Sports for January 13th
The Packers were back on the practice field on Tuesday in preparation for Saturday’s showdown with the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round of the playoffs at Lambeau Field. Green Bay has an explosive offense which will go up against a very good Rams defense. The Rams have allowed only 17 passing touchdowns while picking off 14 passes but the Packers and Aaron Rodgers are hoping to change that. Rodgers, the favorite by most experts to win his third league MVP, has thrown a career high 48 touchdown passes, 18 of them to wide receiver Davante Adams. Adams caught 115 passes for 1,374 yards despite missing two games. Saturday’s game begins with the pregame at 1:00 and the kickoff at 3:35 and can be heard on FM 102.3 FM, The Bug.

Mike Smith had 16 points and six assists, and No. 7 Michigan remained unbeaten with another dominant performance, routing No. 9 Wisconsin 77-54 on Tuesday night. The Wolverines (11-0, 6-0) turned this Big Ten showdown into a blowout with a 43-6 run that spanned parts of both halves. It was another masterpiece for coach Juwan Howard’s team, which became the first in college basketball history to beat three ranked opponents in a row by at least 19 points. Michigan set the tone for this one with its rim protection. The Badgers (10-3, 4-2) struggled to finish plays around the basket early on, and the Wolverines had six blocked shots in the first half alone. Michigan led 26-23 before scoring the last 14 points of the half. A steal and dunk by Franz Wagner made it 33-23. Smith followed that with a steal and a layup. Wagner then drove the baseline and dunked for a 14-point advantage. The start of the second half wasn’t any better for Wisconsin. A 3-pointer by Eli Brooks made it 47-26, and a 3 by Smith made it 54-26. Finally, a layup by Chaundee Brown gave Michigan an almost incomprehensible 69-29 lead. Wagner had 15 points and 10 rebounds. D’Mitrik Trice led Wisconsin with 20 points. The Badgers have a chance to rebound quickly when they play at Rutgers on Friday night.
