概要

 Wisconsin's men's basketball team kept fans on edge this weekend, with the fifth-seeded Badgers edging out Illinois in the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals before falling 68-65 to top-seeded Michigan in a nail-biting semifinal on Saturday at Chicago's United Center, according to Big Ten Network highlights. Players like Austin Rapp with 18 points and Nick Boyd with 14 points, five rebounds and five assists shone brightly, as the team now awaits its NCAA tournament fate during today's selection show on CBS.

In politics, the state legislature wrapped its regular session on March 19 after starting January 13, per MultiState records, amid criticism for adjourning early. Representative Amaad Rivera-Wagner introduced a constitutional amendment to empower voters with direct ballot initiatives and referendums, allowing citizens to propose or reject laws, as reported by WisPolitics. This comes as 26 states, including neighbors Michigan and Illinois, already offer such tools. Governor Tony Evers signed eight bills, including expansions to the Safe Haven law and science teacher development, WisPolitics notes.

Economically, construction presses on Meta's $1 billion data center in Beaver Dam, potentially drawing 220 megawatts of power, with the Public Service Commission ordering Alliant Energy to disclose more contract details amid transparency concerns, Finance & Commerce reports. It's one of seven projects worth over $57 billion statewide. UW-Stout partnered with Alquist to pioneer 3D concrete printing in its labs, training students for innovative construction, per WisPolitics. Milwaukee eyes $14 million in pedestrian upgrades, while road projects persist post-icy winter, Daily Reporter states. Rural areas advance via the REV program, fostering entrepreneurship in places like Merrill.

Education and community efforts highlight Waupun's Blue Heron Antiques winning WEDC's Main Street Makeover for up to $10,000 in upgrades next spring. No major recent weather events disrupted the state.

Looking Ahead: Watch for NCAA bids, pre-bid meetings starting this week on infrastructure like the Blatnik Bridge, and progress on data centers and 3D printing curricula.
