Red-hot Badgers take down No. 2 Maryland on the road

By Zach Rastall | Feb. 13, 2016

Every time the Maryland Terrapins made a run and got within striking distance Saturday night, Wisconsin seemed to have an answer. As a result, the Badgers picked up their seventh win in a row and the biggest boost yet to their blossoming NCAA Tournament résumé. Wisconsin (8-4 Big Ten, 16-9 overall) upended No. 2 Maryland (10-3, 22-4) 70-57 on the road, snapping the Terrapins’ 27-game home winning streak and handing them their first conference home loss as a member of the Big Ten. Junior forward Vitto Brown scored a career-high 21 points on 8-of-14 shooting and grabbed seven rebounds, while junior guard Bronson Koenig added 16 points and six rebounds in UW’s victory.

By Ben Pickman | Feb. 12, 2016

For two years at Syracuse University, former Orange and current Wisconsin assistant coach and recruiting coordinator Sasha Palmer spent every day studying one of the most effective and dangerous defenses in college basketball. Whether watching the Syracuse men’s team from her glass-windowed office overlooking the practice floor at the Carmelo Anthony Center, or coaching the Syracuse women down on the floor itself, Palmer was soaking in all she could learn about Syracuse’s famous 2-3 zone.

Second-half collapse dooms Wisconsin in Ann Arbor

By Ben Pickman | Feb. 11, 2016

Tuesday afternoon, hours after the Wisconsin Badgers (3-11 Big Ten, 7-16 overall) knocked off the Purdue Boilermakers 64-57, Nicole Bauman seemed fatigued just thinking about the kind of effort it took for the team to record their first win since mid-January. “Coming off of a seven-game losing streak, to have that win, it shows us what level we need to play at to win,” Bauman said. Thursday night against the Michigan Wolverines, the Badgers came out with the same effort and energy they had against Purdue days earlier.

By Matt Ferris | Feb. 11, 2016

I know I originally wrote that I was going to devote my column this week to Aaron Moesch. As interesting and entertaining as that would have been, it will have to wait for another time.
