The piece originally aired on Jan. 31 as a feature on Inside Phoenix Basketball, a weekly coaches show dedicated to Green Bay men's and women's basketball, held Tuesdays at 6 p.m. at The Bar on Holmgren Way.

Williams, a Milwaukee native, is averaging 7.9 points and 5.6 rebounds per game and has started the past 12 contests for head coach Brian Wardle after coming back from an early-season injury. The 6-foot-6 forward has shown his versatility by guarding numerous positions.

A junior from St. Paul, Minn., Baker has averaged 7.7 points and 4.8 rebounds per game while playing in all 23 games for the Phoenix. He has shown an ability to score points in bunches, especially in road games. He had 20 points and nine rebounds in a contest at Butler on Jan. 21.

The duo will travel to Williams' hometown on Saturday when Green Bay plays at in-state and Horizon League rival Milwaukee at 2 p.m. The contest will be televised live on ESPNU.
