By: Marques Eversoll For at least another day, it’s mock draft season. And then Thursday night, it’s draft time. No more overanalyzing 40 times, bench press numbers, height, weight and speed. No more opportunities for prospects to find trouble – or become a “late riser.” (Eye roll.) In all seriousness, I enjoy everything about the…… MORE

What to Watch: Bucks vs. Bulls in the Playoffs
By: Zach Cook The 2014-2015 season for the Milwaukee Bucks was nothing short of remarkable. They came into the season with extremely low expectations, coming off a franchise worst 15-67 campaign.

To beat Kentucky, the Badgers must…
By: Zach Cook The 2015 NCAA Tournament has had a consistent theme for the Wisconsin Badgers: rematches. It began with their Round of 32 matchup against No. 8 Oregon. Then, with a back-and-forth battle with North Carolina in between, the Badgers beat Arizona for the second straight year in the West Regional Final. Thanks in…… MORE
