Bohannon buries Badgers with late three in closing seconds

By Ben Pickman | Mar. 2, 2017

With the blink of an eye, the No. 22 Wisconsin Badgers (11-6 Big Ten, 22-8 overall) saw their victory over the Iowa Hawkeyes (9-8, 17-13) vanish. After two missed free throws by redshirt sophomore Ethan Happ with 29 seconds to go, Iowa received a timely basket by a familiar Kohl Center face. Hawkeye freshman guard Jordan Bohannon, the younger brother of former Badgers Zach and Jason Bohannon, knocked down the game-winning 3-pointer with just nine seconds left.

By Isaiah De los Santos | Mar. 1, 2017

The No. 11 seed Badgers opened up Big Ten Tournament play against the No. 14 seed Rutgers, and the two were tied 6-6 with 3:16 left in the first quarter. The game was never tied again, as the Badgers (3-13 Big Ten, 9-21 overall) went on to the win the first quarter 14-6, the first half 27-13, and ultimately the game 61-55 against the Scarlet Knights (3-12, 6-24). “We've talked a lot as a team since the game ended at Iowa on Sunday night about doing something that nobody in the program currently had done: win a first round game,” head coach Jonathan Tsipis told UWBadgers.com. Redshirt senior forward Avyanna Young led her young squad with 20 points, and also added four rebounds and three assists. While Young did pour in almost a third of her team’s points, Rutgers’ Shrita Parker did her best to keep her team afloat with 24 points in the game.

Wednesday word: Fans should care more when athletes disrespect media

By Jake Nisse | Mar. 1, 2017

In December 2016, Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman threatened to “ruin the career” of local radio host Jim Moore after he asked the 28-year-old about his conflict with the team’s offensive coordinator, Darrell Bevell. While this incident flew largely under the radar in the national media landscape, it has been brought back to light after Sherman denied this incident on a recent ESPN interview.

Wisconsin hopes to slow down young, speedy Hawkeyes

By Ben Pickman | Mar. 1, 2017

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. After two road losses last week to Ohio State and Michigan State in which UW surrendered more than 80 points, Wisconsin is re-emphasizing some of its basic principles on defense as they look to rebound Thursday at home against Iowa (8-8, 16-13), a young team with high potential. While the Badgers might have tied a season-high for points allowed Sunday in their 84-74 loss to Michigan State, head coach Greg Gard actually saw improvement in his team’s defense. Gard noted that UW’s aggressiveness and physicality was better than it was in their 83-73 loss to Ohio State Thursday.

Badgers continue to stumble, this time in East Lansing

By Thomas Valtin-Erwin | Feb. 26, 2017

It had been 13 years since the Badgers bested Michigan State at the Breslin Center. Finally, with a Spartan team struggling to win games and without their senior leader Eron Harris, UW had a shot to break a nine-game road losing streak to MSU. But Sunday afternoon, Harris was on the floor and the No. 16 Badgers (11-5 Big Ten, 22-7 overall) dropped their tenth straight game in East Lansing, Mich., to an explosive Spartans team (10-6, 18-11). Though Harris played just eight seconds as he rested with season-ending knee surgery, there was a different energy in the building for his senior night.
