Wisconsin hosts Iowa tonight in Big Ten basketball. Both teams are on the bubble as far as the NCAA playoffs go. The Hawkeyes are 17-10 overall and 9-7 in the conference, good for 6th. The Badgers have lost 9 of their last 13 and are 15-11 overall and 7-9 in conference play. Tipoff is at 8:00 at the Kohl Center.
Tyler Kolek’s short jump shot gave No. 10 Marquette the lead with 29 seconds left, and the Golden Eagles took a huge step toward the Big East regular-season title with a 73-71 win over No. 19 Creighton on Tuesday night.
The Golden Eagles (22-6, 14-3) saw a 10-point lead with eight minutes left evaporate before Kolek came up big during a wild finish before a sellout crowd at CHI Health Center.
Kam Jones led Marquette with 19 points and Kolek and Oso Ighodaro added 18 apiece.
Baylor Scheierman had 18 points to lead the Bluejays (18-10, 12-5). Ryan Nembhard added 16. Marquette hosts DePaul on Saturday night.
In a close game throughout, the UW-Oshkosh women’s basketball team defeated UW-La Crosse 57-54 in the first round of the WIAC tournament.
Kayce Vaile led all scorers with 19 points as she was one of three Titans to land in double-figure scoring. Jenna Jorgensen added 14 points while Kate Huml rounded the Titans double-figure scoring action with 11 points.
The Titans are making their 11th straight trip to the semifinals of the WIAC tournament.
The Titans will travel to the top-seeded UW-Whitewater (19-6) on February 26 for a 7 p.m. matchup.
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has been waiting for swelling in his right elbow to reduce so he can have the torn ulnar collateral ligament in it repaired.
That procedure was supposed to happen Wednesday in Arlington, Texas. But, after Purdy met with Dr. Keith Meister on Tuesday, the surgery will be delayed further, a source confirmed to ESPN.
Purdy continues to have inflammation in the elbow, which is why Meister recommended that he postpone the surgery until it goes down further. Purdy and Meister are aiming to regroup in early March with the hopes of getting it done then.
NFL Network first reported the delay in Purdy’s surgery.
Purdy and the Niners still are hoping that he will have what is known as a “surgical UCL repair augmented with an InternalBrace.” The brace is a synthetic “check-rein” implanted alongside the repair to help reinforce the ligament as it heals. That InternalBrace repair comes with a recovery timeline of about six months but would allow Purdy to begin throwing again in about three months with a slow buildup back to full strength.
