Men's basketball is on a tourney trajectory, but can they make noise once they get there? Plus: UW women's hockey players get gold (02.24.2026)

Host JR Radcliffe is joined by Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporters John Steppe and Mark Stewart to discuss the men's basketball team after Nick Boyd's virtuoso performance against Iowa. Even after a hiccup against Ohio State, the Badgers are looking like a tournament team, but what are they capable up upon arrival? What does Jack Janicki's injury do to that outlook? Plus, they chat about the rough patch for the women's basketball team, the up-and-down showing by the men's hockey team and the documentary "A Road at Night," chronicling the tragic car crash that befell former UW assistant Howard Moore and his family. Then, freelance hockey writer Nicole Haase stops by (35:00) to discuss the success of the current UW players in the Olympics, bringing a gold medal back to the Badgers as they prepare for the WCHA postseason and beyond. Is KK Harvey the best Badgers player ever? Is this the best Badgers team ever? How did Lacey Eden and others help keep the team afloat with the Olympians in Italy? And what's next for women's hockey on an international stage?
