Even with a regular season title in hand, Baylee Wellhausen and the Badgers are looking to sweep Minnesota this weekend

Wisconsin takes on Cornell for first time ever this weekend

By Cameron Lane-Flehinger | Nov. 25, 2016

After a stretch of ten consecutive conference games, Wisconsin (10-1-1 WCHA, 12-1-1 overall) finally gets an opportunity to move outside of the conference and face a less familiar opponent as they take on Cornell (4-2-1 ECAC, 6-2-1 overall) at LaBahn Arena for the first time in program history. The Badgers are coming off their toughest test of the season, a weekend series against No. 3 Minnesota-Duluth without star goaltender Ann-Renee Desbiens.

National Outlook: Clemson with clear path, Penn State with outside chance to make Playoff

By Ethan Levy | Nov. 25, 2016

In the third season of the NCAA’s College Football Playoff format, the same narratives seem to persist each season; namely, that no one can predict what will happen and, no matter what, there will be controversy surrounding who the CFP Committee selects to play for a national championship. With only one week left in the regular season, the Big Ten—with four teams that could potentially make the Playoff—has exemplified this whirlwind of unpredictability and potential controversy.

Biegel takes Camp Randall turf for final time

By Isaiah De los Santos | Nov. 25, 2016

Vince Biegel’s mullet may say something about business in the front and party in the back, but when the senior outside linebacker jogs out into his last game at Camp Randall Stadium, it will be purely business––just like it’s been the last four years. The foot injury that sidelined Biegel during his first year in Madison proved too debilitating, forcing the then-true freshman to request a medical redshirt.

McMorris' earns double-double, but Badgers fall to 1-4

By Cal Larsen | Nov. 24, 2016

The Badgers would have liked to leave Milwaukee and enter the upcoming UNLV tournament on a high note, but Milwaukee had other plans. Behind the strong play of junior guard Jenny Lindner and senior guard Sierra Ford-Washington, the Panthers (3-1) were able to dismantle Wisconsin (1-4) fairly easily by a score of 80-63. Lindner finished the night with 28 points on 9-of-19 shooting.

Badgers prep for rematch with No. 2 Minnesota

By David Gwidt | Nov. 21, 2016

As the 2016 regular season winds down and the NCAA Tournament looms near, the Wisconsin Badgers are playing about as well as they could have hoped. After earning a pair of resounding wins at home this past weekend, Wisconsin (16-2 Big Ten, 24-3 overall) heads into its regular season finale on a tear.

Badgers split weekend series with Bulldogs as freshman Cece starts in place of Desbiens

By Cameron Lane-Flehinger | Nov. 21, 2016

Sometimes you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone, and for the Wisconsin women’s hockey team (10-1-1 WCHA, 12-1-1 overall) this weekend, what they were missing this weekend was their superstar goaltender. Playing their first game without senior goalie Ann-Renée Desbiens, who was sidelined with an upper body injury, the Badgers fell to No. 3 Minnesota-Duluth (7-3-2, 8-3-3) by a score of 4-1 on Friday for their first regulation loss of the season. Starting in Desbiens’ place, freshman Nikki Cece made 26 saves, but her performance was not enough on a night where the offense struggled to convert on numerous early chances.

Mondays with Rasty: Playoff scenarios practically limitless

By Zach Rastall | Nov. 21, 2016

For a second straight week, I’ll take most of this time to discuss the bigger picture of Wisconsin’s season rather than focus heavily on the most recent game. The Badgers’ 49-20 victory was exactly what you’d hope to see out of a team that’s fighting for a spot in the College Football Playoff against a significantly inferior opponent.

Badgers fall to Florida in NCAA Tournament as season finishes

By Cal Larsen | Nov. 21, 2016

While the Wisconsin women’s soccer team (5-2-4 Big Ten, 9-5-8 overall) didn’t wind up with the result it was hoping for against the No. 9-seed Florida Gators (8-3-0 SEC, 17-5-1 overall), the Badgers will come back to Madison with nothing to hang their heads about. After receiving an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, taking care of Marquette at home in the first round and ultimately getting eliminated by the Florida Gators, Wisconsin’s season is officially over. The Badgers took Florida into double overtime before the Gators put the game away on a goal in the 106th minute, courtesy of senior forward Brooke Sharp.

Badgers to play Tennessee Monday, might play No. 4 Oregon and No. 5 North Carolina

By Thomas Valtin-Erwin | Nov. 21, 2016

The Badgers have a long history of scheduling brutal matchups in the early-goings of their seasons, and 2016 is no exception as they have a potentially hellacious slew of opponents waiting in the wings out west at the Maui Invitational. No. 9 Wisconsin’s (2-1) first matchup should be a relative cakewalk Monday against the Tennessee Volunteers (1-1), which is in just its second season under head coach Rick Barnes.
