Wilcox's schemes similar to Aranda's

By Lorin Cox | Jun. 9, 2016

There’s a new face running the show for the Wisconsin Badgers’ defense this season. With former defensive coordinator Dave Aranda off to LSU, Justin Wilcox is taking over the unit that allowed the second-fewest yards per game in the country last season, so expectations will be high in 2016. Despite the changes at the top, Wisconsin fans shouldn’t notice too many differences with the way the defense looks on the field.

Bo Ryan sex scandal will not go away anytime soon

By Jessi Schoville | Jun. 6, 2016

The Bo Ryan sex scandal appears to be just beginning after a notice of claim was filed with the Attorney General on behalf of Robin Van Ert, a massage therapist who Ryan admitted to having extramarital affairs with after his abrupt resignation from the Wisconsin Basketball program last December.

Nigel Hayes returning to Wisconsin for senior season

By Zach Rastall | May. 25, 2016

Nigel Hayes’ time as a Badger isn’t done quite yet. Hayes will withdraw his name from the 2016 NBA draft and return to Wisconsin for his senior season, the Wisconsin State Journal’s Jim Polzin reported Tuesday night. “Getting the opportunity to gather information about the NBA and visit with professionals at that level was a really valuable experience for me,” Hayes said in a statement. “Playing in the NBA still remains an important goal for me, but that can wait another year. I’m excited to get back to work to pursue that dream, as well as the dream of getting my degree and helping my teammates, my brothers, bring a championship to Wisconsin.” With the 6-foot-7 forward making his return to Madison for the 2016-’17 season, the Badgers will be returning every major contributor from last year’s team that made an improbable mid-season turnaround culminating in their fifth trip to the Sweet Sixteen in the last six years. Hayes led the team in a number of categories, including points per game (15.7), assists per game (3.0) and minutes per game (36.2). However, he did see a significant dip in his shooting percentages.

Watt joins Gordon in San Diego

By Lorin Cox | May. 1, 2016

The 2014 Wisconsin Badgers backfield is having a reunion in San Diego, as the Chargers selected UW fullback Derek Watt with the 198th overall pick in the sixth round of the 2016 NFL draft Saturday.

Linebacker Joe Schobert was selected by the Cleveland Browns with the first pick in the fourth round of the NFL Draft.

Schobert drafted 99th overall by Browns

By Lorin Cox | Apr. 30, 2016

Wisconsin outside linebacker Joe Schobert had to be disappointed when his name wasn’t called through the first two days of the 2016 NFL draft, but he didn’t have to wait long on Saturday to hear his name called.

After graduating from Wisconsin last season, Blayre Turnbull has tested the waters in the CWHL with the Calgary Inferno.

Blayre Turnbull was used to playing in front of raucous, sellout crowds in LaBahn Arena. But after her illustrious four-year Badger career concluded last spring, Turnbull traded in her red and white Wisconsin jersey for a red and white Calgary Inferno jersey.

Rushing emerges as viable wide receiver threat for UW

By Jessi Schoville | Apr. 28, 2016

The question marks surrounding the receiver position are nothing new at Wisconsin, but George Rushing’s Spring Game performance showed fans, players and maybe even the coaching staff that the Cardinal receivers can be a productive and deep group in the 2016 season. For head coach Paul Chryst, it was more than just Rushing’s Spring Game that showed he might be ready to step up and play a major role in the Badger offense. “George has worked this spring,” Chryst said plainly.

Badgers welcome in-state rival Green Bay to Goodman Diamond

By Ben Leadholm | Apr. 25, 2016

Fresh off a competitive home series against Illinois, Wisconsin (9-7-1 Big Ten, 24-19-1) takes a break from Big Ten play to host a doubleheader with in-state rival Green Bay. The Badgers won just one of the three games against Illinois, but they had a chance to tie or win the game in each of their losses. Friday’s game one was a back-and-forth contest and it wasn’t until some late-inning Badger miscues gave the game to Illinois.
