Braden Carrington scored a career high 21 points to follow Blackwell's production. The badgers will

carry a three game winning streak into Saturday's big 10 contest at home against Rutgers. Coach

Greg guard talked about his team coming together over the last month. Our chemistry or not that it

was bad but we just hadn't been a lot of hadn't had time together and hadn't had time in adversity

together and I think that's where you find out how much you have to grow and credit this group

for you know we haven't been perfect by any stretch but we have grown in our connectiveness and

in our collective fight. Senior guard Chase Ross pushed his career points total over a thousand

139 106 the wolves led 76 45 and half time. Yana Santa de Cumpo led Milwaukee and scoring with

25 points as the team lost for the third time in the last four games. As fact the game was

not really all that close all the way and coach Doc Rivers takes the blame. They're playing games too

you know so I don't want to make excuses about him. I have to do a better job with this group. I

have to get him out of this hole and I don't think it's on them. I think it's on me. Yana Santa de Cumpo

coming in on the box fans booing at one point he slammed the ball and put his thumbs down and

booed to the crowd. When I get boo I blew back. I've been doing all season because I'm in the

field on the road whenever I get boo I blew back. I mean you don't matter. I don't. It doesn't matter.

You don't know. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. I play basketball for my teammates. I play

basketball for myself and my family. When people don't believe in me I don't tend to be with them.

I tend to be against them. I tend to do what I I'm sure to do what I'm good at.

The box traveled to Texas to take on the spurs on Thursday night. Packers at Drusher Micah Parsons

is making no promises but his recovery is going so well that he tells reporters he could be back

by week one of the 2026 NFL season Parsons admits week three or week four is more likely but he pledges

not to go on injured reserve. He's currently rehabbing the torn ACL suffered in week 14

of the 2025 season with him out of the lineup Green Bay lost its last five games.

American professional sports stepped down Tuesday. After yet another quick playoff exit.
