Underdog Broadcast Guide: How to Survive Oregon Night
The Wisconsin Badgers, reeling from consecutive shutouts, head to Autzen Stadium on October 25 at 6:00 p.m. CT to face No. 6 Oregon Ducks. Fans can catch the action on FS1 and stream it via FOX One. The broadcast team features Tim Brando (play-by-play), Devin Gardner (analyst) and Josh Sims (sideline). Radio listeners can tune into the Badger Sports Network or the Varsity Network App with Matt Lepay, Mark Tauscher and Patrick Herb, or find the game on Sirius XM Channel 391.
Finally, a clear set of instructions so Badger fans don’t end up watching cat videos instead of actual football! It’s comforting to know that when your team can’t score a point, you at least can score some reliable channel info. Expect epic calls from Tim Brando as he desperately tries to hype a team whose biggest scoring threat might be the concession stand. Grab your radio, pray your app works, and prepare for an evening where “bleeding” refers to your hopes, not you.
Exhibition Exposé: Badgers’ Blood, Sweat & 84-83 Whimper
In their first real opponent of the preseason, Wisconsin head coach Greg Gard watched his squad fall 84-83 to Oklahoma at Fiserv Forum. With nine newcomers and only three returnees, the Badgers endured communication breakdowns, rust and misfires. Standout freshman Austin Rapp displayed versatility—converting post entries, driving, and knocking down threes. Coach Gard noted building blocks on offense but flagged over-dribbling and inefficiency around the rim. Defensively, Wisconsin struggled early, allowing Oklahoma to shoot over 60 percent in the first half before tightening up late. Key stats: the Badgers’ 51-game exhibition winning streak ended, they scored 83 points in 71 possessions, and new additions tallied 50 points.
Ah, the classic college basketball soap opera: nine new faces, three confused returners, and one coach calling players by the wrong names—because nothing says “team cohesion” like referring to your star shooter as “Steve” when his jersey reads “Rapp.” Celebrate the moral victory of learning “more than in practice,” because who needs wins when you can build character, right? Grab your popcorn and watch the Badgers discover the three-point line like it’s a hidden level in Super Mario.
