The Wisconsin Badgers (17-14) fall short in Chicago, 65-57, to the Ohio State Buckeyes (14-18) in the First Round of the Big Ten Tournament. Entering today, the Badgers had only played two bad halves in Big Ten play — second half at Indiana & second half at Nebraska — they picked a heck of a…

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…

It wasn’t a pretty finish, but it didn’t need to be. The Wisconsin Badgers (15-10, 7-8 B1G) won a thriller at the Kohl Center, taking down the Michigan Wolverines (14-12, 8-7 B1G) by a final of 64-59, despite going 0-for-15 from the field in the final 10:45 of the game. The atmosphere at the Kohl…
