To say things haven’t gone as expected for Connor Essegian in his sophomore season with the Wisconsin basketball program would be an understatement.
After suffering an injury in the Wisconsin Badgers season opener, the former All-Big Ten Freshman pick went from playing just over 27 minutes per game and pouring in 11.7 points a night to scratching and clawing his way back into the rotation on a short leash by head coach Greg Gard.
The 6-foot-4 guard saw limited minutes in each game after the injury but failed to perform at his usual level. His smooth three-point shooting, his calling card, didn’t translate into results.
