On Friday, April 2, Major League Baseball made the somewhat-shocking decision to move their All-Star game out of Atlanta due to new, oppressive voting rules passed by the state’s Republican legislature and signed by Gov.

Well, the Wisconsin Badgers (17-12 overall, 10-10 Big Ten) have somehow finally crawled out of the Shawshank Redemption-esque sewer that is the Big Ten Conference this year and have emerged in Indiana with a No. 9 seed for the NCAA Tournament.
