Raptors 905 (23-15) outscored the Wisconsin Herd (9-27) 36-20 in the third quarter and held off a late fourth quarter push to secure a 110-108 victory Wednesday night. Derek Cooke Jr. continued to crash the boards, as he recorded his fourth straight double-double, grabbing 19 rebounds and scoring 13 points. The 905 backcourt spearheaded the offence, Jordan Howard leading all scorers with 26 points, while Jordan Loyd contributed 24 to the win. Wisconsin was led by Michael Qualls, who tallied 24 points and seven boards. Nick Johnson recorded a near triple-double, scoring 21 points while adding nine assists and nine rebounds.
Wisconsin returns home for a Friday night meeting with Agua Caliente, tip-off scheduled for 7 p.m.

Steve Stricker is going to his seventh straight Ryder Cup, this time in his home state of Wisconsin as the American captain.
Stricker officially was appointed Ryder Cup captain Wednesday morning in Milwaukee, an hour south of where the Americans will try to win back the Ryder Cup in 2020 at Whistling Straits.
Europe already has appointed Padraig Harrington as its captain.
Stricker, who turns 52 on Saturday, is the first U.S. captain to have never won a major, part of the old formula for picking captains. He won 12 times on the PGA Tour and didn’t play in his first Ryder Cup until he was 41, in 2008 at Valhalla, a rare U.S. win.
Stricker played in three straight Ryder Cups through 2012, followed by three stints as an assistant captain.
Jim Furyk will serve as U.S. Vice Captain.
The Fond du Lac Dock Spiders are excited to welcome back three players from last year’s team who will be returning in 2019. Bubba Horton (Minnesota), Conor Dryer (Central Missouri), and Brad Hudson (Southern Illinois) will all be back with the Dock Spiders this summer.
