Go Badgers!

Go Badgers is a new feature I will post every Saturday throughout the remainder of the NCAA Basketball season. It will focus mainly on The University of Wisconsin, but also any other major college basketball stories.

This year is an exciting year to be a Badger fan. The Badgers are currently Ranked No. 3 in the AP Poll and No. 4 in the ESPN/USA Today poll. Those are the highest rankings in school history. With a record of 16-1 and just beginning the Big Ten schedule, this is the first team that has a legitimate shot at the Final Four.

This week was big with a 72-69 win over Ohio St. on Tuesday, the Badgers have gained the upper hand in the race for the Big Ten Title. Today's game against Northwestern will be a true sign of what the team is made of though. With Wisconsin and Ohio St. seemingly head over heals above the rest of the Big Ten teams, getting past teams that are supposed to be wins shows character. If they can take care of business, Badger fans should be cheering all the way through March. Go Badgers!
