After stops in Pittsburgh, Chryst and Granato keep friendship back in Madison

In December 2011, Tony Granato received a phone call. An old friend from college had gotten a new job and was moving into town, and Granato was supposed to help him find a place to live. It was a normal story, except for a few details; Granato was an assistant coach for the NHL’s Pittsburgh Penguins and his old friend was Paul Chryst, who had just been named the newest head football coach at Pittsburgh.

Happ records second triple-double in school history in win against Coppin State

The Wisconsin men’s basketball team began the 2018-'19 campaign in style Tuesday night, winning 85-63 over Coppin State at the Kohl Center. Senior forward Ethan Happ recorded the second triple-double in Badgers history, tallying 10 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists. Sophomore guard D’Mitrik Trice scored a career-high 21 points, including five three-pointers to lead the team, while junior guard Brevin Pritzl knocked down four triples and finished with 16 points.


Junior Jack Berry stopped just 11 of the 15 shots he faced in Friday night's 5-0 loss, costing the Badgers a chance in a game where they outshot North Dakota.

‘Come on out and watch:’ Bono looks to rebrand wrestling program in first year with energy and outreach

You might be able to see over Chris Bono, but you can’t miss him. Wisconsin’s new head wrestling coach stands just 5 feet 3 inches tall but carries enough energy to fill up an entire room. The first-year head coach brought that daily intensity to his last coaching job at South Dakota State — where he took the Jackrabbits from bottom-dwellers to contenders at nationals — and he’s already started on a quest to do the same in Madison.
