Happ, Badgers use second-half comeback to rally past Illinois

By Zach Rastall | Feb. 21, 2016

Trailing by 13 with just over 12 minutes left in the game, Wisconsin appeared headed for a devastating home loss that would’ve dealt a serious blow to its NCAA Tournament aspirations. The offense had been stagnant all night, Illinois seemingly couldn’t miss in the second half and the Badgers were in dire straits. But thanks to some heroics from Ethan Happ and Co. down the stretch, a disaster was averted for UW. Behind a 28-4 second-half rally, Wisconsin (9-5 Big Ten, 17-10 overall) defeated Illinois (4-10, 12-15) 69-60 Sunday night at the Kohl Center.

Badgers look to bounce back against Illinois

By Matt Tragesser | Feb. 20, 2016

Thursday’s lackluster performance in a loss to No. 8 Michigan State may have brought significant concern for players and fans, but the reality of the matter is that Wisconsin had an uncharismatic game and was defeated by arguably one of the nation’s top teams.

Column: The evolving world of sports fandom

By Jake Powers | Feb. 19, 2016

Now, Hinrich represents the time in my sports fandom when things were simpler. The politics, business, scandals and insane amount of scrutiny surrounding both collegiate and professional sports didn’t concern me when Hinrich broke into the league.

Maryland Madness: A review of the raucous Terrapin crowd and exemplary bench seating

By Matt Ferris | Feb. 18, 2016

If you’re reading this column, I assume that you follow the basketball team at least casually. So unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past four weeks, you know that we haven’t lost a game for four weeks (knock on wood). In the basketball world, we call this a winning streak. Most recently, we defeated Maryland, a Big Ten goliath which hasn’t lost on its home court since its inception in the conference two years ago.
