Men's Hockey: Badgers get last chance for home win before break
By Matt Masterson | Dec. 13, 2012The Wisconsin men’s hockey team (2-5-5 WCHA, 2-7-5 overall) is coming off of two straight ties against Michigan Tech last weekend, but the Badgers are still in search of their first home win of the season. The team will have one more chance before winter break as they host Alabama-Huntsville (3-12-1) in a rare Thursday/Friday series this week.

Men's Basketball: Badgers come out flat and fall to Marquette
By Max Sternberg and Liz Puibello | Dec. 8, 2012Whatever hope was born out of Wisconsin’s wins over California and Nebraska-Omaha last week was lost over forty minutes of ugly basketball Saturday in Milwaukee. Playing without junior forward Mike Bruesewitz, the Badgers (6-4) lacked energy and poise from the opening tip, committing 10 first-half turnovers en route to a 34-20 halftime deficit. Ultimately, that deficit was simply too much to overcome as UW fell to Marquette 60-50.

Badgers return to practice, begin Rose Bowl prep with Alvarez
By Parker Gabriel | Dec. 8, 2012The Wisconsin football team conducted practice without Bret Bielema at the helm of the program for the first time in seven years Saturday afternoon. With Barry Alvarez adding interim head coaching duties to his standing duties as the school’s director of athletics, the energy level appeared to be high throughout.

Football: Alvarez to coach Badgers in Rose Bowl
By Ryan Hill | Dec. 7, 2012If it was not for a meeting put together by team captains following the news that former head coach Bret Bielema had bolted to Arkansas, Barry Alvarez would still be carrying out normal duties of Director of Athletics and searching for a new head football coach. Now, Alvarez’s next month will be even busier.

Men's Basketball: Wisconsin and Marquette to renew in-state rivalry
By Vince Huth | Dec. 7, 2012The Wisconsin men’s basketball team (6-3 overall) will play what is perhaps its most important non-conference game of the season when it travels to the Bradley Center Saturday to face in-state rival Marquette (5-2).

Lesser-known sports bring same challenges for student-athletes
By Jaime Brackeen | Dec. 7, 2012When I went out to get this story, I was hoping to uncover some kind of sports hierarchy, with football at the pinnacle and smaller sports like rowing and rugby forming the base of the pyramid, kind of like the sturdiest four cheerleaders of the squad—they perform just fine, but everyone knows the crowd’s eyes will be drawn to the top.

Men's Hockey: Wisconsin looking for first home win against Michigan Tech
By Matt Masterson | Dec. 6, 2012Coming off of an impressive three-point weekend on the road against Denver, the Wisconsin men’s hockey team (2-5-3 WCHA, 2-7-1 overall) is looking to continue turning their season around at home this weekend against Michigan Tech (3-6-1, 4-8-1).

Women's Hockey: Badgers play host to North Dakota
By Peter Geppert | Dec. 6, 2012After being swept on the road against archrival and top-ranked Minnesota last weekend, the Wisconsin women’s hockey team (6-6-2 WCHA, 10-6-2 overall) would usually be looking to wind down the following weekend against inferior competition. That won't be the case however, as the Badgers must regroup to welcome another rival, the No. 8 ranked North Dakota Fighting Sioux (8-4, 11-5), to La Bahn Arena.

Friend, coach, mentor at risk
By By Adam Wolf and C.P. VanValkenburg | Dec. 5, 2012Like many who watched the Penn State-Wisconsin football game a few weeks ago, I couldn’t avoid thinking about last year’s horrifying revelations of former Nittany Lions Assistant Coach Jerry Sandusky’s crimes against children. From the infamous 23-page grand jury indictment to the cringe-worthy phone interview with Sandusky on NBC’s “Rock Center”—I will never forget a sullen Bob Costas speaking of “rhythmic slap, slap, slapping sounds”—the news story was unlike anything I’d ever come across before. The lurid accusations, the high-profile figures, the institutional failure—it all seemed so surreal.

Football: Badgers moving on after Bielema bolts for Arkansas
By Parker Gabriel | Dec. 5, 2012Bret Bielema’s seven-year tenure as the Wisconsin football team’s head coach came to a sudden, unexpected end Tuesday when he was hired by the Arkansas Razorbacks, throwing the UW program into a state of turmoil four weeks before the Badgers face Stanford in the Rose Bowl.

Badgers earn third-consecutive Rose Bowl trip
By Ryan Hill | Dec. 3, 2012INDIANAPOLIS—It isn’t hard to imagine Wisconsin (4-4 Big Ten, 8-5 overall) offensive coordinator Matt Canada licking his chops leading up to the rematch with Nebraska (7-1, 10-3) in the Big Ten Championship game.

Wisconsin vs. Nebraska: Keys to the game
By Kelly Kallien and Parker Gabriel | Dec. 1, 2012INDIANAPOLIS—When No. 14 Nebraska (10-2 overall, 7-1 Big Ten) and Wisconsin (7-5, 4-4) square off here tonight, an appearance in the Rose Bowl will be on the line. The Badgers have made the trip to Pasadena, Calif. and lost each of the last two years, while the Cornhuskers—previously of the Big 12 Conference—have made just two appearances in school history, losing to Stanford in 1941 and Miami in 2002.

Wisconsin vs. Nebraska: Phillips' comeback provides motivation for Badgers
By Ryan Hill | Dec. 1, 2012If sitting in his Kingsport, Tenn., home watching the Badgers pull off a stunning 42-39 victory over Michigan State in the inaugural Big Ten Championship Game last year didn’t add even more motivation to Curt Phillips’ comeback attempt, it’s likely nothing would have.
