Green Bay guard Kiefer Sykes it the Horizon
League Player of the Year for the 2^nd straight season.  The Horizon League Men’s Basketball
Tournament kicks off tonight with first round matchups.  Green
Bay’s 2^nd place finish gives them a bye
into Saturday night’s semifinals.  Valparaiso won the league
and will host the quarterfinals through finals this weekend.  UW-Milwaukee did not qualify for the season
ending tournament.

 

Fond du Lac High
School alumni Tony Smit has been named the Chicagoland Collegiate
Athletic Conference Men’s Basketball Player of the Year.  Smit was 2^nd in the league in
scoring at 20.1 ppg and led the league with 194 assists. That was the 5^th
best assist total in the country.  Smit
is also the only player in CCAC history to record 1500 career points, 500
career rebounds and 500 career assists.

 

The Bucks
continue their west coast road trip tonight in Denver. The tip is set for 8pm.  We’ll join that game in progress after high
school basketball tonight on KFIZ.

 

The Packers
chose not to use a franchise tag on any of their free agents including Brian
Bulaga and Randall Cobb.  The team can
still try and workout a new contract before March 10^th when free
agency opens up.  The Detroit Lions also
chose not to use the tag on defensive lineman Ndamukong Sue.

 

Former
Packer Brad Jones signed a two year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.
