Wisconsin faces first adversity under Bielema (AP)

Bret Bielema had a priest, the Rev. Mike Burke, give him a ride home after losing to Iowa. Too bad the third-year coach isn’t Catholic.

“He felt he needed to console me,” Bielema said. “I’m the only non-Catholic head coach that has a priest that’s worried about me.”

There’s a lot of worry in Madison these days. Wisconsin has lost four straight in the Big Ten for the first time in 12 years.
