    The Wisconsin Badgers are reeling after an early exit in the 2025 March Madness Tournament.  Wisconsin entered the tournament as a three seed and made easy work of the 14th ranked Montana Grizzlies in round one.  However, they would run into sixth ranked BYU in round two and lost a heart breaker 91-89.

    While the future still looks extremely bright for Badgers basketball, their biggest rival just lost a monster of a weapon.

    According to On3’s Joe Tipton, former Gophers big man Frank Mitchell has committed to St. Bonaventure for the 2025-26 season:

    St. Bonaventure general manager Adrian Wojnarowski, a former NBA insider at ESPN, appeared to confirm the report, first tweeting a bomb (Wojnarowski breaking notable NBA news became fondly known as “Woj bombs” during his tenure at ESPN) before retweeting Tipton’s report. The initial tweet likely confused fans who thought Woj was breaking NBA news.

    Mitchell transferred to Minnesota ahead of this season and played 29 games, including nine starts, for the Gophers this year, averaging 4.9 points and 4.7 rebounds per game, though he picked up his play during the second half of the season.

    Mitchell was among several Gophers players who entered the transfer portal after Johnson was fired after the season.
