As if Wisconsinites didn’t have enough to feel glum about right now, yesterday was a bad day for the Dairyland.
First, the UW men’s basketball team fell to Purdue on the road 60-56 in a tight game that came right down to the final play. Trailing by two with 10 seconds to play, Michael Flowers drove […]

The hockey season is still quite young, but what a fast start for both the Wisconsin men’s and women’s teams.
The two-time NCAA champion Badger women’s team opened their season with six straight wins to extend their winning streak to a record 32 games before falling to St. Cloud State a couple weeks ago. Freshman […]

The Wisconsin men’s hockey team swept Michigan Tech this weekend at the Kohl Center, advancing to the second round of the WCHA tournament. On Friday night the Badgers recorded a 4-1 victory with four different players reaching the net. Three of those came early in the game against goalie Michael-Lee Teslak, who was replaced after […]

It was a cruel awakening after endless days of Olympic curling and speed skating to find out that the UW men’s hockey team has continued to struggle through the latter part of their schedule. When I last checked in, the Badgers had won 4-2 in the Frozen Tundra Hockey Classic over Ohio State at Lambeau […]

As if the opening of the Winter Olympics wasn’t enough to get cold-weather sports fans going, there’s plenty of college hockey action this weekend as well. ISU opens a series against the University of Illinois tonight with an eye on extending their streak of eight games without a loss. This will be their final two […]

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, […]

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 […]

The UW hockey team suffered its second sweep in a row this weekend, losing again to Minnesota on Saturday 3-1. The Badgers only score came early in the first period on a power play goal by Tom Gilbert, but Minnesota’s Ryan Potulny tied the score in the second frame. Ben Gordon made the winning goal […]

Wisconsin took it on the chin last night at the Kohl Center, losing to Minnesota 4-5. A rash of penalties and poor execution allowed the Gophers to take a 5-1 lead in the first two periods, but the Badgers came back to score three in the final 20 minutes on goals by Jack Skille, Nick […]

The Badgers hockey team is looking to rebound from a pair of losses to the University of Denver Pioneers last week as they host the Golden Gophers of Minnesota this weekend. Minnesota is 16-6-4 overall and 11-5-2 in the WCHA, putting them just four points behind Wisconsin and tied with Denver for second place in […]
