And up and down year for the Wisconsin Badgers continues after a victory in the first round of March Madness against Florida State. First round ‘upsets’ are not uncommon in the annual pilgrimage for 65+ college basketball teams. The chance to overcome regular season disappointments and conference tournament play sometimes sparks a team to achieve great things. But that might be a premature thought as Bucky now faces Xavier. And even with another win the probability of then facing the region’s number one seed, Pittsburgh, makes for a tough road to the final four. But stranger things have happened.

Pardon this biased reporting from a life-long resident of the dairy state, sport’s home of Badgers and cheeseheads. And check the last news item below. The bonus is Marquette also advanced. Good luck to all the teams whether your season continues or has ended, life goes on.
