New UW football coach Bret Bielema is starting to assemble his first staff, hiring Dave Doeren from the University of Kansas to be co-defensive coordinator.

Marquette got blasted by 16th ranked West Virginia as Mike Gansey and Kevin Pittsnogle combined to give the Mountaineers 63 points in a 104-85 win. The Golden Eagles kept the game close in the first half, trailing WV by just five points at halftime, but the Mountaineers ripped off a 17-5 run early in the […]

After easily handling the Northwestern Wildcats 68-52 this afternoon at the Kohl Center, the Wisconsin Badgers remain the only Big 10 team unbeaten in conference action.

It was not pretty, though, as Milwaukee struggled with 23 turnovers and blew an 18-point lead in the second half before slipping […]
