Talk about it

MILWAUKEE - Former Milwaukee Buck Charlie Villanueva nailed a three-pointer with less than 10 seconds to go, then Rodney Stuckey ensured a Detroit win with a pair of free throws. The Pistons edged the Bucks 105-100 last night.

Brandon Jennings scored 26 to lead Milwaukee and it was his tough fadeaway shot with just under 48 seconds left which gave Milwaukee a 100-98 lead. Detroit scored the last seven. Playing without Larry Sanders, two Milwaukee frontcourt performers came up with double-doubles. Ersan Ilyasove scored 15 points and took down 10 rebounds, while Samuel Dalembert scored 14 with a dozen rebounds. Neither side managed to post a lead of more than three points in that hard-fought final period.

The University of Wisconsin men's hockey team kept the winless streak going for Bemidji State, edging the visitors at the Kohl Center last night, 3-2 before a crowd of nearly 12,000. Bemidji State is winless in its last dozen games. Kevin Schulze scored the game-winning goal midway through the second period. Keegan Meuer and Brendan Woods gave Wisconsin a fast start with first-period goals. After Meuer and Woods put Bucky on the board, Bemidji cut it to 2-1. A late goal made the final score a little closer. Wisconsin’s record is now 12-9-7, including 9-6-7 in the WCHA. Wisconsin goalie Landon Peterson made 18 saves, but a stout Badger defensive effort meant he only had to face seven shots in the final period.

St. Cloud State enjoyed an early one-goal lead, but the rest of the contest belonged to the University of Wisconsin women’s hockey team Saturday afternoon at the National Hockey Center in St. Cloud, Minn. Five Badgers scored a goal in the 5-1 victory. Three of those goals came on power plays. Just 10 seconds into the first power play, Karley Sylvester found the back of the net for the Badgers. Rachel Jones scored her first collegiate goal early in the second period and that one was actually the game-winner. Jordan Brickner, Brianna Decker and Madison Packer also scored. Wisconsin went 3-for-6 on power plays, while killing off two penalties on defense. The win was number-200 for Wisconsin coach Mark Johnson. The Badgers record improves to 17-9-2, including 13-9-2 in the WCHA.

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee men's basketball team trailed from start to finish while losing its seventh straight game, 64-49. Wright State started the Horizon League contest with a 13-4 run and was never seriously challenged. Paris Gulley’s 10-point effort led the Panthers. They shot 40 percent from the floor and committed 16 turnovers. Milwaukee’s record falls to 5-20, including 1-10 in Horizon League play.

Horizon Conference scoring leader Ray McCallum Jr. got 30 points for Detroit, but he didn’t get much help in a 68-59 loss at Green Bay. The rest of the Titans hit just 10-of-35 shots. Keifer Sykes led the Phoenix with 16 points and five rebounds. Jordan Fouse added a dozen to go with seven rebounds and Kam Cerroni came off the bench to score 11. The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay has a 13-12 record, including 7-5 in the Horizon League.

Milwaukee Brewers manager Ron Roenicke defended slugger Ryan Braun while giving a talk at Florida’s International University's annual baseball banquet last night. Braun’s name has been linked to baseball’s latest drug investigation and his manager says there’s no good reason for. Braun’s name appears in records from a closed clinic in Coral Gables which allegedly provided performance-enhancing substances to several players. Braun says he used the person running the Biogenesis Clinic of America, Anthony Bosch, only as a consultant in his defense last year when he successfully fought what could have been a 50-game suspension for testing positive for elevated levels of testosterone. The suspension was overturned in arbitration.
