After two blowout victories at Camp Randall to start off head coach Gary Andersen’s inaugural season at Wisconsin, the Badgers face their first real test on the road against Arizona State Saturday.
With a 6-0 record under its belt and the first national top 25 ranking since 2008, the Badger volleyball team heads home with preseason momentum to the 22nd InnTowner Invitational at the University of Wisconsin Field House.
Saying that this year has been a transition for the Badgers’ defense would be an understatement. A first-year defensive coordinator and a new scheme are the highlights of the new-look Wisconsin defense.
Racking up 45 and 48 points in consecutive weeks usually indicates a strong offense.
Modern action sports, as a whole, are a money-centric operation.

Buzzer-beaters are common in some sports, dramatic in them all. In a low-scoring game such as soccer, they are especially memorable.
The Badgers expected to win.
Almost 2,000 fans welcomed the Wisconsin men's soccer team (1-0-1 overall) to the fifth annual PAC the MAC event Friday night at the McClimon Soccer Complex.
All eyes are on new head coach Gary Andersen this Saturday as the Badgers host Tennessee Tech at Camp Randall Stadium.
Since Gary Andersen has taken over at the helm, turnover within the Badger football program has been dramatic and it grew even more dramatic Tuesday, as Wisconsin assistant strength coach Brian Bott has resigned due to family reasons. While his contract lasts until Sunday, Bott announced the move June 10 to the players, according to Tom Mulhern of the Wisconsin State Journal.

For anyone who has suffered through a cold, drawn-out Wisconsin winter, there is little to brag about when describing the weather in the Midwest. While walking more than a quarter of a mile outside in early February is often a challenge, battling the harsh conditions of an often non-existent spring proves to be even more difficult for softball players. Such an unforgiving climate makes for a few months of almost solely indoor practices and numerous cross-country road trips for the Wisconsin softball team.
Every spring brings new life and most importantly, a new group of freshmen to the Wisconsin Badgers’ men’s tennis team. This spring, spectators at Nielsen Tennis Stadium got to witness a very special group of freshmen play their first sets as Badgers.
The player-coach relationship is an interesting one if you take a look at the longevity of it in the realm of college athletics. You have coaches like UCLA’s John Wooden, Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, North Carolina’s Dean Smith and Alabama’s Nick Saban who stand at the pinnacle of this relationship and reflect the qualities of character, equality and hard work, and the list goes on and on.
The last three days have had their fair share of big moments in the sports world. The NFL Draft was as unpredictable as ever. Steph Curry further cemented his status as one of the best young guards in the NBA against the Nuggets.
