STEVE APPS/Capital Newspapers archives Brock Fritz | News Republic here are 521-plus weeks in a decade, and it took nearly every one to tell the story T of Wisconsin sports in the 2010s. Wisconsin teams continued to collect accolades up until the calendar flipped, as the University of Wisconsin women’s volleyball team lost the national championship, and the Green Bay Packers wrapped up their sixth NFC North title of the decade and a first-round playoff bye with consecutive wins over Chicago, Minnesota and Detroit. The past month capped off a decade-long run of standout performances as Wisconsin spent time in the spotlight in every major sport the state competes in. https://www.wiscnews.com/baraboonewsrepublic/sports/wisconsin-teams-reached-new-heights-in-2010s/article_80d8dfb3-7978-51e3-835d-51fcd7d1… 2/18 10/19/2020 Wisconsin teams reached new heights in 2010s | Area sports | wiscnews.com While it’s still a surprise to see the Milwaukee Brewers or Bucks playing in the final month of the season, it’s no longer out of the ordinary for Wisconsin teams to be perennial contenders. It could be argued that the ridiculous run that Boston teams are on makes Massachusetts the only state that’s been more consistently relevant than Wisconsin in the sporting world since 2010. In the last 10 years, the Brewers and Packers set team records for number of playoff appearances in a decade, while the Bucks made their most playoff appearances since the 1980s, and all three professional teams have had at least one league MVP — the Packers’ Aaron Rodgers (2011 and 2014), the Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo (2019), and the Brewers’ Ryan Braun (2011) and Christian Yelich (2018). Furthermore, the University of Wisconsin continued its rise that started in the 1990s. In the 2010s, the men’s basketball team doubled its Final Four total while setting a program record for Sweet 16 appearances; the football team went to a program-best three Rose Bowls (with a fourth coming on the first day of 2020), the women’s hockey team won a pair of national titles and went to eight Frozen Fours; the men’s hockey team reached one Frozen Four; the men’s cross country team won an NCAA title; the women’s volleyball team reached five regional finals, including two national runner-up finishes; women’s swimmers Maggie Meyer (2011) and Beata Nelson (2019) won the only national championships in program history; and men’s cross country runner Morgan McDonald became the third athlete ever to win the NCAA men’s cross country, indoor 3,000 meters, indoor 5,000 and outdoor 5,000 titles in the same season. https://www.wiscnews.com/baraboonewsrepublic/sports/wisconsin-teams-reached-new-heights-in-2010s/article_80d8dfb3-7978-51e3-835d-51fcd7d1… 3/18 10/19/2020 Wisconsin teams reached new heights in 2010s | Area sports | wiscnews.com Sure, the 2011 Super Bowl-winning Packers are the only high-profile team that came home with a season-ending trophy, but every Wisconsin team had its time in the sun over a decade that saw them continually trying to break through their ceilings. Green Bay Packers — 2011 Super Bowl; 6 NFC North titles; 102- 56-2 It can be hard to remember how good the Packers have been because of how much the state frets over everything they do. But they were very productive for much of the 2010s, with the exception of a 7-9 record in 2017 and 6-9-1 record in 2018, which led to the firing of Mike McCarthy and hiring of Matt LaFleur. Green Bay’s eight playoff appearances in the 2010s (not counting the upcoming postseason) are second only to New England’s 10 — and if you’re going to compare yourself to Bill Belichick and Tom Brady, you’re going to lose. The Packers went 102- 56-2 in the regular season from 2010-2019. New England (125-35) is the only team with a better record in the 2010s, while Pittsburgh finished 102-57-1. https://www.wiscnews.com/baraboonewsrepublic/sports/wisconsin-teams-reached-new-heights-in-2010s/article_80d8dfb3-7978-51e3-835d-51fcd7d1… 4/18 10/19/2020 Wisconsin teams reached new heights in 2010s | Area sports | wiscnews.com The 2019 Packers won the team’s sixth NFC North title in the decade. It was a decade which they dominated their rivals, going 17-4 against Chicago, 13-6 against Minnesota and 12-8 against Detroit. Green Bay went a perfect 6-0 against the NFC North this season. The Packers’ dynamic offense entered the decade looking like a potential dynasty, winning the 2011 Super Bowl and starting 13-0 the following season with Rodgers playing alongside Donald Driver, Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson, Jermichael Finley, Randall Cobb and James Jones. They put up huge numbers, including averaging 35.0 points per game in 2011 — a year in which teams were averaging 22.2 points per game across the league — thanks to Rodgers’ 4,643 yards, 45 touchdowns and NFL-record 122.5 passer rating in 15 games. But they couldn’t always outscore opponents in big games, which frequently came back to bite them. Despite defensive struggles, a careful approach to free agency, a coaching change, a defensive coordinator change and a general manager change, the Packers will exit the decade with one Super Bowl and two more trips to the conference championship in their eight playoff appearances. In comparison, the 2000s Packers went to the playoffs five times and appeared in one conference championship. Milwaukee Bucks — 2019 Central Division title; 6 playoff appearances; 402-406 https://www.wiscnews.com/baraboonewsrepublic/sports/wisconsin-teams-reached-new-heights-in-2010s/article_80d8dfb3-7978-51e3-835d-51fcd7d1… 5/18 10/19/2020 Wisconsin teams reached new heights in 2010s | Area sports | wiscnews.com The NBA lets 16 of the league’s 30 teams into the playoffs, but it’s still remarkable the Bucks were one of those 16 teams six times in a decade that was largely forgettable until the last few years. The Bucks were stuck in purgatory much of the 2010s, not being good enough to be a true threat or bad enough to get a high draft pick. Then they hit gold with the 15th pick of the 2013 draft, selecting Antetokounmpo in what was the first move in turning the Bucks into the championship contender they are as the calendar turns. The turnaround wasn’t immediate, as the Bucks went 15-67 in 2013-14 with a young, raw Antetokounmpo. Questions about moving the organization to another city faded when Wes Edens and Marc Lasry bought the team in 2014 and broke ground on Fiserv Forum in 2016. Things progressed from there, as Antetokounmpo developed into a juggernaut, Fiserv replaced the Bradley Center, the Bucks became a relatively viable free-agent destination and the 2018-19 Bucks won their first playoff series since 2001. The Bucks cruised to a 60-22 regular season in 2018-19, winning their first Central Division title since 2000-01. They earned the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference and beat Detroit and Boston before being eliminated by Toronto in the Eastern Conference finals. The Bucks hadn’t won a playoff series since advancing to the 2001 conference finals, where they loss to Philadelphia in seven games. https://www.wiscnews.com/baraboonewsrepublic/sports/wisconsin-teams-reached-new-heights-in-2010s/article_80d8dfb3-7978-51e3-835d-51fcd7d1… 6/18 10/19/2020 Wisconsin teams reached new heights in 2010s | Area sports | wiscnews.com Milwaukee has three straight winning seasons for the first time since a 1998-2001 run that included going 28-22 during the lockout-shortened 1998-99 season. The Bucks also went 41-41 in 2014-15, giving them just one losing season in the last five years. Winners of 30 of their first 35 games of 2019-20, the Bucks are once again running away with the league’s best record. Whether or not the Bucks remain relevant next decade depends on what they do this season — and what that means for Antetokounmpo, who can become an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2021. If the Bucks can entice the 6-foot-11 star from Greece to stay put, they should contend throughout the 2020s. Milwaukee Brewers — 2 NL Central titles; 3 playoff appearances; 824-797 https://www.wiscnews.com/baraboonewsrepublic/sports/wisconsin-teams-reached-new-heights-in-2010s/article_80d8dfb3-7978-51e3-835d-51fcd7d1… 7/18 10/19/2020 Wisconsin teams reached new heights in 2010s | Area sports | wiscnews.com The Brewers only went to the postseason three times in the 2010s, but that’s massive for an organization that doubled their all-time playoff appearances. Back-to-back postseason trips in 2018 and 2019 joined 2011, 2008, 1982 and 1981 as the only appearances since the organization was formed as the Seattle Pilots in 1969. The Brewers made two trips to the NLCS, a 2011 run that ended in Game 6 against the St.

  • Warriors Stay on Track for History
    Sports FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 2016 Warriors stay on track for history OAKLAND: Stephen Curry scored 33 points as the Golden State Warriors stayed on track to make more history Wednesday night with a 114-98 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. Klay Thompson added 32 points with seven 3-pointers, Curry drew a rare technical in the fourth, and Harrison Barnes had 11 points and six rebounds as Golden State (64-7) stayed one game ahead of the 1995-96 Bulls’ pace in their record 72-win season. The Warriors won their 51st straight regular-season home game, improving to 33-0 this season at rockin’ Oracle Arena - where the fans let the rival Clippers have it at every opportunity. DeAndre Jordan scored 19 points for the Clippers, swept by Golden State for the first time since dropping all six meetings in 1985-86. SPURS 112, HEAT 88 Kawhi Leonard matched his career high with 32 points before leaving with a bruised quadriceps as San Antonio beat Miami to remain perfect at home. San Antonio has won its first 36 home games, leaving the Spurs a game shy of matching the record set by Chicago in 1995-96. The Spurs have won 45 consecutive regular-season games at home over two seasons. Leonard’s injury could have put a damper on the team’s 60th overall vic- tory, but it did not appear serious. He left with 6:01 remaining in the third quarter complet- ing a three-point play after being fouled on a driving layup by Justise Winslow.
