Sunday at the Kohl Center will be more than just an important basketball game for the University of Wisconsin. It will mark a celebration of one of the more magical Final Four runs in Big Ten history.

Sitting at 13-12 overall, Dick Bennett's team caught fire at the right time to win. Wisconsin won its final three regular season games to finish 8-8 in the Big Ten, advanced to the semifinals of the Big Ten tournament, earned a No.8 seed in the 2000 NCAA Tournament and beat three Associated Press Top 25 teams - including No.1 seed Arizona in the second round - to advance to the program's first Final Four in 59 years.

In this edition of the BadgerBlitz.com podcast, Matt Lepay - the radio voice of Wisconsin basketball since 1988 - joins the show to share his memories of a Badgers team who showed it was possible for the program to compete on the biggest stage.

We also recap where Wisconsin is now as a program following the victory over Michigan State and the loss at Minnesota, as well as UW football's haul on national signing day.
