knocked out #3 Baylor 57-56.  #14 UAB
also took down 3^rd seeded Iowa
State 60-59.  Other lower seeds to win included #11 UCLA
over #6 Butler
60-59 on a controversial goal tending call late.  10^th seeded Ohio State
beat #7 VCU 75-72 in overtime.   There
will be 16 more games today.  The top
seeded Wisconsin Badgers will tip against #16 seed Coastal Carolina tonight at

their last 14 games going into tonight’s matchup with the Nets in Brooklyn.  Milwaukee sits at 34-34
on the season. They hold the 6^th spot in the Eastern
Conference. 

 

The Brewers took the “lame
duck” label off of manager Ron Roenicke on Thursday by picking up the club
option for the 2016 season.    The team
had not extended his deal after their late season collapse last year.

3-2 on Thursday afternoon in Arizona.  Tyler Thornburg gave up 2 runs and 4 hits in
3 innings of work. Matt Long homered for The Crew.  The Brewers host the Diamondbacks this
