WBB: Sweet-Sixteen Recap
By Carrie Philips
Well it was an exciting weekend for the B10 in Women’s bball. Heading into the round of 16 there were three schools remaining repping the Big Ten conference… all three underdogs in their individual match-ups. The least likely to come out of the Sweet 16 alive, Purdue, ended up being the only one [...]

Band of Badgers Blogs From the Women’s Tourney
March Madness is a fun time for everyone involved. The fans enjoy picking their brackets, or following their favorite teams from city to city. The team gets to travel across the country, playing neutral-court games on the road to the Final Four. One of the fun things about the neutral-court games is the opportunity to see multiple games back-to-back, and the chance to get a glimpse of the game-day atmosphere of both teams. A prime part of that is the band.

Minnesota Memo 2/25
With three games left in the season, the men Gophers have a legitimate shot to make the tourney. They had a much better shot ten games ago, but have gone 4-6 to bring them into the mass of teams in the conference sitting at 8-7 (their 20-7 overall, however, is best among the four tied teams). One loss, though, could make the end of the season the end of the road for the Gophers, and tomorrow AT Illinois is looking awfully telling. Although a deep run conference tourney could provide a gateway not otherwise open.

PSU Report 2/21
In perhaps the ugliest win in Penn State history, the Nitts defeated the No. 16 Illini 38-33 on Wednesday. It seems obvious that the 71 total points scored marked a record low for the arena (the Illini’s Assembly Hall). Some might say the game was defense-driven. I would argue it was more the horrible shooting (PSU went 28% from the field and Illinois went 30%) and turnovers (PSU’s 13 to Illinois’ 15) that had the largest impact on the outcome of the game. No matter how ugly, though, the Nittany Lions got the win and are just a game behind Illinois in the standings and two and a half games back from MSU at the top of the standings with four games remaining in the regular season.

Boiler Bulletin 2/19
That’s right, your very own No. 19 Boilermaker ballers dealt out a royal ass-kicking on No. 5 Michigan State on Tuesday, 72-54. Perhaps it was the fresh new gear the team was sporting that got them all vamped up and ready to play. Or perhaps it was their suffocating defense. They forced 22 turnovers and blocked eight shots in the contest, holding the Spartans to just 33% shooting. On the offensive side, JuJuan Johnson continues to lead and put up a game-best 17 points. Robbie Hummel, back for his first game since missing three games with a stress fracture in his vertebrae, chipped in 11 points of his own. This big win, coming at the end of the season, could influence the selection committee into a higher seed.
