The Kohl Center opened its doors on Sunday for the annual Red-White scrimmage, marking the start of another highly anticipated season for Wisconsin men's basketball. After 40 minutes of intra-squad play, team White emerged victorious by a final score of 65-51, led by senior forward Keaton Nankivil's game-high 22 points.
Back in ninth grade English class, my teacher Mrs. Stocks-Glover drew a triangular plot diagram on the chalkboard. The linguistic geometry lesson had one fundamental point—all great stories have a beginning, a climax and an end. That last bit—the end—is something that TV series seem to screw up on a regular basis.
In the minds of anyone who watches college basketball, NCAA Tournament losses stand apart.
The Wisconsin women's basketball team, appearing in its first NCAA tournament game since 2002, had a strong amount of momentum heading into Sunday's first round matchup against Vermont. However, the Badgers ran into a Catamount team with veteran leadership, strong poise, and stellar shooting, and fell to Vermont, 64-55.
They say defense wins championships, but having a good offense doesn't hurt either.
The Wisconsin women's basketball team, receiving its first NCAA tournament bid since 2002 and just seventh overall, were handsomely rewarded for their strong efforts all season with a seventh seed. The Badgers take on the No. 10 seed Vermont Catamounts Sunday at noon in South Bend, Ind.
War is hell and hell is other people, so it makes sense that the most hellish part of war isn't necessarily fighting the opposing forces but working with the people who are supposedly on your side, as seen in the controversy surrounding the war in Iraq. The whole situation has since developed a very nefarious ""Bourne"" movie tone to it with all of the unsavory intelligence wheeling and dealing that went on behind the scenes. As such, it should have been a given that ""Bourne"" series director Paul Greengrass and Jason Bourne himself, Matt Damon, would team up to tell that story in ""Green Zone.""
The Badgers are going dancing.
French developer Quantic Dream has raised the bar high for what they tout as a new genre of storytelling in their latest PS3 exclusive crime-drama game, ""Heavy Rain."" The basic premise is this: As he triangulates the identity and whereabouts of a serial killer and his victim, the player controls four characters, alternating between a caring father, an insomniac photojournalist, a drug-addicted FBI criminal profiler and a private investigator.
It's safe to say that after the Wisconsin women's basketball team's performance in this past weekend's Big Ten Tournament, the team is playing their best basketball of the season.
The Badgers picked up just their fourth road win of the season with a 78-46 clinic over the Hoosiers last night, marking their largest margin of victory in a road Big Ten game since their 54-20 win over the University of Chicago in 1942.
Much has been made of Wisconsin's recent propensity to rely on long-distance shooting. Entering Sunday's game against a much smaller Northwestern team, along with junior forward Jon Leuer playing his first home game since his injury, the Badgers had an opportunity to return to a more balanced offense, and they did that with enough success to hold off the Wildcats yesterday.
Facing Big Ten champion and No. 7 Ohio State Buckeyes, the Wisconsin women's basketball team fought hard on both ends of the court for 40 minutes. It was an offensive shootout in which the Badgers (8-7 Big Ten, 18-8 overall) came up just short in the end, falling to the Buckeyes (14-2, 26-3), 83-78. That score marks both the most points scored by Wisconsin this season as well as the most points surrendered on defense.
In an age where music is as accessible as an ""I'm feeling lucky"" Google search and a quick click of the ""download"" button, it's easy to get bogged down by the swarms of artists who claim to be worthy of your ears. Sometimes, though, a band comes along that simply cannot be ignored. Such is the case for Local Natives, whose debut album, Gorilla Manor is as balanced as it is catchy.
The Grateful Red were given free towels to cheer on the Wisconsin men's basketball team Saturday against Indiana, but it was the Hoosiers who threw in the towels moments after the tip-off.
Down four with just over two minutes remaining before the Badgers would be hit with their first home loss of the season, sophomore guard Jordan Taylor split between two Illinois defenders and saw an open lane to the basket. The lay-up would cut the Fighting Illini's lead to two, and just like Wisconsin has done all season in the Kohl Center, they would ride the momentum to escape defeat.
Recently Wisconsin (8-3 Big Ten, 18-5 overall) has relied on its late game heroics to clinch its wins, but in Ann Arbor on Saturday the Badgers continued what they started last Tuesday against Michigan State and jumped all over the Wolverines early.
The Wisconsin women's basketball team (6-5 Big Ten, 16-5 overall) is recovering from a tough loss at home to the Northwestern Wildcats last Sunday night. After leading by as many as 14 points in the first half, the Badgers ultimately fell by six. The loss was their second consecutive defeat at the Kohl Center.
One could almost think that home wins over top-10 teams and dominating Michigan State outside of East Lansing might lose a bit of their luster with how common it has become for Wisconsin.
Well that was definitely easier than expected.
