Today marks 1 year with
@PGSportsNow

Hey NCAA, can we please call on student writers in the press conferences?

This is the loudest I've ever heard the Kohl Center. Louder than when Chucky Hepburn banked the 3-pointer against Purdue. Absolutely insane. Wisconsin fans love volleyball.

A pair of very kind gestures that did not go unnoticed.

This is pretty lame but I’m really proud of myself and wanted to share:

Today, I took over the loan and am the sole owner of my little Ford Focus

I'm not sure what they put in Chris Vogt's cereal this morning but he's playing very well. Four rebounds, 3 of which are offensive, and a block. He's kept the Badgers in the mix a lot tonight.

I've been to quite a few games at the Pete since I moved here in January. Small sample size, but I can confidently say the only time I've heard it louder was Pitt MBB v. Syracuse.

volleyball is one of the top four teams in the NCAA Tournament, earning it a No. 1 seed.
