Matt Lewis

The University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh has officially removed the interim tag and named Matt Lewis the schools permanent head men’s basketball coach on Wednesday.

Lewis guided the Titans to their first NCAA Division 3 men’s basketball championship in March, knocking off Swarthmore College (Pa.) in the national title game.

Lewis led the Titans to a 29-3 record, claiming their first outright Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) title since 1978 before going on to win six NCAA postseason games en route to the national title.  The Titans averaged 93.7 points in its six Division III Championship victories and set the school’s NCAA postseason scoring record with its 108-point performance against University of Northwestern (Minn.) during the second round.

Lewis was elevated to interim head coach after previous UW-Oshkosh head coach Pat Juckem accepted the lead position of the Washington University in St. Louis (Mo.) men’s basketball program.

Lewis is just the fifth UW-Oshkosh head men’s basketball coach since the 11964-65 season and the 14th overall.

Pointers upset Oshkosh in WIAC semifinals

February 22, 2019 By Bill Scott

UW-Stevens Point (18-8) jumped out to an early 10-point lead and went on to knock off 4th ranked UW-Oshkosh (23-3) in the WIAC Championship semifinals on Thursday night.  It puts the Pointers in their second straight WIAC title game, facing UW-Platteville on Saturday (5pm) at Platteville.

Senior Canon O’Heron led all players with 20 points, including 14 in the second half as the Pointers shot 52.6 percent for the game.

Stevens Point’s defense held the Titans to just 35.7 percent shooting from the field and Oshkosh hit just 3 of 26 (.115) from behind the arc.  The 56 points scored by the Titans was a season low and the Pointers win snapped a 16-game home winning streak for Oshkosh.

Platteville knocked off La Crosse in Thursday’s other semifinal, 61-51.

The early exit for Oshkosh shouldn’t damage their NCAA D-3 tournament hopes.  They’ll likely land an at-large berth into the field.  The winner of Saturday’s title game will gain an automatic bid into the field.

December 6, 2015 By Bill Scott

UW-Whitewater Warhawk logoThe two-time defending NCAA Division 3 football champion UW-Whitewater Warhawks advanced to the NCAA semifinals, holding off UW-Oshkosh 31-29 in Saturday’s quarterfinals.

The Warhawks twice built what seemed to be comfortable leads, only to see the Titans come back.

Oshkosh led all-conference running back Dylan Hecker to an injury early.  His replacement Devon Linzenmeyer  rushed for 131 yards and two touchdowns.

Titan quarterback Brett Kasper hit 20-of-38 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns.  He led the Titans to a pair of late scores after Whitewater had built a 31-16 lead.  A failed two-point conversion attempt kept the Titans from tying the score.

Whitewater running back Jordan Ratliffe had 34 carries for 164 yards and two scores to lead the Warhawks.

The Warhawks will face Mount Union next week.  The two teams have faced off in nine of the last 10 Stagg Bowls, but only one of  them will make it this year.
