Wisconsin basketball loss at Ohio State a reminder of Badgers' limitations
<p>Despite its deflating loss at the hands of a middling Ohio State Buckeyes squad, this <a target="_blank" href="http://badgerbreakaway.com">Wisconsin basketball</a> team is still the same group that earned t<a target="_blank" href="https://www.badgernotes.com/p/wisconsin-basketball-mailbag-austin-rapp-turnaround-unsung-contributors">op-10 road wins</a> in Ann Arbor over the Michigan Wolverines and in Champaign over the Illinois Fighting Illini (not to mention a dominating victory over Tom Izzo and the Michigan State Spartans).</p><p>This UW squad that fell 86-69 in Columbus is the same one that erased a massive deficit against the Minnesota Golden Gophers, because it is the same group that put itself in the precarious position of needing <a target="_blank" href="https://www.badgernotes.com/p/wisconsin-basketball-proves-new-way-it-can-win-vs-minnesota">a historic comeback</a> to sweep the Gophers.</p><p>Wisconsin is flawed, but its flaws are what make this basketball team so exciting. It is the traits that seemingly give the Badgers a chance to beat any team on a given night that also make them so vulnerable.</p><p>After back-to-back wins over Illinois and Michigan State, the ceiling of head coach Greg Gard’s latest squad was realized. It did not, however, eliminate the risks of employing a team built around <a target="_blank" href="https://www.badgernotes.com/p/wisconsin-basketball-mailbag-nick-boyd-defense-2027-recruiting">two ball-dominant guards</a> and effective long-range shooting. When either of those two factors, let alone both at once, is lost, this is a basketball team that quickly comes crashing down to Earth.</p><p>But hey, that’s college basketball.</p><p><strong>*</strong><a target="_blank" href="http://youtube.com/@talkinbadgers"><strong>Watch on YouTube</strong></a></p><p>*<a target="_blank" href="https://discord.com/invite/22kGDjR7gX">Join Bucky's Burrow!</a></p><p>*Follow <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbnQtVWZQZEtqWW1SclBtMnF6Q09XNlYzUnd6d3xBQ3Jtc0trM3RlUndvR3BWTi0wUnJPRlVHRU9odXMwcnRMNnJvbmVMU2lkeUk3OTBIc0dqaXN3ZGxWVWlvcklTSVNIT09BNzZmVlJTbVdXaVJaeUVKOFRGemV2TExoNjJ6UnA3WEc2MlZoMFNaY05pajRMZ012OA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2FDillonGraff&v=BBkFoauHf4w">Dillon Graff</a></p><p>*Follow Kedrick on <a target="_blank" href="https://bsky.app/profile/kedrickstumbris.bsky.social">Bluesky</a></p><p>*Follow the podcast on <a target="_blank" href="http://www.x.com/talkinbadgers">Twitter/X</a></p><p><strong>We appreciate you taking the time to read our work at </strong><a target="_blank" href="https://www.badgernotes.com/"><strong>BadgerNotes.com</strong></a><strong>.

Wisconsin men's basketball proves new way it can win vs. Minnesota
<p>Facing a 20-point deficit in the first half, all seemed lost for <a target="_blank" href="http://badgernotes.com">Wisconsin basketball</a> on Wednesday night. By intermission, that lead slimmed narrowly to 18 points, but that was just enough for the Wisconsin Badgers to mount a comeback tied for the largest in program history.</p><p>Led by John Blackwell’s game-high 23 points, UW, for the second time in eight days, escaped with a dramatic victory over the Minnesota Golden Gophers. By capturing the 67-63 win, Wisconsin tied a program record for the largest deficit overcome in a second half and set a new record with its longest-ever winning streak over its border battle rival.</p><p>Unpack all the history of the win, a handful of key plays, and what made this Wisconsin men’s basketball win different than its other recent come-from-behind victories. This time, Wisconsin won thanks, in part, to a hard-nosed defensive effort, and not solely on the back of its prolific offense; that signals a continued upward trajectory for these Badgers.</p><p><strong>*</strong><a target="_blank" href="http://youtube.com/@talkinbadgers"><strong>Watch on YouTube</strong></a></p><p>*<a target="_blank" href="https://discord.com/invite/22kGDjR7gX">Join Bucky's Burrow!</a></p><p>*Follow <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbnQtVWZQZEtqWW1SclBtMnF6Q09XNlYzUnd6d3xBQ3Jtc0trM3RlUndvR3BWTi0wUnJPRlVHRU9odXMwcnRMNnJvbmVMU2lkeUk3OTBIc0dqaXN3ZGxWVWlvcklTSVNIT09BNzZmVlJTbVdXaVJaeUVKOFRGemV2TExoNjJ6UnA3WEc2MlZoMFNaY05pajRMZ012OA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2FDillonGraff&v=BBkFoauHf4w">Dillon Graff</a></p><p>*Follow Kedrick on <a target="_blank" href="https://bsky.app/profile/kedrickstumbris.bsky.social">Bluesky</a></p><p>*Follow the podcast on <a target="_blank" href="http://www.x.com/talkinbadgers">Twitter/X</a></p><p><strong>We appreciate you taking the time to read our work at </strong><a target="_blank" href="https://www.badgernotes.com/"><strong>BadgerNotes.com</strong></a><strong>.

Injured Wisconsin basketball meets 'a very good Panthers team'
<p>With recent injuries to NBA Draft prospects John Blackwell and Nolan Winter, <a target="_blank" href="http://badgernotes.com">Wisconsin basketball</a> could be shorthanded when facing the in-state Milwaukee Panthers. As Big Ten play looms, the Wisconsin Badgers cannot afford to slip up, no matter their injury situation.</p><p>If Blackwell and Winter are unable to play, UW will quickly have to find the secondary scoring options it has been lacking. Against the Central Michigan Chippewas, transfers Braeden Carrington and Austin Rapp combined for 27 points, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.badgernotes.com/p/wisconsin-badgers-basketball-88-61-win-central-michigan-takeaways?r=1szimq&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web">showcasing some promise</a> of becoming reliable options alongside Blackwell, Winter, and Nick Boyd. </p><p>A fast-paced Milwaukee team could test a questionable Badgers defense. Liam Hanley of the Shepherd Express joins <a target="_blank" href="http://youtube.com/@talkinbadgers">Talkin’ Badgers</a> host Kedrick Stumbris to offer the Panthers’ perspective on the non-conference matchup. This year’s version of head coach Bart Lundy’s Milwaukee Panthers is younger than his other recent teams, but it remains an offense-first program. A welcome change from years past, however, is Milwaukee’s surprising knack for taking care of the basketball.</p><p>Between injuries, high-octane offense, and the Panthers playing three games in four days, this winter break matchup may wind up more closely-contested than Badgers fans would prefer. </p><p><strong>*</strong><a target="_blank" href="http://youtube.com/@talkinbadgers"><strong>Watch on YouTube</strong></a></p><p>*Follow <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/lhanley_34">Liam Hanley on X</a>*Read Liam's work for <a target="_blank" href="https://shepherdexpress.com/topics/liam-hanley/">Shepherd Express</a>*<a target="_blank" href="https://www.basketunderreview.com/the-oldest-players-in-college-basketball-2025-26/">Oldest Players in College Basketball</a>*Listen to <a target="_blank" href="https://open.spotify.com/show/29eFGK8n1Zm2boWaeVFwNx">MKE Sports Express</a></p><p>*<a target="_blank" href="https://discord.com/invite/22kGDjR7gX">Join Bucky's Burrow!</a></p><p>*Follow <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbnQtVWZQZEtqWW1SclBtMnF6Q09XNlYzUnd6d3xBQ3Jtc0trM3RlUndvR3BWTi0wUnJPRlVHRU9odXMwcnRMNnJvbmVMU2lkeUk3OTBIc0dqaXN3ZGxWVWlvcklTSVNIT09BNzZmVlJTbVdXaVJaeUVKOFRGemV2TExoNjJ6UnA3WEc2MlZoMFNaY05pajRMZ012OA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fx.com%2FDillonGraff&v=BBkFoauHf4w">Dillon Graff</a></p><p>*Follow Kedrick on <a target="_blank" href="https://bsky.app/profile/kedrickstumbris.bsky.social">Bluesky</a> or the website formerly known as <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/KedrickStumbris">Twitter</a></p><p>*Follow the podcast on <a target="_blank" href="http://www.x.com/talkinbadgers">Twitter/X</a></p><p><strong>We appreciate you taking the time to read our work at </strong><a target="_blank" href="https://www.badgernotes.com/"><strong>BadgerNotes.com</strong></a><strong>.
