Wisconsin Badgers rolled to their sixth straight win after taking care of business against the Ohio State Buckeyes but the way there was not that smooth. Both John Tonje and Steven Crowl are not worried though. It should have been a smooth one after they were able to keep their visitors to just 20 points in the first 20 minutes to build a 17-point lead. However, the game almost slipped from the hands of the Badgers after the Buckeyes chipped the lead little by little until it went to a one-possession ball game when the shot clock was already turned…

Ohio State Buckeyes threatened to snap Wisconsin Badgers’ five-game winning streak but the night probably really belonged to the squad of Greg Gard who got his 200th victory with the win. Gard debut as Badgers’ coach in December of 2015, making him just the fourth coach in team history to reach the milestone. Team veterans connived to make sure that their coach’s night will not be spoiled. John Tonje led the way with his 17 points and four rebounds while John Blackwell had 15 and 6. Max Klesmit returned to the team after missing two games due to injury and…

The Wisconsin visit by Orlando Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley on Wednesday is not just about getting a victory against the Milwaukee Bucks but also a time for him to revisit the place that developed his love for basketball. Mosley, who is among the top candidates this season for Coach of the Year, was born in Wisconsin but moved to San Diego when he was 13 years old. He remained connected to the city though even his basketball journey brought him to different states and countries. In 2001, he almost got officially reunited with the city he was born in…

AJ Dillion is a solid running back when healthy but he failed to show that for the Green Bay Packers in their recently concluded season as he never set foot on the field due to a season-ending injury. He signed a one-year contract before the opening and now, with their season over, he is among those who will enter free agency. Will he remain a Packer when the new season comes? The 26-year-old running back is not sure. However, he suggested in an interview with Sports Illustrated’s Bill Huber that he is attached to the Green Bay community and the…

Marquette Golden Eagles’ five-game winning streak was almost over at the hands of DePaul but then the Blue Demons should have known it – David Joplin owns their home court. At least that’s how it was like for years for the senior Golden Eagles whenever he visits the Chicago school. DePaul threatened to snap Marquette’s hot streak by denying their visitors from the three point line and leaving the bench ineffective. Coach Shaka Smart’s squad thought they had the victory sealed with six seconds remaining in the game to take a 67-65 lead through a Chase Ross three assisted by…

The Milwaukee Bucks have returned to winning ways, huge thanks to their balanced game according to coach Doc Rivers. The Bucks, who flopped big time against the New York Knicks 48 hours ago, used a hot first quarter to keep away the Kings who were the hottest team in the league coming into the game. It did not matter that Khris Middleton is out as part of his bilateral ankle surgery management as the team clicked right in the first quarter. Giannis Antetokounmpo again led the way with his triple double of 33 points, 11 rebounds, and 13 assists. It…

Doc Rivers is not worried that the Milwaukee Bucks are 0-8 against the top three teams in the Eastern Conference. So is Damian Lillard. For them, it is still the elimination round and it will be a long stretch before the playoffs. The team bowed to the New York Knicks for the second time this season, with both instances are losses by double digits. They lost three times each against the Boston Celtics and the Cleveland Cavaliers although one can say that the Bucks could have won one or two games against those Eastern contenders. Lillard is clinging to that…

The Wisconsin Badgers have steadied the ship after losing three straight in December, huge thanks to the Steven Crowl consistent quality games. Coach Greg Gard recently entered Top 25 of Associated Press’ poll ranking by getting to the 24th spot and they could climb higher if they will continue their streak. The Badgers have won five straight games, four of them by double digits. They meet next the Ohio State Buckeyes who lost by just two points to Big Ten no. 4 team Oregon by just two points. The Buckeyes carry a 10-6 record but Crowl is not getting fooled…

Green Bay Packers fans expressed excitement over the prospect of having Tee Higgins on the team in the new season. Such reactions are natural and expected as Higgins is one of the more exciting players in the league and the team’s wide receivers position is one area that needs a lift. Cincinnati Bengals, of course, would not allow Higgins to go without them getting something in return. So, how can the Packers get the services of the 25-year-old wide receiver? They’re gonna have to let go their main WR. ESPN’s Ben Solak said Higgins could be a good match for…
