River Ridge is home against North Crawford, Benton at Scholesberg, and coming up

tonight, number 7 seed Ithaca against number 10 Highland.

Pregame time begins around 640 tonight on WRC Osports.

Here is head coach Josh Terrell of Highland.

We're playing better, let's just stress there about the first part of the season

where we couldn't buy a win and got things a little changed around a bit and got better

and he's going to become a little bit more than two of our last three.

So hopefully we can keep a little momentum going here.

Ithaca lost at Highland a week ago, I asked coach David Clang about that game

and if it would have an effect on tonight's contest.

We kind of went in thinking like don't be too high, don't be too low

no matter what the outcome was, and that's kind of our aspect.

It's tough and kind of a unique situation when you play them less than a week

from when you're going to play them and play off.

After the event, after last week's game, I thought that it was good that we played them.

We learned a bunch from that and what we need to do and I'm sure they learned some stuff from us too.

But I thought after it, it was kind of beneficial for us going into it.

I was unsure, but after the fact I think it's beneficial.

Coach David Clang of Ithaca, here at the game beginning with the pregame time around 640 tonight

at Ithaca, the Bulldogs host Highland in a WIA regional opening game.

I'm Filmy.

Today in spring training action, the Milwaukee Brewers took on the Cleveland Guardians

and the Brewers were successful in that game.

They won it by a score of 9 to 6.

Tomorrow, the Brewers will be playing split squad games and first of all,

it'll be the Brewers playing against the diamond backs.

And then the Brewers will be playing against the Dodgers and that game against Dodgers

will be bringing the broadcast of that game.

Tomorrow on WRCE 107.7 and AM 1450,

first pitch will be at around 210 with broadcast time starting at around 2.

Guard John Tanjayi has averaged almost 25 points per game for the Badgers since January 21st.

No Division I college player is matching that pace.

He has a chance to become the first Wisconsin player to average over 20 points a game

for the whole season in 30 years.

The team will look to his leadership tonight when the Washington Huskies arrive at the Cole Center.

The Huskies are last in the Big 10 standings for the 4 and 12 conference mark

and their 13 and 14 overall.

You'll be able to hear the broadcast of that game on WRCE 107.7

and AM 1450 as well as online at wrce.fm and on the Civic Media app.

A tip off for that contest will be at 8 with the pregame starting at around 7.

Marquette is searching for its mojo after four losses in six games.

The goal niggles started last season or started the season at six and all in the biggest conference

but have split 10 games since then.

They host Providence tonight at the Pfizer forum, a team struggling even more.

The Friars have lost five of their last six games and are trying to bounce back

from a disappointing 21 point loss to Georgetown.

The trade for Kyle Kuzma wasn't seen as much of a difference maker when the bugs pulled it off

but he's had a noticeable impact.

His length athleticism and motor are already showing results in the first seven games.

Players he has been defending are hitting less than 37% of their shots in those games

and his work is getting even better.

27% in the three games since the all-star break.

He still hasn't been a big factor on offense but coach Doc Rivers benefits by knowing

he can replace any player on the court with Kuzma at any position.

And the Packers are the first NFL team to propose that so-called Tush push plays are banned.

That proposal has been submitted to the league's competition committee.

The Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles have used the controversial play successfully many times.

The play involves teammates getting behind the quarterback, pushing him on short yard downs,

usually third or fourth down.

Eagles used it to score their first touchdown in the Super Bowl win over the Chiefs.
