Let me start with something objectively, categorically true: every single FDA-approved vaccine is safe and effective. They won’t make you infertile, and Bill Gates is not microchipping you (you’re not important enough, trust me). If we can’t agree on that, then you are the problem, full stop.
In a statement released Wednesday, fifth-year guard Brad Davison announced that he would be returning to the Wisconsin Badgers men’s basketball team for a final season. The 21-year-old Davison said “there is no place I would rather be than Madison,” and that he’s “grateful” to have the chance for one final season.
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. Brian Kemp. The controversial move was met with a number of concerns, like the loss of revenue for local Atlanta businesses. The biggest snafu, though, is finding a new location for an event that’s just a few months away.
The week after Selection Sunday and before the beginning of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament is always a frenzied week in sports. Fans can’t get enough insights on their brackets as they furiously try to pick the right upsets. Everyone from high school students to CEOs try to figure out how they’re going to get out of work to watch the first round. Frankly, it’s one of the most beautiful sights in sports. Diehard college basketball fans work so hard to score the perfect bracket only to lose to their stoner roommate who picked the biggest upset of the year because he thought Oral Roberts sounded funny.
The momentum of a blowout win against North Carolina wasn’t enough for the Wisconsin Badgers (18-13 overall, 10-10 Big Ten) to overcome the No. 1 seed Baylor Bears (24-2 overall, 13-1 Big 12) as they lost in the NCAA Tournament Round of 32 by a score of 76-63.

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. Unfortunately for Greg Gard and company, the Badgers got an incredibly unfavorable matchup in the No. 8 seed North Carolina Tar Heels (18-10 overall, 10-6 ACC).
Fourteen turnovers. A nine-minute field goal drought to end the game. A five-second violation with under a minute despite having a timeout. And yet, they still only lost by single digits.
The No. 25 Badgers (16-11 overall, 10-10 Big Ten) and the No. 5 Iowa Hawkeyes (20-7 overall, 14-7 Big Ten) were on their way to a classic Big Ten finish. With three and a half minutes to go, the game was tied at 63 points apiece. It had been tight the whole way down. The Badgers were finally hitting their shots and were playing lockdown defense; Wooden Award candidate Luka Garza and Badger kryptonite Jordan Bohannon kept the Hawkeyes in the game.
The No. 25 Wisconsin Badgers (16-10 overall, 10-9 Big Ten) dropped their seventh straight game against a ranked team, this time in West Lafayette against No. 23 Purdue (17-8 overall, 12-7 Big Ten) by a score of 73-69.
In what could be many of the roster’s last game at the Kohl Center, the No. 23 Wisconsin Badgers (16-8 overall, 10-7 Big Ten) will face the No. 5 Illini (17-6 overall, 13-4 Big Ten) for the Badgers’ senior game on Saturday afternoon. All but two of the players in Greg Gard’s rotation — freshman Jonathan Davis and sophomore Tyler Wahl — are seniors.
The No. 21 Badgers (15-7 overall, 9-6 Big Ten) will look to continue their streak of wins coming off of losses as they host No. 11 Iowa (15-6 overall, 9-5 Big Ten) and Wooden Award frontrunner Luka Garza on Thursday evening.
The No. 21 Wisconsin Badgers (9-5 Big Ten, 15-6 overall) return to the Kohl Center for what could be their biggest game of the regular season - a rematch against the No. 3 Michigan Wolverines (8-1 Big Ten, 13-1 overall) as they return from a two week long pause due to COVID-19 variants present in the Michigan Athletics community.
In a disheartening performance, the Badgers (8-5 Big Ten, 14-6 overall) were crushed by the Illinois Fighting Illini (9-3 Big Ten, 13-5 overall) by a score of 75-60 in Champaign, Ill. The Badgers were outrebounded 46-20 and shot just 4-24 from three-point range.
Tuesday evening’s victory against Penn State was much bigger than just a convincing home win against an underperforming Big Ten team. It was the confidence-building revenge game that the Wisconsin Badgers (8-4 Big Ten, 14-5 overall) needed as they approach the most daunting part of their schedule.
The Badgers men’s basketball team (6-2 Big Ten, 12-3 overall) returns to the court to take on the No. 15 Ohio State Buckeyes (5-4 Big Ten, 11-4 overall) for a Saturday afternoon matinee.
First, I should probably congratulate the Packers on a decisive win yesterday. They did, in fact, beat the Rams. I mean, Aaron Donald was playing with broken ribs and starting quarterback Jared Goff had thumb surgery three weeks ago and the Packers did everything they could to work Davante Adams away from Jalen Ramsey, but they did win. So kudos to them.
The No. 9 Wisconsin Badgers (4-2 Big Ten, 10-3 overall) head to Piscataway, N.J. to take on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (3-4 Big Ten, 7-4 overall) on Friday evening. Both teams are looking to recover from debilitating losses. For the Badgers, it’s their worst loss of the season to No. 7 Michigan last Tuesday; for the Scarlet Knights, it’s a three-game Big Ten losing streak that’s lasted all of 2021.
