Badgers on their way to Frozen Four in Detroit

By Ben Breiner | Apr. 5, 2010

ST. PAUL, Minn.—It didn't seem to matter whether they started fast or struggled at the start. Both times they took the ice, the games came down to tense, close final periods as playoff hockey often does. And at the end of the weekend, after dealing with a familiar foe and a team just lucky to be there, they finally reached a goal that was both aimed for at season's start and in some ways expected.

After watching my final Wisconsin basketball game as a student Sunday, I cannot help but feel a sour taste in my mouth.

Through the regular season and WCHA Tournament, Wisconsin head coach Mike Eaves and his players often referenced ""intermediate goals,"" from hosting a first round playoff series to finishing in the top three of the WCHA to earning an extra day off in the Final Five. Now, with the opening weekend of the NCAA Tournament looming, those intermediate goals have been replaced with immediate ones that the team must accomplish to fulfill the ultimate goal of bringing a national championship home to Madison.

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.
