The UW-Fox men’s basketball team got key contributions from Jon Schlaver (Fox Valley Lutheran HS) and Sam Schreiber (Appleton East HS) in posting a 71-48 WCC tournament victory over UW-Waukesha on Wednesday night at UW-Fox. Schlaver scored 16 points on 8/9 shooting in his first extended action since suffering a concussion two weeks ago.
Schreiber scored the first 6 Cyclone points on his way to a career night that saw him finish with 14 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 5 steals on 6/9 shooting with no turnovers. He also guarded Cougars leading scorer Brandon St. George for a good portion of the game helping UW-Fox hold him to just 8 points.
Trevor Krizenesky (Brillion HS) also chipped in with 13 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in his final home game as a Cyclone. His three-point field goal midway through the second half stopped a 5-0 Cougar run and helped push the lead back to 15 points.
The Cyclones led from start to finish, and despite shooting 0/12 from three-point range, found themselves up 34-20 at the half. UW-Fox was extremely efficient on offense in the second half connecting on 16/24 (66.7%) field goal attempts, and 8 of 11 (72%) free-throws.
UW-Fox moves to 22-4 overall on the season. They will travel to Wisconsin Dells on Saturday February 22nd for the WCC tournament final four, which is being hosted at JustAGame Fieldhouse. It is the Cyclones 5th trip to the tournament semi-finals in 5 years. Other WCC men’s teams posting victories tonight were UW-Manitowoc, UW-Barron, and UW-Richland.
