Men's College basketball today, John Tonjay had 27 points, and 17th ranked Wisconsin

Down by two, the Badgers went on a 14-3 run just after the halfway point of the second

half to take the lead for good, reserved Carter Gilmore scored seven points during the

decisive run and finished with 15 and seven rebounds.

The Wildcats were just one for six from the floor during the spurt.

The Badgers had lost two of three after a seven-game winning streak.

Jalen Leach had 23 points and seven assists for Northwestern, which found out Saturday

leading score Brooks Barnheiser is out for the season with a foot injury.

Washington was a winner over Minnesota today in Big Ten basketball, 71-68, and Michigan

edged Rutgers 66-63.

Tommy Lloyd and Bobby Hurley met near mid-core during pre-game, exchanging pleasant trees,

patting each other on the back, and afternoon of chirping and a late headbutt sent the coaches

in opposite directions by the time the rivalry game was over.

Frustrated with Arizona's constant chatter, Hurley waved Arizona State's players off the

floor following the Wildcats 81-72 road win to prevent any further escalation.

Tension of the rivalry game spilled over with 30 seconds left when Arizona State's BJ

Freeman headbutted Arizona's Caleb Love.

Both players were ejected following a review and Hurley sent his players up the tunnel instead

of shaking hands when the game ended.

Jimmy Butler remains part of the Miami Heat for now.

Darren Foxx is still with the Kings for now, and Golden State Coach Steve Kerr seemed

to indicate that the Warriors are seriously weighing their options.

Its NBA trade deadline countdown time, there could be chaos, there might not be much

of anything.

By Thursday afternoon's deadline, there will be answers, although perhaps not the answer

some fans are looking for for their teams.

The Clippers have traded PJ Tucker and Mo Bamba to the Utah Jazz for Paddy Mills and Drew

U-Banks.

There is a future second round draft pick involved in the deal as well.

The move gets the Clippers under the luxury tax threshold and provides potential flexibility

for their other additions they may have for the season.

Milwaukee Brothers catcher William Contreras agreed to a one-year contract guaranteeing $6.1

million avoiding an arbitration hearing.

A two-time all-star Contreras had asked for $6.5 million and had been offered $5.6 million

when proposed figures were exchanged.

His deal with the reigning National Essential Champions includes a team option for 2026.

Contreras 27, batted 281 with a 365 on-base percentage, 23 homers and 92 RBI's in 155 games

last year, and was an all-star for the second time in three seasons.

He hit 289 in 2023 with a 367 on-base percentage, 17 homers and 78 RBI's in 141 games.

And Russell Wilson doesn't want to talk about the Las Vegas Raiders.

The 36 year old quarterback is focused on returning to the Steelers.

Wilson was added to the Pro Bowl games as an alternate when Buffalo's Josh Ellen pulled

out this week is pending a free agency after spending one year in Pittsburgh.

He says, I've got a lot more ball left in me.

Wilson sidesteps several questions about potentially reuniting with former Seattle coach Pete

Carol in Las Vegas. The Raiders hired the 73-year-old Carol last month and speculation quickly followed

that Wilson might join him in Vegas. But Wilson insists Pittsburgh is his number one destination.
