Here is Phil me with a look at tonight's area schedule.

High school wrestling sectionals are underway at Prairie Dushin High School tonight for

area girls wrestlers that finished first through fourth last weekend at the WIA regionals.

Those basketball this evening, Patosi Castville is at Plattville, Wazika Stuban at Hillsboro,

Barnabelle at Highland, Westby at Black River Falls, and Cubacity at Southwestern.

In Boyz Basketball, Riverdale at Mineral Point, Iowa Grant visits Phenomore, and Boscow

Bell takes on Darlington, Southwestern is at Cubacity.

Barnabelle at Highland, Kikapu is a Dishoto in the region Valley, North Crawford at Wazika

Stuban, and Ithaca is at Seneca, Brookwood at Ashton, and Plattville plays a Dodgeville

in the Southwest Conference, plus coming up tonight on the radio, Lancaster at Richland

Center.

Hortons coach Brian Polz says this is a big game for the upcoming Seeding Weekend.

You know, the 13 and 8, so any time you can get a win against the team, you know, with

a winning record with those 13 wins, that helps you in the formula, you know, and in looking

at our subsectional, we have a number of teams that are really grouped close together

right around 500, you know, we're 10 and 11 going into this game.

And so, you know, it'd be huge for us to get a win against a team with 13 wins, it

helped us in that formula, it really pushed us to maximize our seed.

And, you know, if we lose, we're hopeful we're still looking at hosting at a first-round

tournament game, but tonight we go a long way towards getting that home game that first

round.

I'm around 715, and then it's Richland Center and Lancaster, live from the Richland Center

High School Fieldhouse at FM 100.9 and WRCO.com.

I'm Phil Me.

The Bucks were able to shake off the disappointing news about Bobby Portis's 25 game suspension

and beat the Clippers last night, 116 to 110.

It was the first game back from the NBA All-Star break for both teams, Milwaukee used a huge

fourth quarter to come from behind, 6 bucks scored in double figures, Yannis Center

to Coupon came back from injury to scored 23 points, and Brooke Lopez had 22, Milwaukee

travels to Washington DC tonight, and a Sunday game against Miami means it will be 3 games

in 4 days.

Damien Lillard won't be available for tonight's game with the Washington Wizards as the Milwaukee

Bucks play for a second straight night.

The Bucks announced today or this afternoon that Lillard had been ruled out for the game

as they managed his injury injured right hamstring.

Lillard scored 15 points and played over 32 minutes yesterday in the victory over the

Clippers after intentionally or after initially being listed as questionable for the game.

Bucks guard Torian Prince also has been ruled out for tonight's game.

Wisconsin decided to shake up a formula that has had made it one of the nation's most consistent

programs.

The results are evident from the Bucks scores, a program traditionally known for draining

the clock shot clock is scoring at a rate.

Badgers fans haven't seen in more than half a century.

Number 11 Wisconsin carries a five game winning streak into tomorrow's home game with Oregon.

Wisconsin is on pace for its highest scoring average since 1970 through 71 and has produced

over 90 points in each of its last two games.

Tip off for tomorrow's game will be at 11 and you will be able to hear the broadcast

of that game on WRC-E177.7 AM 1450 online at WRC-E.FM and on the Civic Media app.

The University of Wisconsin has extended the contract of head football coach Luke

Fickle.

The contract for the three or more UW coaches, volleyball coach Kelly Schuffield, women's

soccer coach Paul Wilkins and men's soccer coach Neil Jones were also extended.

Fickle is entering the third year of what was originally a seven year deal with worth

almost $55 million.

Wisconsin field have been mediocre so far with a team record of 13 and 13.

And the Wisconsin men's hockey team wraps up its regular season with a weakened series

at home against Notre Dame.

The first of the two games series is tonight at the Cole Center.

A crowd of more than 11,000 fans are expected for each of the games.

Despite a sub 500 record for the badgers, their ranked second in the nation was an average

of 10,160 fans for 16 home games.
