Marquette hopes that a week of rest and shooting practice will fix a shooting slump

when Seton Hall visits the Pfizer forum for a game tonight. The Golden Eagles won last time out,

but the team's cold three-point shooting continued. In the last four games, only 30 of 108 three

pointers found the mark. Marquette hasn't played since last Tuesday, and Coach Shaka Smart thinks

the extra rest will help. The pirates only have a 7-18 record, but they're still riding the high

of an upset win over the two-time defending national champion Yukon Huskies in their last game.

The Wisconsin Badgers, doing well in the polls and moving up, the Red Hot Badgers moved up

another five spots. Coach Greg Guards team has now raided 11th after a four-game winning streak.

That's the highest ranking for any big 10 squad, although Michigan Purdue and Michigan State

are close behind. Marquette gained two spots to number 16 after beating DePaul in its only action.

The Badgers play ball tonight. They'll be hosting the Eli Nye from Illinois.

Last night, it was Arizona over Baylor 74-67 and number three Duke over Virginia 80-62.

Elsewhere in sports, the Wisconsin Athletics Department has found its new general manager of the

football program right inside the building. Marquette Sedbury has been serving as the deputy athletic

director, Chief Operating Officer for Wisconsin Athletics since 2022. ESPN reported his promotion

on Monday. Athletic director Chris McIntosh says Sedbury's leadership and vision make him ideal

for the job. Most recently, he had an important role in building a comprehensive player personnel

and revenue-sharing strategy for the department as it competes in a changing world of college

athletics. I'm Phil Ney with Look at Tuesday Sports.

With a look at tonight's high school events, here's Phil Ne.

There is team sectional wrestling this evening, GET Meroz-Bendoro is wrestling Belmont

Plattville, and Phenomore is taking on Lodi with the winners to meet in the sectional

final.

Division three at Mineral Point, Aquinas versus Iowa Grand Highland, and Mineral Point

against Royal Winniwak Center, and they will wrestle off for the right to go to state

later tonight at eight o'clock.

In boys basketball, Ithaca, Ed LaFarge, Iowa Grant at Casville, Lancaster at Wazika

Stuban, North Crawford at Royal for a really good showdown in boys basketball, one

loss between those two teams.

in area girls basketball.

Larry Swigham is the coach of the Riverdale Girls.

They've got four or five leading scorers or seniors, they've got experience, and they

also play in a tough conference and coming at 14 and seven, so it's going to be a really

nice opportunity for us to prepare for next week.

Here's the action tonight on WRC OFM 100.9 and WRC.com, River Ridge at Riverdale, one

week away from the opening of the WIA Girls Basketball Tournament.

The Red Hot Wisconsin Badgers moved up another five positions in this week's AP College

Basketball Poll.

Coach Greg Guards team is ranked 11th every four game winning streak.

The highest ranking for any big 10 squad, although Michigan Purdue and Michigan State

are close behind.

Our cut gained two spots to number 16 after beating DePaul in its only action.

And for the Badgers, the number 11 Wisconsin Badgers, they host Illinois tonight, and that's

after John Tanji scored 32 points in Wisconsin's 94 to 84 victory against the Purdue Boyle

Makers on Saturday.

The Badgers are 12 and 1 in home games, Wisconsin averages 81.5 points while it's going

opponents by 11 points per game.

Tip off from the cold center this evening will be at 7.30 and you'll be able to hear

the broadcast of that game on WRC, 107.7 and AM 14.50 also on WRC.fm and on the Civic

Media app pregame for the broadcast will start at 6.30.

As far as Marquette goes, they hope a week of rest and shooting practice will fix a shooting

slump when Seton Hall visits the Pfizer forum for a game tonight.

The goal equals one last time out, but the team's cold three point shooting continued.

In the last four games, only 30 of 108 three pointers found the mark was Marquette hadn't

played since last Tuesday and coach Shaka Smart thinks the extra rest will help.

The primates have only a 7 and 18 record, but they're still writing high of an upset

win over the two time defending national champions Yukon Huskies in their last game.

And amid complaints about the new look of the latest NBA All-Star weekend, Bucks forward

Giannis Apto Ticupo has some suggestions.

He thinks the league should take the annual event to the international stage.

Apto Ticupo says the game could be played between an American team and starts from the

Euro league.

The Milwaukee standout says the 2027 All-Star game should be played in Rio de Janeiro or

in China.
