Hockey madness, spring football and a women's basketball team still playing (03.30.2026)

Badgers reporters John Steppe and Mark Stewart join host JR Radcliffe to discuss the blizzard of Wisconsin athletics happenings, including a national championship for the women's hockey team and the men's hockey team reaching the Frozen Four. Both needed overtime wins to secure their prizes, with the women landing a ninth championship and third in the last four years. How does Mark Johnson do this? Was the men's run a surprise? What does hockey mean right now to Madison? Plus, some reactions to spring practice and the story lines to watch. Are we going to know the names of any key contributors from last year? John checks in from Wichita where he's about to watch the women's team face off in the WBIT semifinals on a run that included a crazy victory over Harvard. And, yes, we haven't yet spoken about the men's basketball team's heartbreaking end to the season and their first-round loss to High Point. We dive into that as well.
