BUFFALO, N.Y. — As Zak Showalter watched the final seconds of No. 8 seed Wisconsin’s (27-9) 65-62 win over No. 1 seed Villanova (32-4) tick off the clock, his arms shot up toward the sky. Standing at the free-throw line across from the Wildcats’ bench, Showalter stood frozen in the same pose Rocky Balboa stood in Philadelphia, the site of Wisconsin’s Sweet 16 loss last season.
BUFFALO — When the clock hit 0.00, redshirt senior guard Zak Showalter’s two hands shot up into the sky. At halfcourt, Villanova’s Kris Jenkins’ hands sunk to his knees and his head stared down at the floor.
BUFFALO, N.Y. — When Ethan Happ, Zak Showalter and D’Mitrik Trice watched tape in preparation for No. 8 seed Wisconsin’s (26-9) matchup with No. 1 seed Villanova (32-3) Saturday afternoon, they recognized what they were seeing.
BUFFALO, N.Y. — After missing the final two games of the Big Ten Tournament due to multiple deaths in his family, sophomore swingman Khalil Iverson returned to the floor in style Thursday night.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Bronson Koenig has made some big three-pointers in the NCAA tournament throughout his four years at Wisconsin.

BUFFALO, NY — With blistering winds and constant snowfall, No. 8-seed Wisconsin’s (25-8 overall) trip to Buffalo certainly isn’t the most warm or inviting location for a Spring Break trip.
How far will Wisconsin go?
Vitto Brown almost never wears his two Final Four rings. He knows where they are—in a mural of his athletic achievements at his house in Bowling Green, Ohio—but the rings, for now, are just museum relics on display for visitors of the Brown house to marvel at.
WASHINGTON—Less than an hour after losing to Michigan in the Big Ten Championship game, No. 24 Wisconsin (12-6 Big Ten, 25-9 overall) learned it would be playing Virginia Tech (10-8 ACC, 22-10 overall) in Buffalo on Thursday.
WASHINGTON — On multiple occasions this season, redshirt sophomore Ethan Happ has had to run extra sprints in front of teammates at the end of a Wisconsin practice. The Badgers end every practice with free throws and at times, when players miss, head coach Greg Gard has made the culprits run.
WASHINGTON — In the games leading up to No. 24 Wisconsin’s (12-6 Big Ten, 24-8 overall) 66-59 loss to Northwestern (10-8, 23-10) in mid-February, the Badgers had been playing with fire.
WASHINGTON — D’Mitrik Trice didn’t sleep much before Wisconsin’s Big Ten Tournament game against Indiana Friday night. And when the freshman got off the bus and entered the Verizon Center Friday night, he said he felt a “different feeling” than he does before most games.
Growing up in Marion, Iowa, Jordan Bohannon was a Badgers fan. Over the years, the Iowa Hawkeyes’ freshman point guard had been to the Kohl Center to watch two of his older brothers, both former Wisconsin basketball players, play more times than he can count.
Even with four seniors set to play in their final home game of their careers later this week, the No. 22 Wisconsin Badgers (11-5 Big Ten, 22-7 overall) are never too experienced to go back to basics.
For years, in the driveway outside of Zak Showalter’s house in Germantown, Wis., the Badger guard played basketball with a clear disadvantage. When the family game of pickup broke out, it was always 2-on-1. Zak played alone while his younger brother, Jake, played alongside their dad, Steve.
The No. 16 Wisconsin Badgers (11-4 Big Ten, 22-6 overall) thought they had solved a number of problems and righted their ship after last Sunday’s 71-60 win over Maryland. But after falling to Ohio State 83-73 on Thursday, a new leak has sprung up.
The No. 16 Wisconsin Badgers (11-4 Big Ten, 22-6 overall) have made losing to unranked opponents a habit in the last two weeks. Yet unlike in Wisconsin’s loses to Northwestern and Michigan, it was lackadaisical defense, not sluggish offense that led to the Badgers falling to lowly Ohio State (6-10, 16-13), 83-73.
As the rest of his teammates filed out of the Nicholas Johnson Pavilion Friday evening, freshman guard D’Mitrik Trice stayed behind. Trice, who started in place of injured point guard senior Bronson Koenig Thursday in Wisconsin’s loss to Michigan, was working on his offensive repertoire less than 24 hours after finishing 2-of-15 from the field.
