Wisconsin's hopes at even a shared Big Ten championship now hang by a thread following a crushing loss against Purdue. Ice-cold shooting killed the Badgers, as the club hit just six of 28 three-point shots and missed its final 17 attempts.

A decade ago, Bo Ryan hauled in back-to-back conference coach of the year awards. With the Badgers greatly surpassing expectations this season, could he do it again?

In the past eight days, the Badgers have taken the teams they were supposed to behind the woodshed and showed them what for. How has that affected their tournament standing?

Wisconsin shot 48 percent from three-point land en route to destroying Nebraska. It marked the Badgers' third straight win of 20 points or more.

Maybe that was boring, but boy, was it needed. The Badgers used their distinct size advantage to out-muscle the Wildcats, and now they can rest easy for the next week.

The Badgers aren't flying under the radar anymore. They must avoid any missteps against Big Ten also-rans to keep their conference title hopes alive. Northwestern blogger Rodger Sherman joined us to explain UW's next challenge.
