MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin's seniors were openly critical of coach Greg Gard during a late-season team meeting that was secretly recorded and sent to a newspaper.

The Wisconsin State Journal says it received a 37-minute audio file this week of a Feb. 19 team meeting that included seven senior players, Gard, and three assistant coaches.
