The Wisconsin Badgers have came a long way from the disarray that surrounded them when longtime head coach Bo Ryan suddenly retired in December, leaving behind a 7-5 team. Interim coach Greg Gard has done quality work to resurrect the Badgers, who - save for a few tough losses - have rebounded nicely and now ride a six-game win streak.
The Badgers have lost just one game since Melo Trimble stuck a dagger in them on Jan. 9. In their current run of play, they've beaten quality Michigan State and Indiana teams, and they've begun to more closely resemble some of Ryan's best teams.
