Wisconsin rides an offensive tidal wave against Kentucky

By Zach Rastall | Apr. 4, 2015

INDIANAPOLIS—Saturday night’s Final Four showdown between top seeds Kentucky and Wisconsin has all the ingredients to be an evenly matched contest, as the country’s most efficient offense will take on the nation’s most stout defense. Since Ken Pomeroy started tracking tempo-free statistics back in 2002, no team has posted a higher offensive efficiency rating than this Wisconsin team.

Meet the Juggernaut: A cheat sheet for the Kentucky roster

By Jack Baer | Mar. 31, 2015

Before we get into the nitty-gritty of the Kentucky roster, it’s worth noting just how deep head coach John Calipari enjoys going into his treasure trove of five-star recruits. If you were to make a list of every player in Saturday’s game and order them by the percentage of minutes played for their team, the Top 5 would be entirely Wisconsin players and spots 6 through 13 would be entirely Kentucky. Wisconsin’s most used lineup is on the court 48.3 percent of the time; Kentucky’s is used just 13.1 percent.

Rematch with Oregon lacking in familiar faces

By Jack Baer | Mar. 21, 2015

In case you haven’t heard, the No. 1-seeded Badgers (32-3 overall) are playing No. 8-seed Oregon in the NCAA Tournament’s Round of 32 for the second year in a row. The Badgers return almost the same team. The Ducks? Not so much.

Wisconsin iced out in Frozen Four with loss to Minnesota

By Lorin Cox | Mar. 20, 2015

It is fitting that the last two rounds of the NCAA tournament are called the Frozen Four. As the Badgers fell to the Minnesota Golden Gophers, Wisconsin had a frozen four of their own - their senior forwards. Brittany Ammerman, Blayre Turnbull, Karley Sylvester and Katy Josephs each put shots on the net, but none of them could put points on the board in their team’s 1-3 loss.
