THIS WEEK IN BADGER HISTORY
Led by senior Alando Tucker, the 2006-07 Badgers won a school-record 30 games. January 28, 2007 Tucker's time to shine
Led by a game-high 21 points from Alando Tucker — who became just the second Badger to surpass the 2,000-point plateau — the No. 2-ranked men's basketball team defeated Iowa, 57-46, to win its school-record 17th-consecutive game. That extended a stretch that saw UW go 67 days without losing a game and helped the Badgers ascend to No. 1 in the Associated Press poll for the first time in school history on Feb. 19.
January 27, 1985 SETTING THE PACE: Cathy Branta broke the Badgers' school record and the Big Ten's all-time mark in the indoor 1,500 meters with the time of 4:18.74.
