I see Milwaukee managed to get back into the win column the other night with a 94-89 victory over the Magic in double overtime. Michael Redd came through with the go-ahead three-pointer after shooting 0-3 in the first overtime. He led the team with 27 points despite a 10-30 effort from the field. Gadzuric scored […]

Wisconsin rebounded from their slump finally, tagging #21 Indiana with a 72-54 beat down. Okay, the Hoosiers were very helpful shooting just 26% from the field, but I thought UW looked the best they have in a while tonight. They were patient with the ball, worked it inside, didn’t throw up too many bricks from […]

Iowa State took one on the chin as Kansas State rebounded from a four-point halftime deficit to beat the Cyclones 66-63. Curtis Stinson did his part by scoring 22 points, but the rest of the roster must have missed the bus out of Ames, because Jessan Gray, off the bench, was the only other Iowa […]

Milwaukee had a chance to escape from Cleveland with a win tonight, but LeBron James spoiled the fun with a go-ahead layup in the final seconds to give the Cavs an 89-86 victory. Cold shooting was the undoing of the Bucks once again, especially Michael Redd who scored just 18 after missing 10 of his […]

The wife and I spent most of the weekend getting ready for yesterday’s Super Bowl party, so I missed a lot of other sports action this weekend, but looking at the scores maybe it was best I did. The UW basketball team lost to Purdue on Saturday 70-62. Purdue? You mean formerly 1-8 Purdue? Yes, […]

Congratulations to the Steelers and their fans for winning Super Bowl XL. I was pleasantly surprised it turned into a good game and not a total blowout. Pittsburgh played a classic Steelers game: let the defense keep the team in the game, hang around a while, then break a couple big plays to win the […]

Before we get to the big game on Sunday, there’s plenty of other stuff going on to get yourself warmed up after a long week. The Badgers hockey team will try and turn things around when they travel to Duluth to face the UMD Bulldogs. UW and Minnesota-Duluth are both tied with Denver atop the […]

Milwaukee was really missing Michael Redd last night as the Bucks came up short against Houston 86-84. The team’s leading scorer was sidelined with back spasms, adding misery to a team that lost Mo Williams to an ankle sprain. The Bucks tried to make a game of of it, though, leading 27-15 after the first […]

A good win for the Golden Eagles last night, who rebounded from their loss to Pitt by beating St. John’s 81-61 at the Bradley Center. Steve Novak led the Golden Eagles with 29 points and eight rebounds, while Dominic James scored 16 and Jerel McNeal added 11 points. Marquette led by three at the half, […]

How awful was that? Wisconsin had a chance to prove themselves against a top 10 team and take charge of the Big 10 standings, but instead they shot 35% from the field, turned the ball over 14 times, and were all but shut out from three point range in their 66-51 loss to Illinois. As […]
