Men's Basketball (6-17, 5-9 UMAC)
- UW-Superior played just one game last weekend, falling 83-74 to the College of St. Scholastica on Saturday afternoon in Superior. The defeat knocked the Yellowjackets from playoff contention, but UWS will have a chance this weekend to make an impact on the final Upper Midwest Athletic Conference standings. Friday night, the Yellowjackets will travel to Crown College, a team that they defeated 84-74 earlier this season on January 14 in Superior. The Storm also sits at 5-9 in the UMAC this season. Saturday, UW-Superior travels to take on the University of Minnesota Morris. The Cougars are 8-6 in the league and have clinched the final playoff spot but fell 85-76 to the Yellowjackets earlier this season on January 13.
Women's Basketball (19-4, 14-0 UMAC)
- After besting its bridge rival the College of St. Scholastica 94-72 last Saturday at Mortorelli Gym, UW-Superior will hit the road this weekend looking to lock up not only its second-straight UMAC Regular Season Title but a second-straight undefeated conference season, but both will be put to the test this weekend. Friday, the Yellowjackets meet Crown for the second time this season, having defeated the Storm 74-40 earlier this year in Superior on January 14. UWS will wrap up a share of the conference title with a victory on Friday night, but the undefeated season and top seed in the conference tournament may be on the line as the team meets Minnesota Morris, the current second-place team in the conference whose only defeat came 81-72 at the hands of the Yellowjackets in Superior on January 13. Next Wednesday night, the Yellowjackets will host the winner of the first round game in the semifinals of the UMAC Postseason Tournament at Mortorelli Gym.
