and most of the staff.
Jacksonville hired former Tampa Bay offensive coordinator Liam Cohen to replace Peterson last week and Cohen tabbed Campanale as one of the first tires.
Many would argue it's his most important considering how poorly Jacksonville's defense has played in recent years.
And the Marquette's men's basketball program is taking a different approach to success.
At a time when most college rosters are spinning doors and transfers are bouncing from the campus to campus, Marquette's not playing that game.
The Golden Eagles have rolled up an 18 and three record by starting the same five players each time out.
Coach Shaka Smart's lineup of Cam Jones, Chase Ross, Stevie Mitchell, Ben Gold and David Joplin have combined for 555 college games all at the Milwaukee school.
It's been two years since a player came on board through the transfer portal.
