Wisconsin Badgers

Anyone who has watched the Wisconsin Badgers basketball team play this year has noticed that they lack a true “star” performer. However, that has not stopped them from having a successful season to this point. Home court advantage has remained a positive for the Badgers, where they have only one loss. Sophmore Trevon Hughes has vastly increased his scoring output to 14.2 points per game, and is a big reason why the Badgers have been successful. Also, Brian Butch has become the main scoring option, replacing All-American Alando Tucker and guard Kammron Taylor in a team that was ranked #1 last year for a brief stint. Marcus Landry has continued to improve, and Michael Flowers brings senior leadership to a young team. Fan favorite Joe Krabbenhoft has continued his scrappy play as well, continuing to earn minutes based on hustle and court intelligence. At this point in the season, the Badgers have suffered only two losses, both to impressive ranked teams in Marquette and Duke. They were able to knock off #9(at the time) Texas in a thrilling game that Wisconsin played without guard Trevon Hughes. Currently, the Badgers are 13-2, and face a Big 10 that will most definitely test them, especially with teams like Indiana and Michigan State playing so well. Despite the challenges of this years Big 10, we can be sure that Bo Ryan will have this team ready to play come tourney time.
