Welcome to the unofficial online tavern of the Wisconsin Badgers. Please seat yourself.
In a surprising move, the Wisconsin Badgers did not give head coach Luke Fickell a customary one-year extension on Wednesday. Wisconsin has generally looked to keep the contracts of head coaches at their original length, hence the standard one-year extensions that come yearly from the athletic board. However, according to ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg, Fickell asked […]
The Wisconsin Badgers have turned things around over the last month, winning seven of their last eight games, including a win over the Ohio State Buckeyes last Saturday. In the win, Wisconsin was on a heater offensively, scoring 92 points with great efficiency at the rim and at the free-throw line. The Badgers did give […]
Saturday was the Austin Rapp breakout show for the Wisconsin Badgers, as the sophomore forward poured in 19 points on 7 of 10 from the field, while tying a season-high five three-pointers. Rapp has had a few strong performances this year, but he reached double figures just once in the past month. It was a […]
The Wisconsin Badgers are in an unexpected place midway through their conference slate, as they’re on the bubble of the NCAA Tournament after starting the year as a Top 25 team. The Badgers have lacked the high-end wins that are usually required of a top-six seed, garnering only one Quad 1 win in six opportunities, […]
Former Wisconsin Badgers defensive coordinator and interim head coach Jim Leonhard found his first defensive coordinator job since leaving Madison with the Buffalo Bills over the weekend. Leonhard, 43, had been in consideration for several defensive coordinator jobs this offseason after working as the pass game coordinator and assistant head coach for the Denver Broncos […]
The Wisconsin Badgers had a good bounce-back week, beating the Minnesota Gophers and Ohio State Buckeyes to improve to 16-6 and 8-3 in conference play. However, the two wins didn’t do much for them with AP Top 25 votes, as Wisconsin is still quite far away from cracking the polls. The Badgers got just one […]
The Wisconsin Badgers have seen a nice stretch in January, winning seven of their last eight games, as they head into February with a 16-6 record and an 8-3 record in Big Ten play. That has the Badgers tied for fifth in the conference, and they have quite the tough stretch ahead of them, with […]
While it’s fair to say that my recent track record on prognostications has been far from perfect, I’m going to push forward here and offer up some bold calls for four Wisconsin Badgers squads as we finish up winter and head into spring. Men’s Basketball makes the Sweet Sixteen as a 10-seed I see the […]
The Wisconsin Badgers picked up their third commitment in the 2027 class, and it followed the same trend as their first two: an in-state recruit. Catholic Memorial safety Dustin Roach announced his commitment to the program last week, marking the third commit for the Badgers from the state of Wisconsin in the cycle already. Roach, […]
The Wisconsin Badgers put away the Ohio State Buckeyes 92-82 over the weekend to continue a strong Big Ten campaign, improving their record to 16-6 and 8-3 in Big Ten play. It was a game where Wisconsin had another slow start, trailing 15-4 after the opening minutes before bouncing back offensively and scoring 49 points […]
The Wisconsin Badgers welcomed the Ohio State Buckeyes to the Kohl Center and delivered a statement performance, overcoming an early 11-point deficit to outpace the Buckeyes 92–82. After falling behind 15–4 in the opening minutes, Wisconsin showcased its explosive offensive ceiling, hitting the 90-point mark for a school-record ninth time this season. The victory moved […]
The Wisconsin Badgers, minus starting guard Andrew Rohde, completed their three-game home stretch with a 92-82 win over the Ohio State Buckeyes. It was a stellar outing for the Badgers’ offense, as Wisconsin finished the game shooting 52 percent from the field and held a commanding 42-30 margin in points in the paint. In addition, […]
Just a couple of years ago, Jim Leonhard was a Wisconsin Badgers staple as the team’s defensive coordinator, leading multiple top defenses in the country over a five-year period. Of course, upon Paul Chryst’s firing, Leonhard was named the interim head coach and then was bypassed for the full-time job in favor of Luke Fickell, […]
In a thrilling, high-scoring affair, the Wisconsin Badgers put away the Ohio State Buckeyes 92-82 to cap off their three-game home stand with another win. Wisconsin remained undefeated in games in which they scored at least 80 points and improved to 16-6 on the season, including 8-3 in conference play. It was a collective effort […]

The Badgers had another comeback victory on Wednesday after struggling through the first half. They fell behind 35-17 with one of their […]
The Wisconsin Badgers complete their three-game home stretch as they take on the Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday, January 31st. Tip-off is at 1:00 PM, and the Badgers are 4.5-point favorites.

At long last, the moment we’ve been talking about all season is here. Wisconsin Badgers stars Kirsten Simms, Laila Edwards, Carolina Harvey, Adéla Šapovalivová, and Ava McNaughton are off to Madrid, leaving Mark Johnson and the rest of the team to navigate the remainder of the regular season while their teammates fight to bring back […]
Not going to beat around the bush, the last few weeks have not been fun if you’re a Wisconsin Badgers fan. This hockey team has found all sorts of ways to lose, from giving up nice leads to being run out of their own barn. Worst of all, the current four-game skid is happening after […]
The Wisconsin Badgers 2026 football schedule has a little bit of everything. There’s a big-time opener, some tough Big Ten road trips, a couple of new-school conference matchups, and the rivalry game that always matters most at the end. These six games stand out as the ones Badger fans will have circled the second the […]
The Wisconsin Badgers headed into the Kohl Center and pulled off one of the most improbable escapes in the history of the Border Battle, erasing an 18-point halftime deficit to stun Minnesota 67-63. After looking completely lost in the first half, shooting a dismal percentage, and letting the Gophers dictate everything, Wisconsin flipped the script […]
When the transfer portal opened, the Wisconsin Badgers quickly targeted Old Dominion transfer quarterback Colton Joseph as their top target, getting him in on a visit and securing a commitment shortly after. Joseph was the clear top target for the Badgers, which made sense given his dual-threat ability and multiple years of eligibility remaining to […]
The Wisconsin Badgers won their 11th straight game over the Minnesota Gophers on Wednesday in a 67-63 nail-biter that saw them sweep the season series. It was an ugly start for the Badgers, who were trailing by 20 late in the first half and went into halftime down 35-17. But a strong defensive start to […]
The Wisconsin Badgers were quite active in the transfer portal this offseason, landing 33 commitments, which was the second-most of any team that didn’t change head coaches. Among the positions they attacked the hardest was wide receiver, where the Badgers landed five transfers: SE Louisiana’s Jaylon Domingeaux, Oklahoma State’s Shamar Rigby, Minnesota’s Malachi Coleman, Oklahoma’s […]
That was more than just a tale of two halves. That was two completely different basketball games before and after halftime. The Wisconsin Badgers, who found themselves down 20 points in the first half, completed a second-half comeback against the Minnesota Golden Gophers to win 67-63. The Badgers, down 35-17 (!) at halftime, tied the […]
