Wisconsin Badger Basketball STATE OF THE UNION w/ Locked On Badgers

Sports Chat With Matt

Ryan Harings, Host of the Locked On Badgers Podcast joins the show to discuss the current state of the union of Badger basketball and what has gone wrong lately. We discuss Ryan's Journey to getting his current gig at Locked On Badgers, the positives we've seen from the recent rough stretch, our thoughts on the Fire Greg Gard crowd, and more.
We tackle why Greg Gard's teams seem to fizzle out in the heart of Big 10 play. Lastly, we preview the upcoming Wisconsin vs Illinois game which is feeling like an absolute must win for the morale of this team. Things can spiral down-hill quickly if they can't pull of the win.
ALSO in this episode we discuss which team is better 06-07 Wisconsin or 14-15. Let us know your thoughts!
