The Wisconsin-Minnesota State rivalry has been a one-sided affair for quite some time. The two teams faced each other seven times last season, and the Badgers won all but one of the games. Prior to that loss, the Badgers had won eight straight matchups between the teams, four of which were shutouts.
In a matchup full of conference championship implications, No. 11 Nebraska heads to Camp Randall Saturday to face No. 22 Wisconsin for supremacy in the Big Ten West.
As the Wisconsin Badgers head into the 2014-’15 season with hopes of being a national championship contender, they’ll be anchored by a pair of returning starters from last season’s Final Four team: Sam Dekker and Frank Kaminsky.
Ben Brust’s departure has left a hole in the Badgers’ starting lineup. To whom will Bo Ryan turn to fill it—physical forward Nigel Hayes or floor general Bronson Koenig?
Let’s take a look at five games (or tournaments) that fall under the “must-watch” category.

Hail Ohio State, new undisputed kings of the Big Ten.

Now, we move onto the game that will likely decide the West.

Imagine yourself a year from now. You’re in the UW Field House, standing in the upper deck, watching a top-tier volleyball team take on the Michigan Wolverines. You and more than 9,000 volleyball fanatics are waiting to erupt while watching match point.

We’re just past the halfway point in the 2014 NFL season, and absolutely no team has separated themselves from the rest of the pack as the bona fide Super Bowl favorite.
It is safe to say the Badgers were slightly snubbed with their seed for the 2014 NCAA Tournament.
Football
Guess who’s back, back again? The Shad Poll’s back, tell a friend!
After two close losses to No. 2 North Dakota, Wisconsin head coach Mike Eaves accurately summed up the weekend in one line.
The No. 4 Badgers (13-1 Big Ten, 22-2 overall) added two more wins to their record after defeating Michigan (6-8, 11-13) and Michigan State (6-7, 13-12) on the road this past weekend.
With their season on the line, Wisconsin was unable to record its first win in Big Ten play all year. In the first round of the Big Ten tournament, the Badgers (0-8-1 Big Ten, 3-12-3 overall) fell to Rutgers (2-6-1, 6-11-1) by a score of 5-2.
