BuckyCap: Badgers Survive Gophers’ Late Push
For the last couple of weeks, my warning about Wisconsin is this one… They’ve let some teams sneak through the backdoor. They are red hot with six straight games. But one fatal flaw has been slowing down the game too much. Wisconsin gets out to
March Is Almost Upon Us For Wisconsin & Marquette
Welcome back to the SnoTapWI Bracket Watch. We did a version of this right before I left for Europe, and things have changed a bit for both State of Wisconsin teams. After that post, Marquette went on to lose three straight Big East games but
BuckyCap: Badgers Stay Hot & Burn Michigan
Wisconsin Badgers are one of the hottest teams in college basketball. Big Ten teams do not win often away from their home digs this season. But Wisconsin did on Thursday night. They took control early and never gave it back. Wisconsin won 81-74, and they’ve
Fred Hoiberg Doin’ Fred Hoiberg Things Adding Kobe King

BuckyCap: Gophers Start Quick & Never Look Back
A few times this Big Ten season, Wisconsin Badgers entered a road arena with a team in need of a win. That was true on Wednesday night too. The Minnesota Golden Gophers find themselves on the bubble for the NCAA Tournament. Minnesota knew that a
BuckyCap: Wisconsin Gets Their Statement Win
Wisconsin Badgers needed to make a statement on Saturday. This statement is not just winning the game, rather, a statement about all of the things that are happening right now in Madison. Kobe King left the program. Brad Davison was suspended for the game against
SnoTapWI Bracket Watch: Is Wisconsin On The Bubble?
This headline might confuse you. I get it. It confuses me too. When I went to write up my bracket watch consulting Joe Lunardi and Jerry Palm’s Friday brackets, Palm has Wisconsin as the first four teams out. And on top of that, Palm ranks
Greg Gard’s Passionate Defense of Brad Davison Falls Short
Wisconsin Badgers head coach Greg Gard is trying to keep things together right now. Wisconsin just lost Kobe King to the transfer portal. And Brad Davison, Wisconsin’s catalyst, is suspended for Saturday’s game against Michigan State due to a flagrant one foul on Monday. The
