Special episode: Wisconsin Badgers run to the 2000 Final Four with Dick Bennett and players from the team

Nearly two decades ago, the Wisconsin Badgers men's basketball
team made an improbable run to the Final Four and set the table
for a cycle of success that featured 19 consecutive appearances
in the NCAA Tournament for a program that was seldom a qualifier
for the Big Dance beforehand. Hear from players on that team --
Mike Kelley, Andy Kowske, Mark Vershaw, Jon Bryant and Maurice
Linton -- as well as coach Dick Bennett. They think back to those
four wins in March and subsequent loss in the national semifinal
and attempt to paint a picture of how a team without any
all-conference players could have huge postseason success.
