Here are the
stories:
Ersan Ilyasova
and Brandon Jennings had big games as the Milwaukee Bucks won for the fifth time
in seven games under interim coach Jim Boylan. Jennings scored 30 points and
had eight assists, while Ilyasova scored 27 to go with 14 rebounds in a 110-104
win at Portland. It was the fifth straight loss for the Trailblazers. Ilyasova
hit 10-of-13 shots from the field and all three attempts from beyond the arc.
The Bucks started strong and led the rest of the way. The Bucks were up by 16
with less than four minutes to go when the Blazers started a rally that just
fell short. Milwaukee center Larry Sanders was ejected for arguing with an
official in the third period. The Bucks record improves to 20-17.

The surging Wisconsin
men's hockey team has tasted defeat for the first time in almost two months,
dropping a 2-1 contest to Miami-Ohio on the home ice Saturday night. The
Badgers' 11-game unbeaten streak is over. With the Redhawks leading 1-0 in the
second period, Michael Mersch scored his team-leading 13th goal to tie the
score. Derek Lee and Joseph LaBate assisted on Wisconsin's only score of the
night. A Miami score later in the same period providing the winning margin.
Joel Rumpel absorbed the loss, despite stopping 30 shots. Wisconsin outshot
the visitors, 34-32. The Badger record is 9-8-5 after the split, with another
home series starting next Friday against Alaska-Anchorage.

The Wisconsin women's
hockey team got a break-away goal from Madison Packer with 4:35 remaining to
edge North Dakota, 2-1. The victory kept the Badgers in second place in the
WCHA standings and earned the team a split of the weekend series. Katy Josephs
had scored the game's first goal, less than five minutes into the action. Alex
Rigsby stopped 28 shots to pick up her 15th win of the season. The Badgers
record is 15-7-2, including 11-7-2 in conference competiton.

Former Braves shortstop
Johnny Logan has been voted in to the Miller Park Walk of Fame. He got over 72
percent of the voters from sports reporters and team executives. Logan was a
member of championship Braves teams in 1957 and 1958. He played in Milwaukee
from 1953 to 1961, appearing in four All-Star games. He had a career batting
average of .268 with 93 home runs. He will join Hank Aaron, Paul Molitor and
Robin Young on the Walk of Fame.

A terrible start doomed
the Wisconsin Badgers in their first Big Ten Conference loss of the season,
70-66, at Iowa. The Hawkeyes came out hot while the Badgers were hitting just
one field goal in the first 10 minutes. With five minutes to go before half,
Iowa had a 20-point lead. Badger sharpshooters started finding the range and
they closed to within three points, 66-63, with 22 seconds to go. Free throws
and a late Badger turnover helped Iowa hold on. The loss drops Wisconsin's
record to 13-5 and the Badger's 4-1 conference mark drops them out of first, now
standing a half-game behind Michigan State. George Marshall led Wisconsin
scoring with 20 points. Sam Dekker had 13, but Jared Berggren was held to
eight.

The final two points
scored by Cincinnati's Sean Kilpatrick gave the Bearcasts a 71-69 overtime win
over Marquette. It was the first Big East Conference game loss of the season
for the Golden Eagles. That layup with four seconds left gave Kilpatrick 36
points in the game. For Marquette it was a tale of two halves. The Eagles
scored just 13 points in the first half, then roared back with 50 to tie the
game in regulation. The overtime loss broke Marquette's winning streak at six
games. Vander Blue led Marquette scorers in the road contest with 19 points.
Davante Gardner scored 15, including 13 from the free throw line. He hit two
charity tosses with less than three seconds to go to tie the game at 63 and send
it into overtime. Marquette's record is 13-4, including 4-1 in the Big East.
Syracuse is the only undefeated team in conference play.

The University of
Wisconsin-Green Bay Phoenix continue their dominant play at home, ripping
Cleveland State 77-50 yesterday. That was the team's seventh straight victory
at the Resch Center. Green Bay had five players in double figures, led by
Jordan Fouse with 17 to go with 10 rebounds. Fouse also had four steals, four
assists and three blocked shots. Green Bay shot 55 percent from the floor and
out-rebounded the Vikings 41-18. The Phoenix improved their record to 10-9,
including 4-2 in Horizon League play.

Youngstown State
used hot shooting to edge the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee last night,
75-72. The visitors hit 50 percent from the floor. The Panthers led early in
the game, but Youngstown State rallied and then led the rest of the way.
Milwaukee cut the lead to one at 73-72 with just seconds to go when Austin
Arians tipped in a missed shot. Arians and J.J. Panoske led the Panthers with
15 points apiece. Milwaukee's record is now 5-14, including four losses in five
Horizon League games.

Wisconsin golfer Jerry
Kelly keeps firing below-par rounds and keeps falling farther behind. Kelly
slipped down the leaderboard Saturday despite shooting a three under par 69.
He's 11 under for the first three rounds, but trailers leader Scott Stallings
by 11 shots. Mark Wilson didn't make yesterday's cut, despite a second straight
