MILWAUKEE - University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee men's basketball coach Bruce Pearl will be the fill-in host on "Wisconsin Sports Weekend" this Sunday on WTMJ Radio (620 AM).

The head coach, who is a regular on Bill Michaels' "Sports Central" show on the station, will be the sole on-air host following the conclusion of Sunday's Brewers game. The show will run from approximately 4:15 p.m. until about 6:30 p.m.

Fans will be invited to call in and talk to the coach about not just Panther basketball but anything else going on in the world of sports.

Pearl, who is entering his third year at UWM, led the Panthers to 24 wins and a berth in the NCAA Tournament this past March.
