The Wisconsin Badgers basketball team was newly minted as the No. 23 in AP’s Top 25 in NCAA Men’s Basketball and they wanted to continue their upward trend entering their game with Michigan State. They continued to impress with recent transfer AJ Storr leading the charge for Badgers basketball with a win over Michigan State 70-57.
AJ Storr’s Play for Wisconsin Badgers Basketball
A big reason the Wisconsin Badgers found themselves on top was true Sophomore AJ Storr, a guard acquired from St. John’s through the transfer portal. He led the team with 22 points against Michigan State, with five rebounds as well. He went 4-6 past the three-point line.

Naturally, Wisconsin Badgers fans took to social media to talk about AJ Storr’s big game and what this might mean for the team moving forward. Some called him ready for the NBA, others mentioned he might have been the biggest pick up the Wisconsin Badgers or any team in NCAA made this past offseason.
AJ Storr doesn’t seem to have a ceiling on his offensive play. Since the start of the season, he has been learning the difference between good shots and bad ones. Has shown ability to score off the dribble at the rim. And the threat of the drive has created space on perimeter. https://t.co/5Bs77ADxkP

AJ Storr may be the best portal addition in the Big Ten.

Loving the AJ Storr addition and Blackwell is playing so well as a true freshman. Having good depth will play huge dividends for this squad.

Not to overreact, but Wisconsin can make the Final Four. They’ve beaten really good teams already this year. They return their entire starting five from a year ago, add AJ Storr and two rotation freshmen.
They were awesome too last year before Tyler Wahl’s injury
