I am Phil Neve for WRCO sports.

Thanks Phil, and the WIA State Boys basketball tournament is taking place at the Cole Center

today.

I got underway today, and the first games in the afternoon were from Division 3 in the

semi-finals in game 1.

It was Seymour, beating St. Croix Central by a score of 67 to 49, and Racine St.

Catherine's defeated Blake Bills, 72 to 66.

And tonight's games at 6, starting at 6.35, and in the first game, it will be Bondwell

taking on Cambridge, and in the second game, it will be Milwaukee Juno playing against

Regis.

Then tomorrow at 9.05 a.m. in Division 5, the first game will be Readsville against

Sherboygan Lutheran, and then in the second game, it will be Prentice taking on Southwestern.

So tomorrow at 1.35 in game 1 of Division 2 semi-finals, it will be Slinger taking on McFarland

and Los Salem against Whitefish Bay, and at 6.35 tomorrow evening, in Division 1 semi-finals,

it will be Wisconsin Lutheran playing against Appleton North, and DePierre will be taking

on Madison Memorial.

In a game heard earlier on WRC 107.7 and A on 1450, Chase Johnston made his first

two-point basket of the season, a fast break layup with 11.7 seconds remaining that

gave number 12 seed high point at 83 to 82 victory over fifth seeded Wisconsin in the

first round of the NCAA tournament.

Johnston finished with 14 points, including four three-pointers for the Panthers who were

10 and a half point underdogs according to Bet MGM Sportsbook.

He came in shooting 64 of 136 from three-point range, but all of four inside the arc.

The Panthers will face either 13 seed high or number four seed arc and saw in the second

round.

Nick Boyd finished with 27 points for Wisconsin.

The games they were played today include TCU beating Ohio State 66 to 64.

It was Nebraska defeating Troy 76 to 47.

Louisville beat South Florida 83 to 79.

It was Duke over Siena, 71 to 65, and Vanderbilt defeated McNeese State, 78 to 68.

As we got one more final in, it was Arkansas beating Hawaii, 97 to 78, so Arkansas will

play in that second round game against high point.

Also in the second half, with 104 left in the game, it is Michigan State leading North

Dakota State, I'm sorry, by a score of 89 to 67.

The NCAA tournament brackets have already been busted for millions of college basketball

fans.

High points upset of Wisconsin played a major factor in ending the hopes of a perfect

bracket for more than 25 million who entered ESPN's perfect bracket challenge.

The network reported that just under 900,000 perfect brackets remained after the first wave

of games.

The results were nearly identical for those who entered the challenge at NCAA.com, was

more than 96% of the bracket entries already eliminated.

The odds of correctly picking every game during the three-week tournament can rise up to

as much as one in 9.2 quintillion.

Multiple reports indicate that the Bucks want to shut down their best player for the final

14 games of the regular season.

He's resisting the idea.

Milwaukee is more than six games out of qualification for the NBA play-in tournament.

ESPN reports the two-time MVP is expected to be out for at least a week with his latest

injury, suffered on Sunday, a hyper extension, and bone bruise.

And the Ticupo has reportedly had multiple meetings with team management since then.

And he is said to be adamant about wanting to return to the court.

And the Brewers have released preliminary plans for a new outdoor plaza at American Family

Field.

TMJ4 is reporting that the facility will be a free, open, access space available on game

days is to be called the UW Credit Union Plaza.

The Brewers say they want to extend the ballpark experience beyond the gates.

There will be a beer garden, a stage, and an area for kids.

And in spring training today, the Brewers are playing a night game.

They're playing against the Texas Rangers.

And you'll be able to hear the broadcast of that game on WRC, 107.7 and AM 1450.

Pregame will start at 8 and first pitch will be at 810.
