Don't count out Wisconsin just yet

During Bo Ryan's tenure the Badgers never finished worse than fourth in the Big Ten, which was a remarkable record. It looks unlikely that they will do that this year, though. They are currently 8th, with nine games remaining, so that will be a tough pull. However, they have won their last four games to pull to 5-4 in conference play and their four losses were by a total of 15 points, so they have not been out of any of the games. They do not have a senior starter, and outstanding freshman center Ethan Happ is just starting to come into his own - another in a long line of late-blooming big men for Wisconsin. Who knows?
