WISCONSIN BADGERS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Balanced Badgers pose challenge for Hoosiers
Last year, Jordan Taylor was a Hoosier killer.
The Wisconsin guard ruined two upset attempts by Indiana by scoring a combined 67 points in two meetings last season. In the game at Assembly Hall, Taylor went off for 39 points and hit 7-of-8 attempts from 3-point range.
While he has only scored more than 20 points once this season — a loss to Michigan State — Taylor will...

Evans has scored double-digits in ten games this season and is one of the best defenders on a squad which ranks tops in the NCAA when it comes to locking down opponents.

Zach Bohannon is making a name for himself
MADISON, Wis. The shadow cast on the basketball court by Zach Bohannon's older brother lingered for years in his mind. It was long and intimidating, and Zach didn't want to be swallowed up by the expectations of a last name any longer than absolutely necessary.

Badgers Kaminsky is a model of versatility
MADISON, Wis. There were times during his high school season last year when Frank Kaminsky found himself serving as Benet Academy's emergency point guard in key late-game situations. And while that might not sound like much to those who have never seen Frank Kaminsky, the sight of a 6-foot-11 center bringing the ball up court and directing the offense is most unusual at any...

Badgers' Evans used setbacks as motivation
MADISON, Wis. During the long, quiet nights alone with his thoughts in the gym, Ryan Evans wondered if chasing this basketball dream of his really was worth the agonizing sacrifice.
Was it worth the late hours away from friends and family every night weight lifting, speed training and jump shot honing until total exhaustion took effect? Was it worth being an outcast in two entirely...

Big Ten Preview: #7 WISCONSIN BADGERS
Once again, I see no way Wisconsin can finish in the upper division of the Big 10 this year. Now I fully admit I think this same thing pretty much every year and pretty much every year they prove me wrong, but I'm just not seeing this year.
Obviously everything about the Badgers this year begins and ends with Jordan Taylor, who is not doubt a supreme talent and had a statistically...

Badgers Ben Brust Leads the Way in Annual Red-White Scrimmage
A serious question facing the 2011-12 Badgers is whether or not they can replace the production from departing seniors Jon Leuer, Keaton Nankivil and Tim Jarmusz. In Sunday’s annual Red-White Scrimmage at the Kohl Center, part of that question was possibly answered.
Sophomore guard Ben Brust stepped up in a big way to score a game-high 22 points and lead the Red to a 72-56...
