The Wisconsin Badgers made it official on Monday evening when they named Greg Gard as the new head coach of the men's basketball team. It was presumably a foregone conclusion, given the fact that UW posted the job just under a couple of weeks ago during the season. That fueled speculation that Gard, who guided Wisconsin to a 12-6 mark in the 18 games he coached after taking over for Bo Ryan, would have the "interim" tag taken off -- and rightfully so. Wisconsin has won 11 of their last 13 games heading into the Big Ten Tournament that starts this Thursday, and is ranked No.
