Now that the Wisconsin men’s basketball season is over, it’s time to reflect on the season. Over the year, we dissected each game. Now, it’s time to grade the players. I’m only going to do the rotation players. First, I will start with my Wisconsin Basketball player grades for the guards. Wisconsin Basketball Player Grades: Starting Guards Chucky Hepburn: B- Chucky Hepburn was asked to do a lot this season for the Badgers. Last season, he had the ability to let Johnny Davis and Brad Davison take on that role. This year, it was his show. We never saw Hepburn consistent…

Eventually, Connor Essegian took over the role as Essegian was becoming too good of an offensive player to keep on the bench. Davis was usually the second man off…

Wisconsin spring practices finished up day No. 3 this morning. Early on, it’s been clear from what we’ve seen on Twitter that the pace is quicker, and we’re seeing more emotion from coaches and players. Early on three players have stood out early in these practices.

After a 56-54 loss in the NIT semifinals, the Wisconsin Badgers are now in the offseason. There’s no doubt it’s an important one. They need to add depth and more talent if they are going to return to the NCAA Tournament next season. While we’re not sure who is staying and who is leaving, I’m going to assume in this piece that the rotation players stay and that Tyler Wahl returns for a fifth season. Wisconsin Basketball Point Guard Stays Consistent If Chucky Hepburn stays, there is no doubt he will be the starting point guard. There’s also no doubt…

After scoring 41 points in the first half, Wisconsin’s season ends as they fell apart in the second half. They scored 13 points in the second half and went scoreless in the last 9:08 of the game. In the end, the Badgers fell to North Texas 56-54 in the semi-finals in the NIT. Wisconsin ends its roller-coaster season at 20-15. Chucky Hepburn led Wisconsin with 15 points but didn’t score in the final 20 minutes. Here are three takeaways from the Badgers’ gut-wrenching loss. The First Half Was Great North Texas only allows 57 points a game all season. Wisconsin…

It’s hard to believe, but Wisconsin Football spring practice begins this weekend. It’s an exciting time as first-year head coach Luke Fickell will be able to implement everything he wants to. Expectations are high this season as the Badgers did impressive work in the transfer portal. Most of the practices will be open to the media, so we should get great insight over the next month. Here are three position groups I’ll be paying attention to during the spring practices.

The NCAA Tournament is and should be the standard for Wisconsin Basketball. It’s a program that has tournament success and is one of the better programs in the country. However, the Badgers fell short of the tournament this year. Instead, they are in the NIT Tournament and have won their first three games. They are now looking at the NIT Semifinals in Las Vegas Tuesday, where they will take on North Texas. The Badgers are cleaning things up that haunted them most of the regular season and are using these extra games to do so. Free Throw Shooting Is Improved…

It was not pretty. It was a battle from the opening tip. At the end of the day, Wisconsin prevailed despite shooting 33% for the game. After a 61-58 road win at Oregon, Badgers Basketball is headed to the NIT semifinals in Las Vegas. Max Klesmit led the Badgers with 18 points.

After a 75-71 win over Liberty yesterday, the Badgers will travel to Eugene to take on the Oregon Ducks in an NIT Tournament quarterfinal.
