WISCONSIN RUMORS & GOSSIP
Wisconsin Badgers still in the hunt for a Big Ten Title
A Bo Ryan-led Wisconsin Badgers squad will rarely impress you with pure talent, but that doesn’t mean they can’t win. The Badgers run one of the least sexy offenses in the country and play such fundamental defense that they almost lull opposing teams to sleep.
This season has been no different with the #22 Badgers checking in at 19-6 and 8-4 in the Big Ten Conference...

Badgers Knock Off Goldie in OT
It wasn't pretty for the last 8 minutes of the second half but UW pulled out another Big Ten road win at Minnesota.
UW went 8 minutes and 49 seconds in the 2nd half and OT without scoring. How many perrenial top-20 programs consistently have prolonged scoring droughts like the Badgers? I'm guessing just them.
I've given up on ever being able to defend UW's style...

Taylor gets one for the road -- at home
By Joan Niesen
FOXSportsNorth.comMINNEAPOLIS He wouldn't have wanted to remember it like that.With a 51-49 lead and just 1:12 remaining in the Badgers' eventual 68-61 win over Minnesota on Thursday night, Jordan Taylor shot too soon. He wasn't set; he was rushed, and the senior guard's 3-point shot landed nowhere near the basket. It got worse. Just a turnover later...

UW women's hockey works to build a dynasty
MADISON, Wis. Brianna Decker recognizes that there is only so much attention to go around, and on the totem pole of importance in a sports-crazed society, women's college hockey does not rank near the top in the public consciousness.
When people do think of women's college sports, Decker said, they might identify with Connecticut's basketball team, which has won seven...

Gophers continue tourney push vs. Wisconsin
For a change, Wisconsin is playing better on the road in the Big Ten than it is at home.
The No. 21 Badgers could be in for a stiff test as they try to win four straight on the road for the first time in four years while looking to avoid a third consecutive loss at Minnesota on Thursday night.
Normally one of the toughest teams in the country to beat at home, Wisconsin (18-6, 7...

A rivalry renewed: The Badgers come to The Barn
On Thursday night the Gophers and Badgers renew their always heated rivalry, with a lot on the line. The Golden Gophers are one win away from reaching .500 in the Big Ten and a clear path to the NCAA tournament. With a win, the Badgers can climb right back into the thick of the Big Ten race, and all but lock up an NCAA tournament bid themselves. Throw in national television coverage...

Badgers enduring puzzling 3-point trend
MADISON, Wis. No matter how much he might like to try, Bo Ryan can't step on the court and swish home3-point shots for his team. All the Wisconsin coach can do is give his players the tools in practice to have confidence to take, and hopefully make, 3-pointers in key situations. But a disturbing and somewhat inexplicable trend has developed for the Badgers as the season progresses...

Wisconsin Football: College Fantasy Football Recap And 2012 Outlook
Overview-
So this is what it’s like when Wisconsin has a dynamic passing option behind center? If only it could be every year the Badgers nab one of the top quarterbacks in the nation off the transfer wire. Everyone knew the 5’11” Russell Wilson was a great QB, but how would he produce now in a run-heavy, pro-style offense behind giant offensive lineman? Pretty...

Wisconsin Badgers Go With Quality and not Quantity on National Signing Day
Like many seasons before, the Wisconsin Badgers do not have a top ranked recruiting class. In fact, Rivals.com has the Badgers at 48th and Scout.com at 53rd.
It’s been a tumultuous off-season for the Badgers who have lost six assistant coaches to other jobs and now have signed one of the smallest recruiting classes ever under Head Coach Bret Bielema.

Bielema: Small class 'a blessing in disguise'
MADISON, Wis. As expected, the smallest recruiting class of any college football program among the top 100 classes nationally belonged to Wisconsin. But if you ask head coach Bret Bielema, perhaps that wasnt the worst circumstance in the world considering the Badgers depleted coaching staff over the past month.With any more recruits in the fold, Wisconsin likely wouldve lost a bunch...

Wisconsin's class lacks numbers, not talent
MADISON, Wis. Given that Wisconsin's football program recently finished its third consecutive double digit-win season and played in a second straight Rose Bowl, you'd think high school prospects would be banging down the athletic department doors to suit up for the Badgers.
Yet as National Signing Day approaches on Wednesday, Wisconsin currently has just 12 commitments...
