Reflecting on a great season for Badger Basketball

So the season ended for Wisconsin with an ugly loss, but if you are a good team your season is most likely going to end with a loss. Only one team leaves the Big Dance with a win in their final game.

31-5 and they will be hanging 2 banners in the Kohl Center when next season starts. Not bad for a team the "experts" choose to finish in the middle of the pack in the Big Ten.

Not bad for a team who looked really bad in the loss to Duke but bounced back and recovered.

Not bad for a team that lost at home to Marquette but still went deeper in the tournament than any of the 3 teams that beat them during the regular season.

They beat MSU twice which is always just that much sweeter since Bo owns Izzo.

They beat Texas in Austin a team that is an Elite 8 school

They showed the world that non flashy basketball can win.

In the end I am beyond pleased with how this season went I really enjoyed following this team. It was a bummer how they went out but that is the Tournament you catch a hot team with a hot shooter riding a wave and shit just happens sometimes.

So in the 2 days we have until the Brewers start lets just sit back and enjoy what was truly a outstanding year for Wisconsin Basketball.

Lets take a moment to say good bye to the Senior players whose career as Wisconsin Basketball players are over.

So fair thy well to Brian Butch, Michael Flowers, Greg Stiemsma and Tanner Bronson it was a joy following all of your careers and I/we wish you the best of luck in your future basketball endeavors no matter where you end up playing.

Two back to back season with 30 or more wins how far this program has come.
