With a 70-56 win over the Fighting Illini, the Wisconsin Badgers’ Head Coach Bo Ryan is now 11-0 in Senior Day games at the Kohl Center.

Seniors Jordan Taylor and Rob Wilson were magnificent with 24 combined points to help the Badgers (23-8, 12-6) end [...]

I mean you’re saying “you came from a rich, famous household!! take that!!” [...]

This is it, the last week of the regular season before all the major conference tournaments and then the Big Dance! California drops out after a big loss in Boulder on Sunday to a bubble team in Colorado. Also, can anyone explain the Mountain West? three superb teams as soon as they get ranked all of sudden can’t win versus the likes of TCU? [...]

1. Syracuse: 16-0 overall, 3-0 in Big East (Last Week Ranking: 1)[...]

No, this headline is not a misprint, the #11 Wisconsin Badgers have indeed dropped their conference home-opener to the Iowa Hawkeyes by the score of 72-65.

Iowa (9-6, 1-1) took full advantage of a horrendous-shooting performance from the Badgers (24-for-69) and a lackluster showing on the defensive end despite Wisconsin (12-3, 1-1) being one of the best in the nation [...]

After an early season loaded with various tournaments and invitationals, the Kentucky Wildcats came into Saturday’s battle with the North Carolina Tar Heels at Rupp Arena looking to make a big statement on the national stage. Behind a 17 point and 11 rebound effort from Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, the Cats managed to squeak by the Tar Heels 73-72, running John Calipari’s record to 38-0 at home as Kentucky’s headmaster.
