Phoenix men make it 12 in a row; ‘receiving votes’ in AP

Green Bay (17-3, 7-0 HL) shot just 28.3 percent from the field (13-46) against visiting Detroit (9-13, 2-5 HL) at the Resch Center on Sunday, but the Phoenix defense held the Titans without a field goal for the final 8:57. The end result was a 62-52 victory that extended Green Bay’s winning streak to 12 games. Green Bay will be back in action on Wednesday at Valparaiso at 7 p.m. before returning home to the Resch against Wright State at 6 p.m. next Saturday (Feb. 1).

AP Top 25 – UW-Green Bay is among the schools listed in the “others receiving votes” section of the weekly AP Top 25 poll. It’s only five votes (137 short of No. 25 Texas) but a big deal nonetheless; it’s our recollection that this season marks the first time since 1996 the Phoenix men have received a similar level of recognition.
