My life expectancy has again decreased thanks to Wisconsin sports. The Wisconsin Badgers (17-13, 9-11 B1G) avoided what would have been a horrible loss to the their arch-rival, the Minnesota Golden Gophers (8-21, 2-17 B1G), and left Minneapolis with a 71-67 victory to end the regular season with a sweep of their rivals in the…

Wisconsin sports fans can’t have nice things. I don’t even know what to say anymore about this season. Just gut punch after gut punch, as the Wisconsin Badgers (16-13, 8-11 B1G) lose another heartbreaker, this time to the No. 5 Purdue Boilermakers (25-5, 14-5 B1G) by a final of 63-61 from the Kohl Center.

After playing efficiently to surge into a 45-28 lead with 16:11 left in the game, the UW defense broke down, let the…
