It was another typical night for the Wisconsin Badgers. It was another game that went to the wire. Unfortunately, the Badgers fell in another close game. Tonight, they fell to Purdue 63-61. Max Klesmit led the Badgers with 19 points on 7-11 shooting. Chucky Hepburn also added 13 on 5-12 shooting. Wisconsin continues to squander chances to solidify their NCAA Tournament spot. Here are three takeaways from tonight’s gut-wrenching loss. Max Klesmit Was Fantastic If junior Max Klesmit didn’t have the game he did tonight. Wisconsin would have gotten blown out of the gym. At times, Klesmit has been passive…

Tomorrow night is the home finale for Wisconsin Badgers. They will conclude their home season against fifth-ranked Purdue Basketball. The Boilermakers have already clinched at least a share of the Big Ten Conference. A win for the Badgers would go a long way for their NCAA Tournament hopes. Tip time is 8 PM on FS1. Here is a preview of tomorrow night’s game. What To Do With Zach Edey The Badgers, like any other team, had their hands full with Zach Edey last season. At 7’4, it’s almost impossible to guard him one on one. Last season, the Badgers threw…

According to most bracketology experts, the Wisconsin Badgers are on the NCAA Tournament bubble as we enter the final week of the regular season. A win Thursday against Purdue would go a long way toward getting them into the big dance. They are also running out of time to stack up wins. The Badgers have enough quad one and quad two wins to get in, but they need more total wins. With Selection Sunday 12 days away, here are what the bracketology analysts from ESPN, CBS, and FOX are saying about where the Badgers currently stand. ESPN Bracketology According to…

It was a heart-breaking loss for the Badgers yesterday. Wisconsin fell 87-79 in overtime to Michigan. Hunter Dickinson made a really tough three point shot at the buzzer and the Wolverines owned the extra five minutes. This was a result of Wisconsin falling behind as much as 12 points. As we hit the final week of the regular season, Wisconsin is squarely on the bubble. They need to have a successful week to hear their name on Selection Sunday. I see three scenarios where the Badgers hear their name to go to the NCAA Tournament. Win Both Games This Week…

In a game the Wisconsin Badgers needed badly, they defeated the Iowa Hawkeyes in Madison tonight 64-52. The Badgers took advantage of a bad shooting night from the Hawkeyes. While Wisconsin didn’t shoot well either, they were able to close the game at the free-throw line. Connor Essegian led the Badgers with 17 points. Here are three takeaways from tonight’s Wisconsin-Iowa game as the NCAA Tournament approaches.

With four games left in the regular season, this is a very important two weeks for the Wisconsin Badgers. They let a golden opportunity get away after a 58-57 loss at home to Rutgers Saturday.

Former Wisconsin defensive coordinator and interim head coach Jim Leonhard for the Eagles defensive coordinator position. This was reported by Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. https://twitter.com/JFowlerESPN/status/1627714700996751361 Jim Leonhard: From Wisconsin to the Eagles Defensive Coordinator? Ever since Wisconsin passed on giving Jim Leonhard the head coaching job at Wisconsin, we haven’t heard much from him. Based on the tweet from Fowler, we could see Leonhard in the NFL soon. I know a lot of Packer fans would love to see him replace Joe Barry as defensive coordinator as well. At Wisconsin, Leonhard was the defensive coordinator from 2017-2022. After the firing…

It’s hard to believe, but the UW Badgers only have four regular season games remaining. In three weeks, the Big Ten Tournament will tip off in Chicago. For the first time in five years, the Badgers must perform well in Chicago to get in the NCAA Tournament and/or improve their tournament seeding. After a 58-57 home loss to Rutgers Saturday, Wisconsin continues to be haunted by poor shooting and a lack of late-game execution. Without reigning Big Ten defensive player of the year Caleb McConnell, there was no reason the Badgers couldn’t pull out that win. The shooting and execution…

After a big win Tuesday against Michigan, Wisconsin stays home tomorrow. They will take on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.

Here is a preview of tomorrow’s game. Which Offense Will Come Through? Both Wisconsin and Rutgers Basketball are above-average defensive teams. Defense usually travels on the road as well. Wisconsin only averages 65 points a game, while the Scarlet Knights average only 70. Offense just isn’t the identity…
