No way to mask Badgers' poor shooting
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Bo Ryan sat between two wooden panels in an oversized locker space, a shiny NCAA tournament pin still fastened to the lapel on his black suit jacket. He sipped a Powerade and sagged his shoulders. All the animation, the fist-pumping, the excessive clapping and screaming he had brought to the Wisconsin bench only a half-hour earlier had disappeared.In its place,...
Badgers' scout team had tiring task

Badgers content to win, no matter what style
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Stop if you've heard this before: Tortoise meets hare. Breakneck meets plodding. Wisconsin is playing a basketball game, and contrasts are being made between the Badgers and their opponent about the pace of play.
Blah. Blah. Blah.
Wisconsin's players have heard the talk about their methodical and so-called dull style for years. With No. 5 Wisconsin (23-11...
Gasser trying to stay positive while sidelined
MADISON, Wis. Josh Gasser sat at the end of Wisconsin's bench as the final seconds ticked off during Sunday's Big Ten championship game. He glanced at Ohio State's players celebrating while confetti dropped from the rafters. He shuffled into the locker room with the rest of his teammates and plopped himself into a chair, trying unsuccessfully to avoid asking the one...

Badgers receiving to share the load this season
MADISON, Wis. Wisconsin's wide receiver core could be broken down into two groups last season: Jared Abbrederis and everybody else.
For Abbrederis, the team's standout long ball threat, that meant garnering most of the throws -- and most of the attention from opposing secondaries. For the rest of the Badgers' young and inconsistent wideouts, it meant plenty of route...

Badgers to face Ole Miss in NCAA tournament

Badgers Hoops Recap: Bo owns Crean, UW advances to title game
They say there are only two truths in this world: Death and Taxes. May we suggest a third - Bo Ryan beating Tom Crean.

Wisconsin reloads at RB with Montee Ball gone
Wisconsin opened spring practices this month with Montee Ball watching nearby - an odd experience for someone who had been a fixture in the Badgers' backfield since 2009.
As senior tailback James White zipped through a tiny gap in the offensive line and sped toward the end zone in team drills, it became clear that Wisconsin may be just fine with Ball gone after a standout career...
QB competition gets reboot under new staff
MADISON, Wis. New coaching staff. New uniforms. Same quarterback questions.
As Wisconsin's football team begins the Gary Andersen era, one debate that hasn't simmered from the Bret Bielema days concerns which quarterback will emerge as the starter.
Will it be Curt Phillips? Joel Stave? Danny O'Brien? Or someone else?
All three players started at least three games...
