But to get there Gard needs a lot of players to take big strides. This team can look a lot like the 2020 squad, when Micah Potter and Nate Reuvers wreaked havoc with size and physicality. Gard might just be the best coach in the Big Ten when it comes to keying in on the strengths of his roster and designing a gameplan around them. Gard’s 20 Big Ten titles followed very different blueprints, with the former team posing a balanced attack that played through its big men, and the latter centered around star-power on the perimeter. The Badgers will need two of Neath, Davis, Klesmit, McGee and Essegian to emerge on the wings, and none of them are proven at the high major level. But the star duo were both top-300 nationally in turnover rate, and top-400 in free throw rate, meaning they created not just the scoring, but much of the efficiency in the offense. Wisconsin’s offense wasn’t that good last year even with Davis and Davison. The Eagles open the season Tuesday, November 8 hosting Saint Johns. All good things must come to an end, and Wisconsin’s inability to recruit at a high level will eventually matter. The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse has announced its 2022-23 mens basketball schedule. Gard needs to land a royal straight flush of development to get anywhere near the top of the Big Ten. The Badgers lost not only their two leading scorers, they lost their heart and soul with Davis and Davison now departed. A summer foreign trip, and a down year in the conference, will help ensure that is the case. With a foundation of Wahl, Crowl, and Hepburn, Wisconsin will be just fine. But already you can see the players who will emerge.

Yes, Johnny Davis and Brad Davison leave big holes.

No one in the league can claim a system that consistently works irrespective of personnel better than what Gard and his predecessor Bo Ryan have built, and they recruit to their style as well as anyone. But we’ve been down this road with the Badgers many times during the last quarter century. Any team that lost 60 percent of its scoring from a year ago, and ostensibly did little to replace that production must be met with skepticism. RETURNING MINUTES: 52.4 percent (per )īecause: Wisconsin. Kamari McGee, G (11.6 PPG at Green Bay)įreshmen (Rankings from 247Sports Composite).1 seed Michigan made the second weekend out of the nine Big Ten teams in the tournament.Ĭonsidering the draws that Big Ten teams have been awarded, three Sweet 16 teams in two years amounts to a pitiful showing.

That's more than the league could say last year, when only No. 3 seed Purdue - have advanced to this year's Sweet 16. Only two of the Big Ten's nine NCAA Tournament teams - No. In the last year of that span, Michigan State crashed the Final Four in vintage Big Ten fashion: Coach Tom Izzo took issue with his team's draw from the selection committee, and then the Spartans made the final weekend by upsetting a top-seeded Duke squad with three future top-10 NBA draft picks.īut all of a sudden, and almost all at once, the league's heavyweights have started imploding on the sport's biggest stage. From 2000 to 2019, the Big Ten reached 16 Final Fours, most of any conference, and 48 Sweet 16s, two shy of the ACC's 50 - despite the fact that the ACC earned 37 top-two seeds and the Big Ten totaled only 21. In the first two decades of this century, no league was better at maximizing its opportunities in the men's NCAA Tournament. March used to be a banner month for the Big Ten.
