With the Wisconsin men's basketball team not having played against an actual opponent yet, it is possible the team might still have a few kinks to be worked out. That was not the case for the Badgers Friday, as they took care of business, dominating their Division III opponent, UW-Stout, 82-33.
The Wisconsin men's basketball team kicked off its preseason festivities Tuesday, playing probably a tougher opponent than it will play all regular season: itself.
The brainless arguments against writer-director Paul Greengrass' stunning new docudrama United 93,\ the first major Hollywood film to depict the events of Sept. 11, 2001, are reminiscent of an episode of ""South Park."" The episode dealt with Jared the Subway spokesman inadvertently making the town think he had AIDS, and once the problem was solved, Stan and Kyle discovered that the touchy issue was dated enough to be fair game for poking fun. Trey Parker and Matt Stone got a lot of mileage out of ridiculing the assumption that sensitive subjects cannot be tackled by art for an unwritten but requisite number of years. Some rigorously politically correct loudmouths, nearly all of whom have not actually seen the film, have assailed ""United 93"" for being an exploitative capitalist venture that is coming out way too soon. This cynical criticism is as ignorant as it is frustrating and laughable, as it not only presupposes that art is not capable of being relevant or essential, but implies that it should not be.
Scary Movie\ has become a movie monster in its own right—the horrible beast that refuses to die. And with comedic triumphs like ""The Naked Gun"" and ""Airplane!"" behind him, director David Zucker seemed like the perfect replacement for the Wayans brothers at the helm of the ""Scary Movie"" franchise.

Film Fests and Madison: as Bogey once said, This looks like the continuation of a beautiful friendship.\ Or something.
Eight points in a span of 8.9 seconds. That phrase is maybe the worst thing I could hear in the world of sports other than, Andreas Helmigk has the ball in the high post.\ In 8.9 seconds, my nearly 11-year-old world was turned upside down, and a villain—challenging the infamous ranks of such rogues as Snidely Whiplash and the Iron Sheik—was born.
The Badger Baloney is obviously fake news—merely a satirical commentary on life in Madison. Except in the case of public figures, the people are not real.
The highest-scoring trio in the nation lived up to their billing Thursday night, as Michigan State's 'Big Three' combined for 64 points and powered the Spartans (20-9 overall, 8-7 Big Ten) to a 74-65 victory over Wisconsin.

Amidst one of the toughest battles for the Big Ten title in recent history, the UW men's basketball team (9-5 Big Ten, 19-8 overall) needs to finish strong to bring some momentum into the Big Ten Tournament and ultimately, the NCAA tournament. Completing the season on the road against an angry Michigan State (7-7, 19-9) Thursday and Iowa Saturday will not make that task easy.
EVANSTON, ILL.'After practice Monday, the reporters fired questions at Wisconsin coaches and players concerning how the Badgers would attempt to contain Northwestern's senior forward Vedran Vukusic. The question should have been, how does UW expect to contain senior guard Mohamed Hachad?
Behind a frenzied sellout crowd of 17, 142 Wednesday night at the Kohl Center, the Wisconsin men's basketball team rallied late in the second half to a 78-73 victory over Ohio State.

After a big victory, coaches often say 'A win is a win.' However, for the University of Wisconsin men's basketball team, (6-4 Big Ten, 16-7 overall) Wednesday night's 72-54 drubbing of Indiana accomplished a lot more than just putting another 'W' in the win column. It pulled them out of a five loss in six game slide that not only threatened to drop the Badgers from the Big Ten title race, but also from contention for the NCAA tournament.
The victory for the Badgers Wednesday night against the Hoosiers was especially sweet, but not for the reasons one would think. Sure, they won by 18 points; sure, it was against a conference opponent; sure, this win broke the Badgers' first three-game losing streak since head coach Bo Ryan began his tenure in 2001.
For the Badgers, a trip to West Lafayette, Ind. was supposed to be a cure for what has been ailing them of late.

In the Badgers' 70-62 loss at Mackey Arena Saturday evening, junior forward Alando Tucker played his usual starring role. Shooting 8-for-17, Tucker paced Wisconsin with 22 points and collected four offensive rebounds, while shooting a stunning 6-for-7 from the free throw line. Junior guard Kammron Taylor was not his typical self, but managed to collect 11 points, playing the entire game.

Then the wheels fell off. The Illini reeled off a 19 point run, crippling the Badger attack, en route to a 66-51 victory at the Kohl Center.
The first 10 minutes of the showdown between Illinois and Wisconsin Tuesday night was like a dream come true for Badger fans.
