Men's Basketball: Northwestern on deck for Badgers

By Vince Huth | Feb. 20, 2013

While any Big Ten conference schedule would be a grueling test this season, Wisconsin (9-4 Big Ten, 18-8 overall) might have had the toughest slate of any team in the conference the last 10 games. The Badgers have played six ranked teams during that stretch, more than any other Big Ten team. Further, none of those 10 games came against a team in the bottom one-third of the conference standings.

Men's Basketball: Wisconsin rides hot start, stifling defense to rout Buckeyes

By Vince Huth | Feb. 18, 2013

Any concerns No. 20 Wisconsin (9-4 Big Ten, 18-8 overall) would come out flat with No. 13 Ohio State (8-5, 18-7) in town, went out the door within a few minutes of play Sunday at the Kohl Center. With the two sides knotted up at 6 in the early stages, Wisconsin held the Buckeyes without a field goal (0-of-14) for nearly nine minutes while scoring 18 unanswered points to put things out of reach for OSU. The visitors wouldn’t pull any closer than 13 the rest of the way, dropping a 71-49 contest—their third loss in the last four games.

By Adee Feiner | Feb. 18, 2013

After falling 58-48 to No. 18 Purdue in a Valentine’s Day match-up, the Badger women’s basketball team (3-9 Big Ten, 11-14 overall) heads to Champaign, Ill., to take on Illinois (7-4, 14-9) Monday night. This is the second game between the two teams in just over two weeks, with Illinois beating the Badgers 64-56 at the Kohl Center Feb. 3.

Men's Basketball: Gophers loom for Wisconsin

By Vince Huth | Feb. 14, 2013

The last time No. 20 Wisconsin (8-3 Big Ten, 17-7 overall) played the Gophers (5-6, 17-7), both teams were in a must-win situation. The Badgers came in having dropped two consecutive games in response to their upset win at then-No. 2 Indiana, while Minnesota had fallen back into the middle of the Big Ten with its third-straight loss.

Men's Basketball: Badgers set for matchup with Michigan

By Max Sternberg | Feb. 8, 2013

While you would be hard-pressed to find a Badger player or coach willing to admit it, Wisconsin has had this weekend’s matchup with No. 3 Michigan circled on the calendar for quite some time. Despite losing last weekend in Bloomington, Ind., the Wolverines (8-2 Big Ten, 21-2 overall) could easily be the best team in the nation and remain very much in control in a Big Ten race that is just about as tight as gets.

Men's Basketball: Iowa looms for Badgers

By Whitney Newman and Vince Huth | Feb. 6, 2013

The last time the Badgers (6-3 Big Ten, 15-7 overall) played Iowa (3-6, 14-8), they were coming off a win at then-No. 2 Indiana and atop the conference standings. However, the Hawkeyes jumped out to a 20-point lead in the first half and eventually topped Wisconsin, 70-66, despite a 20-point second-half effort from redshirt freshman guard George Marshall. It was Iowa’s third consecutive win over UW and the first of three Badger losses over a four-game stretch.

Men's Basketball: Badgers come away with win in Illinois

By Max Sternberg | Feb. 3, 2013

Despite notching a 24-point victory in their last meeting with Illinois, the Badgers were anything but comfortable heading to Champaign to face a desperate Illini team. But on the strength of breakout performances from Illinois natives junior Ben Brust and sophomore Frank Kaminsky, Wisconsin was able to get back into the win column with a 74-68 victory.

Men's Basketball: Wisconsin looks to bounce back at Illinois

By Vince Huth | Jan. 31, 2013

Wisconsin (5-3 Big Ten, 14-7 overall) will travel to Champaign, Ill., Sunday for a tilt against the Fighting Illini (2-6, 15-7). It isn’t difficult to make the argument Sunday’s game is a must-win for the Badgers, who have lost three of their last four games in a conference in which no game is a gimme, especially on the road.

Men's Basketball: Badgers extend offensive woes in road loss to Ohio State

By Max Sternberg and Sam Karp | Jan. 29, 2013

For the third straight game, Wisconsin has failed to score 50 points, this time falling a single point shy of the mark in a 58-49 loss to No. 11 Ohio State Tuesday night. Although the Badgers (5-3 Big Ten, 14-7 overall) made a staggering 11 shots from 3-point range, they only managed to hit eight shots from inside the arc, resulting in virtually no inside presence the entire night.

Men's Basketball: Badgers prepare for tough road test

By Vince Huth | Jan. 28, 2013

Wisconsin (5-2 Big Ten, 14-6 overall) may have ended its two-game slide with a win over then-No. 12 Minnesota Saturday, but it won’t be easy for UW to turn that victory into a winning streak. The Badgers will travel to Columbus, Ohio, for a showdown with the No. 11 Buckeyes (5-2, 15-4) Tuesday at the Value City Arena.
