BuckyCap: Badgers Take Care of Business vs. Northwestern
Wisconsin Badgers had to be like a business on Wednesday evening. This is ironic considering they were playing Northwestern. All Wisconsin had to do was go in and win. They did just that. Wisconsin won 63-48 and handled things to put themselves at the top
MubbCap: Marquette’s Lack of Urgency Leads to Another Loss
Things aren’t well at Marquette. They’re a bigger mess than most couples on Netflix’s new show ‘Love is Blind.’ Marquette laid an egg against DePaul when they had no eggs left to be laid. Last week against a depleted Georgetown team, Marquette went out and
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

Fred Hoiberg Doin’ Fred Hoiberg Things Adding Kobe King
Fred Hoiberg is nicknamed The Mayor. The nickname is one I used for my guy Kappy back in the day. It signals a guy that knows everyone somehow, someway. During his time at Iowa State, Hoiberg made a name for himself by creating a transfer
Is Marquette Broken or Can They Figure It Out?
Marquette Golden Eagles are back at it again. For the second straight year, Marquette is falling apart. Golden Eagles have lost 10 of their last 17 games in February and March. Those are the months when college basketball teams are supposed to hit their stride,
