  • Locked on Badgers!

    Ryan is knowledgeable and positive but not a homer. He also has great guests. Love when he talks to recruits and their families. Great podcast

The Badgers need to win against Washington to maintain good seeding for the tournament, as this loss was a bad one but might not be detrimental in the committee's eyes if they win upcoming games.
WHAT THE DUCK | LIVE Wisconsin Badgers and Oregon Ducks BASKETBALL REACTION!
