GREEN BAY - A three-point shot in the final second spells victory for the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Kaylon Williams’ bomb pushed the Panthers past UW-Green Bay 64-63 Saturday.
Green Bay had taken a 63-57 lead with less than to go – when Milwaukee scored the last seven points of the game. Paris Gulley led the Panthers scoring with 18 points. Keifer Sykes topped Green Back with 20. Milwaukee is now 11-6 overall, including 4-1 in Horizon League play. Green Bay drops to 6-9 overall, 2-3 in league games.

Packer offensive coordinator Joe Philbin is the latest candidate to interview for the head coaching position in Miami. He was in talks with Dolphin team officials yesterday. Philbin has been with Green Bay since 2003 and was promoted to offensive coordinator in 2007. The Dolphins’ first choice is said to be former Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher, but Chicago Bears special teams coordinator Dave Toub and interim Miami coach Todd Bowles have also been interviewed. Bowles took over when Tony Sparano was fired with three games left in the season.

A third-period power-play goal by Jake McCabe gives the Wisconsin Badgers a 2-1 victory over Rochester Institute of Technology. The win improves the record to 9-9-2 for the men’s hockey squad. Jake McCabe scored the winning goal early in the period, giving coach Mike Eaves’ team a sweep of the weekend series at the Kohl Center. Mark Zengerle assisted on both Wisconsin scores to give him at least a point in 19 straight games, two away from the school record. Joseph LaBate had put the Badgers ahead with the first goal of the game at 2:18 in the second period. Rochester tied it less than four minutes later, then game stayed knotted at 1-1 until McCabe found the net. The visitors made a final period push, but Joel Rumpel turned away all 10 shots to seal the win.

The Milwaukee Brewers will know some time early next month whether all-star outfielder Ryan Braun will be suspended when the 2012 season begins. An arbitration hearing will be held later this month to give the National League Most Valuable Player a chance to challenge the positive drug test reported in October. If the verdict stands, Braun would be suspended for the first 50 games of the coming season.

Green Bay Packers outside linebacker coach Kevin Greene was named a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame yesterday. Greene played for the Rams, Steelers, Panthers and 49ers. He has been eligible for induction for the last eight seasons, but this is the first time the five-time Pro Bowl selection made it to the finals. Greene was one of the most outstanding outside linebackers in the history of the 3-4 defense. He finished with the third-most sacks of any NFL defender. He will be considered for induction when the selection committee meets the Indianapolis the day before Super Bowl XLVI. Greene will need 80 percent of the vote to be elected.
