Senior guard Bronson Koenig sat out Tuesday afternoon’s practice resting the calf injury he sustained in No. 11 Wisconsin’s (10-2 Big Ten, 21-4) victory over Penn State last month. But when the Badgers travel to Ann Arbor, Mich., to face the Michigan Wolverines (6-6, 16-9) Thursday night, Koenig is expected to be in uniform.

It’s football Saturday in Madison, Wis., and the Badgers are set to kickoff at 11 a.m. All around campus, thousands of students wake up unusually early. They head to the nearest dining hall or make food in their apartments. But breakfast is consumed only out of necessity. It’s in preparation for the long day of drinking ahead of them.

Vitto Brown didn’t go to bed until 3:30 a.m. Thursday night. Hours earlier, No. 7 Wisconsin (10-1 Big Ten, 21-3 overall) had sneaked by Nebraska in a hard-fought overtime victory. At 8:50 a.m. just a few hours after flying back into Madison, Brown found himself in his first of three Friday classes.

Brevin Pritzl has tried just about everything to get on the court. At the end of last year, the redshirt freshman began growing out his hair, hoping a “new year, new me” mantra would help him see the floor. He didn’t take a scissors to his hair until he had flowing blonde locks, sometimes containing them in a man bun. But basketball isn’t modeling; aesthetics don’t always matter.

Redshirt sophomore Ethan Happ’s breakaway slam with just over three minutes to play in No. 10 Wisconsin’s (9-1 Big Ten, 20-3 overall) 65-60 victory over Indiana (5-6, 15-9) was just about the only highlight that the Badgers had Sunday afternoon. Bruises, charges, free throws and strong post play on both ends were both far more common.

In the midst of No. 10 Wisconsin’s (7-1 Big Ten, 18-3 overall) putrid shooting performance Saturday afternoon against Rutgers, head coach Greg Gard resorted to jokes to loosen up his players.

NEW YORK—The No. 15 Wisconsin Badgers (7-1 Big Ten, 18-3 overall) might have traveled halfway across the country to face the Rutgers Scarlet Knights in Madison Square Garden Saturday afternoon, but there was little to no showmanship in the Badgers’ trip to Broadway.

Don’t let No. 15 Wisconsin’s (5-1 Big Ten, 16-3 overall) record fool you; the Badgers have yet to play a complete 40-minute game this season. Time and again Wisconsin has found a way to win conference games, pulling out close victories against Minnesota, Michigan and Indiana. But in those three wins, and most of their quality wins throughout both conference and non-conference play, the Badgers have gone through extended stretches where they struggle.

While waiting in line for more than hour, junior forward Zach Bohannon decided to strike up a conversation with outgoing Wisconsin senator Herb Kohl. They talked for a short time about Wisconsin basketball, about recent Milwaukee Bucks draft pick and former Badger Jon Leuer and even a little politics.

Sophomore forward Ethan Happ and senior forward Nigel Hayes might have combined for 49 of the No. 17 Wisconsin Badgers’ (5-1 Big Ten, 16-3 overall) 78 points Saturday evening, but when the Badgers needed a basket most, it was the third member of Wisconsin’s big three, senior guard Bronson Koenig, who made the key play.

Jordan Hill spent the majority of Monday’s practice wearing a blue pinnie. The junior point guard, who saw his minutes diminish over the first half of UW’s season, was running Wisconsin’s scout team. He was not working alongside seniors Nigel Hayes or Vitto Brown, but was instead tasked with attacking sophomore forward Ethan Happ and senior guard Bronson Koenig off the dribble.

Senior guard Bronson Koenig scored a team-high 16 points, including 12 in the game’s final six minutes, to lead the Badgers in what turned out to be Wisconsin’s most enthused game of the season. The No. 17 Badgers (4-1 Big Ten, 15-3 overall), led by Koenig and redshirt sophomore forward Ethan Happ, held off the Wolverines (2-4, 12-7), winning 68-64.

Senior forward Nigel Hayes and the rest of No. 17 Wisconsin’s (4-1 Big Ten, 14-3 overall) starters spent a large portion of Monday afternoon’s practice competing against players in navy blue jerseys. The Michigan Wolverines (2-3, 12-6) are in town Tuesday evening, and in preparation, the Badgers’ core rotation worked diligently to defeat their own scout team wearing Michigan’s primary color.

Senior guard Bronson Koenig scored 21 points on five-of-seven shooting from three and senior forward Nigel Hayes added 15 points and four assists as yet again the No. 18 Wisconsin Badgers (3-1 Big Ten, 14-3 overall) bounced back from a loss, upending the Ohio State Buckeyes (0-4, 10-7) by a score of 89-66.

Futility and Rutgers basketball have been like Siamese twins, tied together by the hip for the past 15 years. The duo doesn’t go forward, though; almost every time the Scarlet Knights try to take a step in the right direction, they instead move one or two steps back. Only twice in that span has Rutgers finished a season with more wins than losses, and they haven’t accomplished that feat since the 2005-’06 season.
