Wisconsin Badgers head to Purdue looking to get over .500 in Big Ten play

By Andrew Guckes | Apr. 14, 2017

After an exciting finish to last weekend’s home series against Iowa, Wisconsin (4-5 Big Ten, 25-7 overall) will look to build on early Big Ten success and come away with a couple victories against Purdue (16-27, 5-6) in West Lafayette, Ind. The Badgers needed to win last weekend’s rubber match against Iowa to avoid dropping their first two Big Ten series of the year.

By Bremen Keasey | Apr. 10, 2017

Men's tennis: Wisconsin Badgers face struggling Michigan State Spartans; face huge test against Michigan Wolverines

By Will Stern | Apr. 7, 2017

This weekend the Badgers head East to Michigan to face off against the Spartans on Saturday and the Wolverines on Sunday. Coming off of a weekend that saw Wisconsin take down No. 19 Northwestern, in one of the biggest wins in program history, and then fall to No. 28 Illinois in a disappointing showing, the Badgers sit in second place in the Big Ten. Michigan State has had a rough season thus far.

Unlike other athletes, Emma Paulson made a reverse leap from Division I to Division III and has loved it.

Level up: Athletes leap to top-tier schools from Division III dominance

By Kelly Ward | Apr. 6, 2017

When McKena Ramos was recruited to run track at the UW-Oshkosh four years ago, his coaches never expected that he would become a five-time All-American and two-time national champion in just one season. “When we were recruiting him, I didn’t think he would be able to come in and win a national championship as a freshman,” UW-Oshkosh track and cross-country coach Eamon McKenna said.

Wednesday word: LaVar Ball setting son up to fail with outlandish public behavior

By Jake Nisse | Mar. 30, 2017

LaVar Ball is loving his moment in the spotlight. What may have started as an honest attempt to drum up NBA interest for his son Lonzo, a projected Top 3 pick in the upcoming draft, has cascaded into the formation of his own celebrity and mass attention around his family. LaVar has said his son is better than Steph Curry, told of his desire for a $1 billion dollar shoe contract for his three sons and even appeared on ESPN’s First Take alone to spout that he could beat Michael Jordan in a one-on-one matchup.
