Wisconsin Basketball Celebrates 10th Anniversary of Final Fours

Madison, WI - The history of the Wisconsin basketball program is not one littered with championships. Between 1948 and 1993, the Badgers men's basketball team did not once compete in an NCAA Tournament or win a Big Ten title, let alone make a Final Four. That absence of championships perhaps made a pair of back-to-back appearances in the national semifinal so memorable to Badgers fans. 

Neither the 2014 nor 2015 Final Four appearances resulted in Wisconsin's first national championship since 1941; that title from a lifetime ago still hangs alone in the rafters of the Kohl Center. That two-season run accounts for half of the Badgers' appearances on college basketball's greatest stage. 

On Friday night, Wisconsin honored the athletes who, at a program without championship pedigree, "Made 'Em Believe."
