Wisconsin basketball’s John Blackwell is not afraid to take last shot
The sophomore looked back at the team’s loss to UCLA Tuesday in Los Angeles and the potential game-tying shot that was blocked in the final seconds.
After splitting a two-game road trip in Los Angeles, the Wisconsin Badgers make a quick stop back in Madison on Sunday to face struggling Nebraska.
UW had a seven-game winning streak snapped at UCLA Tuesday night after John Blackwell’s last-shot attempt was blocked.
Though the No. 18 Badgers (15-4 overall, 5-3 in the Big Ten) have won seven of the last 10 meetings with the Cornhuskers, they’ve lost three of the last four, including giving up an 18-point lead in their last game, in Lincoln last season when UW was ranked No. 6.

Despite Tuesday’s loss, the Badgers are one of seven Big Ten teams averaging over 80 points a game. UW continues to lead the nation in free throw percentage at 85.5% and John Tonje is sixth individually at 93%.

Wisconsin warns of “sextortion,” online crimes against kids
MILWAUKEE – The FBI calls it an online crime against kids – perpetrators convincing kids to send sexual images of themselves and then blackmailing them.
Online crime against kids
The backstory:
The reality is settling in. This will be Brittney Bird’s first Christmas without her son, Bradyn Bohn, since he was born. That is because just nine months ago, the 15-year-old died by suicide, just hours after telling his family good night.
“This winter has been pretty heavy,” Bird said. “This will be a lot of first this year.”
Bird said Bradyn was the kind of kid who would always try to make you launch. The teen had a lot of friends, played sports, did well academically, and had big plans for the future.
“Definitely a kid who we were just so proud of,” Bird said. “Bradyn never struggled with or suffered from mental illness or depression or anything of that nature so immediately we knew, you know something’s wrong.”
Once police went through Bradyn’s phone, she said it came out he was the victim of the cyber crime, sextortion.
What is sextortion?
What we know:
“Sextortion is a form of online child exploitation where a child is coerced by a perpetrator to send compromising images,” said Jesse Crowe from the Wisconsin Department of Justice.
This week, the Wisconsin Department of Justice sent out a public service announcement on sextortion.
Officials say suspects often pose as someone else online. While exchanging messages, they convince a child to send images of themselves. Once they have explicit images of the child, they use the photos or videos to blackmail the child into sending even more images, money or ask for sexual favors.
FBI data, change in Wisconsin law
Dig deeper:
The FBI said victims are typically males between the ages of 14 and 17, but any child can be a target.
This crime led to at least 20 suicides between October 2021 and March 2023.
In the months after Bradyn’s death, change would come to Wisconsin. Earlier in December, Gov. Tony Evers signed Bradyn’s Law. It creates a new crime of sexual extortion in Wisconsin. It aims to ensure harsh penalties for those who exploit children online.
“It will bring, hopefully statewide, eventually nationwide attention to where every family is having this conversation with their kids,” Bird told FOX6 News.
Take action
What you can do:
The Department of Justice said the best thing to do if a child finds themselves in this situation is the following:
- Block the perpetrator
- Report the account, but do not delete the messages
- Tell a trusted adult
- Do not send any money

Trump names Christmas Eve, Dec. 26 federal holidays. What does that mean for Wisconsin?
Holiday lights map
The City of Milwaukee Christmas Tree, Milwaukee Holiday Lights Festival and Candy Cane Lane holiday events make the season bright.
President Donald Trump declared Christmas Eve and Dec. 26 to be federal holidays this year.
The Dec. 18 executive order deems the days as work holidays for all federal departments and agencies, but adds some of them will remain open. Certain offices may stay open on one or both days for “national security, defense, or other public need,” the order reads.
But, what does this mean for other federal workers and services?
Here’s what to know in Wisconsin:
Are Christmas Eve, Dec. 26 official federal holidays?
Even though Christmas Eve and Dec. 26 have been declared federal holidays in 2025, they are not permanent additions to the holiday schedule.
Legislation must be passed by Congress and then signed into law by the president for a federal holiday declaration to be official.
Who gets Christmas Eve, Dec. 26 off in Wisconsin?
Only federal agencies are set to be closed on Christmas Eve and Dec. 26, according to USA TODAY.
Since these two days have not been designated permanent federal holidays, many businesses that follow the schedule will likely not give their employees a last-minute extended Christmas break.
Wisconsin state government and Milwaukee city offices are closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, but will be open on Dec. 26.
Will mail still be delivered on Christmas Eve, Dec. 26 in Wisconsin?
Yes. The U.S. Postal Service will deliver mail and post office locations will remain open on Christmas Eve and Dec. 26, according to its website. Mail will not be delivered and locations will be closed on Christmas.
Will banks be open on Christmas Eve, Dec. 26 in Wisconsin?
Yes. Banks will follow the typical schedule of being open on Christmas Eve and Dec. 26, according to the U.S. Federal Reserve. Banks will be closed on Christmas.
