There are certain moments in any sport that define a player’s career: Michael Jordan’s Flu Game in the 1997 NBA Finals, Derek Jeter’s walk-off hit in his final at-bat, Rafael Nadal’s grueling five-set win over Roger Federer in the 2008 Wimbledon final. Nicole Bauman’s historic three-point barrage against Ohio State was her moment.

The 2014-’15 Wisconsin men’s basketball team produced a lot of things, including great memories, cut-down nets and two potential first-round NBA draft picks. After drying away the tears, we heard that Sam Dekker is truly gone, and he will join his co-star and Wooden Award winner Frank Kaminsky at the next level.
For the first time in the NCAA Tournament, Wisconsin didn’t close the game strong, didn’t shoot well and got into foul trouble and will now leave Indianapolis with broken hearts and without a national championship.
INDIANAPOLIS—If you want to know how tough this game could be, consider what Grantland’s Mark Titus had to say going into the Final Four: that Duke’s best is even better than Kentucky’s best. It’s a decent bet UW will get that best Monday night. Here are all the players you can expect head coach Mike Krzyzewski to use during the game.
INDIANAPOLIS—Saturday night’s Final Four showdown between top seeds Kentucky and Wisconsin has all the ingredients to be an evenly matched contest, as the country’s most efficient offense will take on the nation’s most stout defense. Since Ken Pomeroy started tracking tempo-free statistics back in 2002, no team has posted a higher offensive efficiency rating than this Wisconsin team.
With a trip to the Final Four on the line, Wisconsin and Arizona traded blows as a junior forward’s offensive outburst powered the Badgers to the next round.
OMAHA, Neb.—The Wisconsin Badgers’ performance Friday night wasn’t their best or most exciting of the season, but it was still more than enough to send them into the Round of 32 of the NCAA Tournament.
The top-seeded Wisconsin Badgers’ quest for a national title begins this weekend in Omaha, Neb., where they’ll likely still be without the services of senior guard Traevon Jackson.

Wisconsin’s Big Ten Championship win gave all watchers a preview of what college basketball in March is going to bring.
Like most everything else, television is all about relationships. From “The Sopranos” to “Community,” all great shows use personal relationships as a fulcrum to lift up the rest of the plot around them. However, when shows (especially dramas) forgot about the world outside of a marriage or a friendship, when things turn inward just a little bit too much, your show starts to suck.

These teams have combined for just 22 total losses, with Kansas owning seven of those against the nation’s toughest schedule.
Wisconsin (5-13 Big Ten, 9-19 overall) opens up the Big Ten Tournament Tuesday at 7:20 p.m. against the struggling Purdue Boilermakers (3-15, 10-19).
Wisconsin’s quest for a Big Ten title will have to wait until at least this weekend.
“The Walking Dead” is back, baby! Finally, after months of waiting, one of my favorite television shows is back in its familiar Sunday night slot(s). The first half of the fifth season represented one of the biggest television 180s that I’ve ever seen; last year, the show had the pacing and stumbling of Rick Grimes walking down railroad tracks, and now it's as exciting and suspenseful as it’s ever been. Naturally, between this most welcome surprise and the tension that was the midseason finale, I’ve been ready to get back on the road with our heroes for a while now.
A blistering start and another excellent performance from sophomore guard Bronson Koenig were all the Badgers needed to cruise past the Northwestern Wildcats Saturday evening.
After picking up a couple of wins on the road over Michigan and Iowa, the No. 5 Wisconsin Badgers (7-1 Big Ten, 19-2 overall) will return home to the Kohl Center to take on Tom Crean’s Indiana Hoosiers (6-3, 16-6) Tuesday at 6 p.m.
After accumulating a career high 31 points in Thursday’s matchup against Ohio State, junior guard Nicole Bauman continued to roll on offense Sunday as she contributed 21 points in the Badgers’ 73-62 win at Illinois.
Almost a month into Big Ten play, the Badgers have moved in to sole possession of first place even after their baffling loss at Rutgers. Now, we take a look at the teams right behind UW in Big Ten contention, and the next few who are definitely still in the conversation. Sorry, Minnesota.
