Let’s all give some kudos to the NCAA. It has somehow managed to challenge the NFL’s level of hypocrisy, something not thought possible in the last month with pro football’s chronic domestic violence issues.
It was quite thematic of the Badgers’ season.
For the first time since March 5, basketball returned to the Kohl Center. The Badgers welcomed fans back home for their annual Red/White scrimmage to kick off a season with expectations higher than any in living memory.
The No. 5 Badgers’ (9-1 Big Ten, 18-2 overall) win streak continued after they defeated No. 14 Nebraska (6-4, 12-7) Sunday afternoon at the UW Field House. Wisconsin swept Nebraska in three sets 25-19, 25-21, 25-18.
The No. 13 Badgers (9-2-1 Big Ten, 15-2-1 overall) picked up two hard-fought wins over the weekend in their final homestand of the year.
After a sweep last week at the hands of rival Minnesota, the Badgers (6-2-0 WCHA, 8-2-0 overall) headed to Bemidji State and got their season back on track with a sweep of their own over the Beavers.
In the team’s most complete effort of the season, Wisconsin thoroughly dominated Maryland in a 52-7 victory Saturday at Camp Randall.
An unusual feeling came across the UW men's soccer squad Wednesday night.
Although they seemed finished just one month ago, Melvin Gordon’s Heisman Trophy chances have rebounded as the running back has emerged as a legitimate contender for college football’s most prestigious award.
As teams across the country enter the second half of their schedules, there might be more questions now than there were at the beginning of the season. Races for several conference titles and the Heisman Trophy remain wide open, and the College Football Playoff picture is still very much unclear thanks to a logjam in the SEC West. Here are some of the biggest games to watch this week as the college football season enters its home stretch.
It was a fairly calm week in the Big Ten with four teams on byes. Michigan State and Ohio State both won their games 56-17, Maryland looked strong and a major poll found Minnesota’s one-point win over Purdue very impressive for some reason. Here’s how that all shook it out in the rankings for eight of our voters.
Maryland is well on its way to making a bowl game for the second straight year. At 5-2, they currently sit at third in the East division of the Big Ten, coming off of a big conference win over Iowa last week.
Coming off their second and final bye week of the season, the Badgers (1-1 Big Ten, 4-2 overall) look to start the home stretch with a win against Maryland (2-1, 5-2). Let’s take a look at five things to watch during the game.
This is the sixth edition of the Heisman Watch, a weekly feature tracking the candidates for college football’s most prestigious award. For last week's rankings, click here.
After being swept by rival Minnesota at LaBahn Arena last weekend, including an overtime loss Saturday, No. 2 Wisconsin will hit the road to take on Bemidji State.
No. 5 Wisconsin (8-1 Big Ten, 17-2 overall) swept Iowa (1-8, 9-11) Wednesday night at the Field House to extend its winning streak to eight.
Following its second bye week of the year, Wisconsin will face Maryland in the first ever meeting between the teams Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium.
After an enormous road win in Minneapolis, the Badgers (7-2-1 Big Ten, 13-2-1 overall) will take on Rutgers (7-2-1, 11-2-1) Friday in what will be the Badgers’ most important game of the season thus far.
Facing their in-state rival for the first time since sending them home in the NCAA Tournament last season, Wisconsin (0-5-0 Big Ten, 3-9-2 overall) emerged victorious in a 1-0 contest against Milwaukee (2-3-1 Horizon, 5-9-2).
A few years ago, I wouldn’t have thought it possible that I’d be expressing sympathy for a guy who spent several nights of passion with Jessica Simpson (in her prime) on a Caribbean island, but here we are.
