In the inaugural edition of the Badger Breakaway podcast, Kedrick Stumbris is joined by WSUM and Big Ten Plus play-by-play voice of the Wisconsin Badgers, Joey Bonadonna. The duo discusses the recent games and previews upcoming matchups for the Wisconsin Badgers men’s basketball, women’s hockey, men’s hockey, and women’s basketball teams.

First, Joey and Kedrick recap UW men’s basketball opening Big Ten conference play with a win over the Northwestern Wildcats. They analyze the show-stopping performance of John Blackwell, the importance of Andrew Rohde as a facilitator, and a change in head coach Greg Gard’s starting lineup. Ahead of Wisconsin renewing the I-94 rivalry with Marquette, the two share their thoughts on the Golden Eagles’ limited offensive success thus far.

Second, it is top-ranked Wisconsin women’s hockey visiting the Ohio State Buckeyes. After recapping the events of the Smashville Showcase, Joey and Kedrick discuss Badgers captain Caroline Harvey’s position atop the national scoring leaderboard and preview what figures to be the only matchup of UW and OSU at full-strength before the postseason.

Finally, the Badgers’ men’s hockey and women’s basketball teams took some time off, but return this weekend. Head coach Mike Hastings brings the #2-ranked Badgers to South Bend, where the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are winless in Big Ten play. Robin Pingeton makes her Big Ten debut on Sunday against the #20 Michigan State Spartans.

Wisconsin basketball fans will not be filling Fiserv Forum this weekend, as the Badgers get shipped out to Denver, Colorado. It’s a stunning move by the committee that, frankly, made things worse for #3 Wisconsin, #3 Kentucky, and #2 Alabama.

Even worse, it could have been easily averted.
