What if? Following a dreadful 19.3 final seconds and an awful offensive performance, the Wisconsin Badgers are going to be asking themselves plenty of that question this offseason. Demetrius Jackson scored six of Notre Dame’s eight points in a 8-0 run over the final 19.3 seconds to secure a 61-56 victory over the Badgers. He […]

As Bronson Koenig knocked down a cold-blooded three pointer from the corner to give Wisconsin a 66-63 victory over Xavier on Sunday, Badger nation went insane.

As Bronson Koenig fell backwards and his buzzer beating shot swished through the hoop, pandemonium set in on the Wisconsin Badgers bench and across Badgers nation.
