'' BADGERS Ask The
Question of the Week:
What is your favorite part about winter in Wisconsin?
BEN BRUST • SOPHOMORE • MEN'S BASKETBALL
"I love that we have four distinct seasons. And, for me, when the snow starts com- ing, you know that you're in the heart of basketball season. I can't really describe it, but it's something that I've grown up with. When the snow is down, it's time to play some basketball."
LAUREN UNSER • JUNIOR • WOMEN'S HOCKEY
"Having a fresh snow and going out to go sledding. I love to go sledding, but I haven't gone down Bascom Hill yet — that's on my bucket list. Also, building snow- men, having snowball fights and being able to play pond hockey with my family and friends."
MARCUS GUTTMAN • JUNIOR • MEN'S SWIMMING & DIVING
"Being able to wear long underwear, wool socks, a hat, and gloves as a necessity, not just an accessory."
MICHELLE MUELLER • SOPHOMORE • SOFTBALL
"My favorite part of winter in Wisconsin is having a white Christmas. You can't replace it and not a lot of states have it, so winter for sure for Christmas."
