Wisconsin athletics should be happy heading into this weekend. Its volleyball team reached the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament yet again with a solid performance against Pepperdine at the Field House. The men’s basketball squad, in what looks like a season of resurgence after a disappointing 2017–18 campaign, fought back once again from a second-half deficit to claim its first conference win on the road against No. 14 Iowa.
The men’s hockey team tied No. 6 Penn State on Friday night (despite losing the point to a shootout), and the women take on Syracuse this weekend.
