MTU
The Michigan Tech men’s basketball team couldn’t hold a mid-game lead, and fell at Concordia-St. Paul 85-80 last night. The Huskies were up by seven with 17 minutes to go, but the Golden Bears scored 49 points in the second half to come from behind. Freshman Tommy Lucca had 20 points and seven assists for Tech.
MTU freshman goaltender Angus Redmond has been named the Western Collegiate Hockey Association Defensive Player of the Week. Redmond stopped 48 of the 50 shots he faced in the Huskies’ sweep at Alaska last weekend. He leads the entire NCAA in goals-against average.

NHL
The Detroit Red Wings host the Dallas Stars tonight. Faceoff is at 7:30 on AM 1400 and FM 99.3, WCCY.
The Wings have put Tyler Bertuzzi and Brendan Smith on the injured list. Bertuzzi has a high ankle sprain, and Smith an MCL strain. Both are expected to miss a month or more after being hurt in Saturday’s game. Tomas Jurco will rejoin the team for tonight’s game. He’s missed all of the season while recovering from back surgery.
NBA
The Detroit Pistons play at Charlotte tonight.
Detroit point guard Reggie Jackson has been cleared to resume full practices. He’s recovering from tendinitis in his knee. Team officials aren’t saying when he might be ready to rejoin the lineup.
NFL
The Green Bay Packers broke their four-game losing streak with a 27-13 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles last night. Aaron Rodgers completed 30 of 39 passes for 313 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The Green Bay defense gave up a touchdown on the opening possession, then held the Eagles to just a pair of field goals. The Packers put the game away with a touchdown drive that used up more than half of the fourth quarter.

MLB
Chris Carter slugged 41 home runs for the Milwaukee Brewers last summer, but apparently will not have a chance to repeat the performance. USA Today reports that the team has decided not to make him a contract offer for next season before Friday’s deadline. Carter is eligible for arbitration, and would probably be awarded a salary of 10-million dollars or more – four times what he made this season. If the Brewers don’t submit a contract offer, he’ll become a free agent.
