WRCL sports is sponsored this evening by Schwartz Insurance, your Wilson Mutual Insurance

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.
It's DeSoto at Brookwood, Sock Prairie is at Barrow Boo and Portage at Readsburg, Highland
at River Ridge.
Girls basketball Hillsboro at New Lisbon, Moskebel at Kikapoo, Royal at Cashton, WNC and Bangor
at Brookwood, Shoesburg at Southwestern, Lancaster at Pecotonic Argyle, Verokwa at DeSoto.
Richland Center girls are at LaCrosse Logan, Ithaca at Highland, Westby at North Crawford,
the Toci Casville at Plattville, Albany Monticello at River Valley, and River Ridge at Riverdale
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.
I'm Phil Ne for WRC Sports.
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.
The Wisconsin athletics department has found its new general manager of the football program
right inside the building.
Marquette has been serving as the deputy athletic director chief operating officer for Wisconsin
athletics since 2022.
ESPN reports his promotion on Monday, athletic director Chris McIntosh says said Barry's
leadership and vision made him ideal for the job.
Most recently, he had an important role in building a comprehensive player personnel and
revenues sharing strategy for the department as it competes in a changing world of college
athletics.
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.
