Badgers coach Mark Johnson and forwards Casey O'Brien and Kelly Gorbatenko discuss a 6-2 win over Minnesota State on Saturday. The Badgers hockey teams tried not to let the final score be the takeaway from their experiences playing outdoors.

Wisconsin basketball continued its strong stretch of play with an 80-59 win over Minnesota on Friday. With the triumph, the Badgers improved to 13-3 and 3-2 in Big Ten play, marks that have each been greatly aided by the team’s current five-game winning streak (three over Big Ten opponents).

The team also had just three assists and wasn't getting its preferred balance of shots in the paint and from three-point range. But after the Badgers gathered themselves, everything was alright.
