Wisconsin's Morning News Makes The Public Record! 25.06.2026

Why the Herro Hate? 24.06.2026

But, he's a hometown kid? So, why is this trade being met with such vitriol? Is it because it was in exchange for Giannis. Or possibly the switch-a-roo he put on Wisconsin to go to Kentucky? We discuss that, and the young guns the Bucks just drafted - will they make an impact at just 20 years old?
