After losing their first game to Tennessee and head coach Dick Bennett to retirement, the Badgers came out of December and into the Big Ten season with a 10-1 record. Unfortunately for the Badgers, the Big Ten was less forgiving than Wisconsin's early season opponents, and the Badgers tallied just two conference wins on the road to a fifth place finish in the Big Ten. Coaches and players alike thought the team's luck was going to change in the NCAA Tournament, but the Badgers lost to Georgia State in the opening round, closing the books on a season marred by controversy, inconsistent play and an overall sense of disappointment. The recipe for a perfect game is no secret. However, the feat is one of the most difficult to accomplish in all of sports.

This ingredient is the most important, and the hardest to capture, of them all. You can make the perfect pitch with your defenders in perfect position, only to have a check-swing flare drop in for a single.
