The Wisconsin Badgers are relentless, fearless, and have zero quit until the final horn. Just days after the Wisconsin women's basketball team was down seven points with less than a minute left, it forced overtime and eventually won against Harvard to head to the semi-finals of the WBIT. The men's hockey team had its own improbable victory over Michigan State to head to the Frozen Four.
This was all thanks to an amazing comeback and Ben Dexheimer's overtime goal. His interview afterward then went viral because he slipped up and said a F-bomb. It was hilarious because of how he tried to fix his slip-up. Then he was so embarrassed that he went and told a teammate he couldn't believe it happened.
"This is an easy group to lead. They fucking- ope, sorry. They want to win"

Wisconsin has won a historical comeback to advance to the Frozen Four for the first time since 2010
The Badgers were down 3-1 with only a few minutes left in the game. And at 15:13, Luke Osborn got one in the back of the net. That still made it 3-2 Spartans, with still barely any time to find the equalizer. The good news is, the Badgers didn't take long. Gavin Morrissey found it nearly 30 seconds later.
That sent Wisconsin vs. Michigan to overtime, where once again, it was only seconds before Wisconsin found a way to get the victory. 24 seconds to be exact, before Dexheimer found the game-winner from the point. Watch the video below:

The Badgers now head to Las Vegas to play in the Frozen Four. If they want to play for the National Championship, the Badgers will need to get by the North Dakota Fighting Hawks. A team that has yet to allow a goal in the postseason. They have outscored their opponents 8-0 in two games. There's a reason the 29-9-1 Fighting Hawks are the No. 2 seed in the tournament.
The game will take place on April 9th, and the start time is still to be determined. It will either start at 4 pm or 7:30 pm.
