Men's Basketball: Badgers extend offensive woes in road loss to Ohio State

By Max Sternberg and Sam Karp | Jan. 29, 2013

For the third straight game, Wisconsin has failed to score 50 points, this time falling a single point shy of the mark in a 58-49 loss to No. 11 Ohio State Tuesday night. Although the Badgers (5-3 Big Ten, 14-7 overall) made a staggering 11 shots from 3-point range, they only managed to hit eight shots from inside the arc, resulting in virtually no inside presence the entire night.

Men's Basketball: Badgers prepare for tough road test

By Vince Huth | Jan. 28, 2013

Wisconsin (5-2 Big Ten, 14-6 overall) may have ended its two-game slide with a win over then-No. 12 Minnesota Saturday, but it won’t be easy for UW to turn that victory into a winning streak. The Badgers will travel to Columbus, Ohio, for a showdown with the No. 11 Buckeyes (5-2, 15-4) Tuesday at the Value City Arena.

Game column: Badgers not doing the little things

By Max Sternberg | Jan. 23, 2013

Whether you are a Wisconsin fan or simply a fan of the game, Tuesday night’s 49-47 Badger loss to Michigan State was about as frustrating as it gets. The game slugged along with neither team hitting the 40 percent mark from the field and a combined 6 points being scored over the final 6:56.

Game Column: Badgers still a team with plenty of holes

By Max Sternberg | Jan. 19, 2013

Tonight I write not as a journalist but simply as a Wisconsin fan, a Wisconsin fan still unable to comprehend what the Badgers have for a 2012-’13 team. After knocking off No. 2 Indiana Tuesday, it seemed as if the sky was the limit. Wisconsin was 4-0 in Big Ten play and in the midst of a seven-game winning streak with Iowa the final opponent on a three-game “road trip.” The Badgers were alone on top of the conference standings and poised to move into the national rankings—potentially into the top 15 or 20.

Men's Basketball: Badgers pull off shocker, continue Hoosier domination

By Max Sternberg | Jan. 16, 2013

Just a few weeks ago, Wisconsin men’s basketball was not even considered a team worthy of NCAA Tournament consideration. After Tuesday night’s shocking upset on the road against No. 2 Indiana (3-1 Big Ten, 15-2 Overall), the Badgers (4-0, 13-4) are once again in the conversation for a Big Ten title. In front of 17,472 Hoosier fans in shock at Assembly Hall, Wisconsin pulled off the impossible with a 64-59 win.

Men's Basketball: Streaking Badgers face tough task in Bloomington

By Max Sternberg and Katie Panosh | Jan. 15, 2013

BLOOMINGTON, Ind.—Coming off by far its best performance of the season Saturday against Illinois, Wisconsin faces No. 2 Indiana at perhaps the best time possible. Although the Hoosiers (3-0 Big Ten, 15-1 Overall) have not beaten UW since the Kelvin Sampson era, the Badgers (3-0, 12-4) will need to have a near-perfect effort just to compete against an IU team that can make a good case as the best in the nation.

Men's Basketball: Badgers begin defining stretch with statement win

By Max Sternberg | Jan. 12, 2013

Having failed to notch a truly marquee win in non-conference play, Wisconsin men’s basketball entered the conference season in need of a few big ones in order to make a 15th straight NCAA Tournament. Although they were able to avoid setbacks against lowly Penn State and Nebraska last week, the defining part of the Badgers’ season didn’t begin until Saturday’s game against No. 12 Illinois (1-3 Big Ten, 14-4 Overall), the beginning of an 11-game stretch in which every opponent is a legitimate NCAA Tournament contender. On the strength of a 14-0 run to start the game, Wisconsin (3-0, 12-4) got the statement victory it desperately needed, defeating the Illini by a final score of 74-51.

Men's Basketball: Badgers come out flat and fall to Marquette

By Max Sternberg and Liz Puibello | Dec. 8, 2012

Whatever hope was born out of Wisconsin’s wins over California and Nebraska-Omaha last week was lost over forty minutes of ugly basketball Saturday in Milwaukee. Playing without junior forward Mike Bruesewitz, the Badgers (6-4) lacked energy and poise from the opening tip, committing 10 first-half turnovers en route to a 34-20 halftime deficit. Ultimately, that deficit was simply too much to overcome as UW fell to Marquette 60-50.

Friend, coach, mentor at risk

By By Adam Wolf and C.P. VanValkenburg | Dec. 5, 2012

Like many who watched the Penn State-Wisconsin football game a few weeks ago, I couldn’t avoid thinking about last year’s horrifying revelations of former Nittany Lions Assistant Coach Jerry Sandusky’s crimes against children. From the infamous 23-page grand jury indictment to the cringe-worthy phone interview with Sandusky on NBC’s “Rock Center”—I will never forget a sullen Bob Costas speaking of “rhythmic slap, slap, slapping sounds”—the news story was unlike anything I’d ever come across before. The lurid accusations, the high-profile figures, the institutional failure—it all seemed so surreal.
