UW-Oshkosh has named Matt Lewis the Titans Interim Head Coach men’s basketball coach on Thursday.

Lewis has been the Titans top assistant, coaching at the school for the last six years.  He’ll lad the Titans for the 2018-’19 season while the University conducts a national search for Pat Juckem’s replacement.

Juckem was named the new coach at Washington University in St. Louis.  Assistant Chancellor and Director of Athletics Darryl Sims said they’ll form a committee of various members from the school, including students, to help find the fulltime successor.

Sims didn’t rule out the possibility that Lewis could eventually land the spot in a fulltime basis.

WRN Sports Daily (Video)

May 23, 2013 By Bill Scott

In today’s WRN Sports Daily, there’s trouble brewing in Oshkosh with the men’s baseball program.  Long time head coach Tom Lechnir has been told his contract isn’t being renewed for next season.  After 728 wins, he’s baffled at the move and is considering legal action against the school.

The Brewers dropped their series finale to the Dodgers.  I ask, why can’t Ron Roenicke be more like Don Mattingly?

During Packers OTA’s, the offense has been running the pistol and read option.  We’ll tell you why in this segment of the WRN Sports Daily.

Oshkosh advances to the D3 semifinals

December 3, 2012 By Bill Scott

For the third straight week, the UW Oshkosh football needed a comeback in the Division 3 playoffs. Saturday, the Titans rallied from down 15 in the 4th quarter to force overtime where they got by Linfield (Ore.) 31-24.

The 4th quarter comeback was capped by QB Nata Wara’s 2nd rushing touchdown of the game with under 8-minutes to play.  Wara then hit Cory Wipperfurth for the 2-point conversion to tie the game at 24.  After a blocked FG by the Titans at the end of regulation, the game winner in OT came when Wara connected with Caleb Voss.

Oshkosh will play in the D3 semifinals on the road against St. Thomas (MN.) Saturday.  A win, would send the Titans to the D3 title making it the 8th straight year a WIAC School would be in the championship.  UW Whitewater has played in the previous seven winning four times, including the last three.  Oshkosh is playing in the post season for the first time.
