Badgers face Vermont in first NCAA contest in eight years

By Mark Bennett | Mar. 19, 2010

The Wisconsin women's basketball team, receiving its first NCAA tournament bid since 2002 and just seventh overall, were handsomely rewarded for their strong efforts all season with a seventh seed. The Badgers take on the No. 10 seed Vermont Catamounts Sunday at noon in South Bend, Ind.

UW won't beat UK to get to Elite Eight

By Jack Doyle | Mar. 19, 2010

March Madness is finally upon us and I couldn't be more excited. The Badgers have a No. 4 seed, there are no clear-cut favorites besides Kansas and there are a plethora of upsets waiting to happen—it's going to be a fantastic tournament. That being said I'm still a little disappointed with the chance of any Big Ten team making a deep run. What follows is my attempt to be a Joe Lunardi-wannabe in analyzing the Big Ten's Big Dance possibilities.

UW continues fight for the Broadmoor Cup

By Nico Savidge and Tom Walsh | Mar. 19, 2010

One might think there is a temptation among members of the Wisconsin men's hockey team to take their Friday contest against St. Cloud State in the WCHA Tournament semifinal for granted. After all, the Badgers spent nearly the entire year at the top level of the conference, joined by only one team—Denver—a squad they could face for the conference playoff championship Saturday night.

Columnist's note: Yes it's almost March Madness, yes the column name has changed but somehow it's about hockey. Well here's the thing, the Dance has been analyzed and overanalyzed with most points of view being taken. This column could throw out something outlandish with the hope it would grab attention or move over already traveled ground and get lost in the noise. Instead, it's about hockey. Enjoy the column and the most wonderful two days of the sports year.

Final Five now awaits Wisconsin after Badgers sweep away Alaska-Anchorage

By Parker Gabriel | Mar. 15, 2010

Senior forward Aaron Bendickson says he is not a spotlight type of guy, that he doesn't like a whole lot of attention. It would be hard to imagine, however, that he did not enjoy his final seven minutes at the Kohl Center.  The center scored his 10th and 11th goals of the season in a 12-second span to put the game out of reach in the third period and send the Badgers to the WCHA Final Five next weekend in St. Paul.

Gudmandson securing starter status

By Parker Gabriel | Mar. 15, 2010

In the midst of Ryan Miller's string of dominating performances between the pipes for Team USA in the Olympics, Wisconsin head coach Mike Eaves said that a hot goaltender ""can steal you a series, can steal you a cup, can steal you a national championship."" After sweeping Alaska-Anchorage and punching a ticket to the WCHA Final Five next weekend in St. Paul, it appears that UW junior goaltender Scott Gudmandson is heating up at the right time.

WCHA Playoffs commence as Badgers face Seawolves

By Parker Gabriel | Mar. 12, 2010

If the regular season stood as a barometer of success in college hockey, the Badgers would have to be satisfied. Their second place WCHA finish is the highest since Mike Eaves took over as head coach in 2002. They ranked in the top-five nationally in goals scored, scoring average, scoring margin, shots allowed and scoring defense. Ultimately, though, the success of this team will be measured on what happens over the next four weeks.

English star Owen a sad soccer story

By Jack Doyle | Mar. 12, 2010

I hate when athletes with so much potential end up falling short because of injuries. Whether it is Boobie Miles, Mark Prior or Marcus Camby, I can't help but feel sympathy—even pity—toward these would-be greats. So when Manchester United's Michael Owen went down for the season after suffering a torn hamstring, I was devastated for the 30-year-old striker.
