ROSS LITSCHER Sports Editor

Up until the end of January, the Madison College WolfPack men’s basketball team has had a consistently inconsistent season, heading into the last weekend of January with a 9-10 (1-2 conference) record.

But as I mentioned a couple issues ago, if there was any time in high school and college basketball to get hot, now is that time. The time right before tournament play starts, right around February, is when you hope your team is clicking and has enough chemistry to keep their season alive as long as possible.

Madison College Coach Jason Roscoe’s squad got the memo going into the home stretch. The WolfPack won their next two games on Jan. 26 and Jan. 28 by a combined score of 179-119, a 60-point margin.
